Part 7 – The Aha! Moment – The Problem Is The Product. June 2, 2014. Last week I experienced an “Aha! Now I was faced with my own problem. How do you create a product when the client problem is unknown and you don’t even know who the client is. How can you create something if you don’t know the end-game? I spent a long time mulling this dilemma, and wasn’t getting anywhere. Then the “Aha! 8221; moment hit! 1 You need to start with a problem approach, not a product approach. You don’t want to create...

https://zero2startup.wordpress.com/2014/05/15/part-iv-initial-steps
Part IV – Initial Steps. May 15, 2014. In the last few posts I went in to some strategic thinking about how to define the philosophy of your new startup. This time around I’m going to drill down to focus on some tactical things to consider before starting. In this post I cover a few items that need to be considered up-front. I’ll follow up later on some of these in future posts. So, what do you need? Initial Product / Service Pipeline. So, you have products in your pipeline. Why are they there? Sort your...

Part V – Tracking Your Passion. May 19, 2014. There are those that build their dreams while others follow them. I don’t have any real deadline that I need to meet, but I feel anxious to get things running and ‘in process’. I’m maintaining objectivity and not jumping too early. I’m not in analysis paralysis. I’m just seeing things that I don’t know much about and want to learn enough to make a reasonable decision. I’m investigating using http:/ score.org. In terms of tracking how much money I’m inve...

Part 8 – Management Through Fear Is Not A Good Corporate Culture. June 9, 2014. I’ve worked with and in various companies and corporations in different industries. One thing I’ve come away with from my experience is that for the most part all business entities manage through fear. So, why did Tandem choose to do this? I’m sure most of you have worked in an awful company at one time or another, so I won’t provide an example. Draw your own. Let’s start with the big one of the big three first:. If we don’t ...

Monthly Archives: May 2014. May 26, 2014. Part 6 – What Do You Do When You’re Branded? Welcome to part 6. Last time I talked about pushing yourself too hard when trying to get your startup going. This time, I’m going to take a detour and talk a bit about branding and logos. The other reason for exploring crowdsourced design site was that I felt I wouldn’t be limited to a single artist or style. So, I now have a new logo or brand image. Now what? Why did I choose to get the redesign done now? First of all...

Part 9 – Philanthropy In A Startup. June 16, 2014. What does the word “philanthropy” mean to you? Does it sound big, important and expensive with images of stuffy men pulling on fat cigars in plush rooms. Or maybe, it reminds you of Bill and Melinda Gates? Perhaps you were on the top 50 philanthropists last year ( http:/ philanthropy.com/article/A-Look-at-the-50-Most-Generous/144529/#p50 list. Even dictionaries include the term “wealth” in the main definition of philanthropy. People who donate (are phila...
