Building a New Business

Building A New Business


Some of the most successful businesses that we will know in history are still being built by hungry, smart and innovative entrepreneurs.  I know this because of the people I talk to almost frequently while working in  proprietary management consulting.  Many are starting off small while others are navigating the tech world  with a posse and gaining  impressive levels of funding from all the right investors  from seed money,  angel  investors and VCs  (when they are already selling and distributing their products/service).  

Securing funding is a big part of what the CEOs  and Executive Directors of these new companies do day in and day out to assure that they can launch an operate. 

There are other crucial things that are required and are especially recommended for those just starting out. 

If you are trying to" Open for business," be  open for blessings and insights too.  Here are some fundamentals whether you are building a small 1-2 person business or planning the next IPO: 

*Find the white space
*Assess your skills? Team, Advisory and Board, Collaborators,  Management Consultation
*Focus:  Have you identofied the right audience? 
Know the demand and" sociographics.  "Do you customers work for you?  Do you have internal consumers? What is the customer / audience behavior?
*Innovation: Are you different? Are you a unicorn?
-Execute in new and high quality way
-Use Technology
- Disrupt the status quo

*Simplify the customer experience and make it seamless for them to get the benefit of their dollars or consideration
* Understand user experience as PR:  "User experience" is often defined by what the engineers create for engagement but this considers  what I call "HX" - Human Experience. 
 - Your HR team, your sales team, your customer service, your vendors must be compassionate, have great manners and professionalism. They are representives of  your brand.

*Capitalize on the trends - know what is popular in the market and keep that insight a part of the job of everyone to share what they see everyone researches the same way everyone sells.
*Solve problems that are real to stay relevant

*Dream big. BIG!  Always drive for excellence and never settle for mediocrity; instead ask for help. Establish best practices.

*Be a perfect example of enthusiasm and great results in your industry.
*Go get it - There is enough for everybody. 

 Hoping yours is the next legacy family business or IPO as you goals and dreams dictate.

LETTING GO....

  L-E-T-T-I-N-G    G-O You have seen these words before..yes? Very simply written in nine letters. “L e tting  go .” Why does it make you uncomfortable?  It is simply an action that you as a human being experience every single day, just by physically and chemically existing.  It is an action that occurs when you have complete trust in your intuition ; that heaven sent voice inside of you. You know the one you may not always agree with, but the angels are so fond of you ..they send it into your ears, head, heart , and sometimes your eyes? If you are reading this your eyes open and they shut very quickly ..it is called "blinking" but in fact it is letting go and it happens very quickly. As we blink old light goes away and we allow new light to come in …seeing the next moment. As you turned on your computer or device you may have pressed a button, touched the screen, flipped a switch. As you clicked on your mouse, stroked and released keys on the k...

The Things I will do Before You Are Gone....

Fully aware of how precious life is and remembering the tender, exciting and amazing muses that I have been blessed and no doubt favored to know.. I wrote this list. Enjoy it. Create a life you love. The Things I will do Before You Are Gone.© By Adrienne Wallace (June 2008) 1) I will tell you, "I love you more than anything ...except GOD." 2) I will squeal with delight when you have achieved something new or gotten more of what makes you happy. I will stay as you pursue your delight and be a part of you capturing it. 3) I will steal your pillowcase when you are out of the room and replace it with a fresh one. I will put the one I steal on my pillow so I can smell your essence when I nap or sleep. 4) I will hold your hand even if you were 'just my manicurist' and look into your eyes and say "Thank You"... Maybe you're touching hands all day, but I want you to remember that mine appreciates yours. They are so warm 5) I will wish you t...

Where Did It Go? The question that comes when ownership is lost.

" Where Did It Go? " This is a common question asked about time, goodness, old regimes, and old relationships, memory and other than that... money and misplaced keys. Where did it go? We hear this amongst those of us who have not set a strategy and intention for what we have. This also the question that comes particularly from those of us who become all too confident in what we have but do not own. Ownership of one's talent,work, innovation, relationships and contribution is either an old or new concept in many places. What is encouraging is the ability to list our criteria for ownership and then be honest about what we truly own. Here are a few that I was thinking of today: Ownership of material things - You paid for it , don't owe anything for it to anyone Ownership of relationships - You tell the truth, engage with grace, and express mutual respect without excuses or references to what does not apply to the person you are relating to Ownership of innovation -...
