Every day is an adventure

You don’t have to live your life the way other people expect you to

“Unreasonable," "unrealistic," and "impractical" are all words used to marginalize

a person or idea that fails to conform with conventionally expected standards

Don’t listen to the voices…

The new reality is that working at a job may be the far riskier choice

but many entrepreneurs get stuck thinking and planning without ever

launching….

They make two common, related mistakes

(1) thinking too much about where to get money to start their project (2) thinking too little about

where the business income will come from

Enter… the Microbusiness

Today, more than ever, you can make good money working for yourself,

doing what you love

Microbusinesses aren’t new; they’ve been around since the beginning of commerce. What’s

changed, however, is the ability to test, launch, and scale your project quickly and on the cheap

Launch Fast = Reduce Risk, Time & Money

Risk doublesevery week

before launch

The basics of starting a business are very simple; you don’t need an MBA (keep the $60,000 tuition), venture capital, or a detailed plan…

You just need a product or service, a group of people willing to pay for it, and a way to get paid

“Plan as you go” to respond to the changing needs of your customers but launch your

business as soon as possible, with a bias toward action.”

Goal of Microbusinesses = freedom

the quest for personal freedom lies in the pursuit of value for others

If you make your business about helping others, you’ll always have plenty of work

Solve aneverydayproblem

focus on usefulness not innovation

you don’t need to change the world to be successful

A desk is a dangerous place from which to view the world

It’s easy to get trapped in our own self-made comfort zones

good things happen to those who hustle

“hustle” means to get outside, to stretch our boundaries
