I use
Mother as a main tool and I am very pleased with
it.
I
noticed that almost all your products are
designed for ongoing businesses.
What about start ups? |

We have received dozens of e-mails
similar to the one above asking when we were going to
put together a product for the startup entrepreneur.
The biggest reason for this inattention is the
staggering volume of free self-help on the Internet starting
with the Small Business Administration and its field
offices staffed with thousands of SCORE advisors and
dozens of documents online.
Then, we received this e-mail in the Spring of 2007.

I need a
simple-to-use guide that will intelligently
steer me step-by-step through the business
startup process. Ramp-up will be out 3 months.
Can
you offer any advice? |

Step 1: The
Business Audit |
If you really have a passion to start a
new business adventure and carry it forward to
success, there are some rules and disciplines
that you must follow.
J-Kit assumes you have the passion, therefore, we
have skipped some topics that many self-help programs include.
For example:
We don't drag you through the "do you have what it
takes?" scenarios
or
"Is Entrepreneurship For You?" set of mundane
questions. You can get all of this at the SBA website.
Rather, we drop you right into an
exercise that really goes to the heart of starting a new
business: The Business Audit.
You will not believe
the value of this exercise until you start writing a
business plan. The Business Audit is a dynamic
instrument that you update as often as possible to
measure your progress. Your score initially will
be low, but as you progress doing real-time tasks the score rises,
and so rises
your success.
Here are some sample screenshots of The Business Audit System
This explains our methodology.
|
| |
This audit prepares you for your Business Plan.
|
| |
The "Why do this?" of each task is explained here.
|
|
|
Step 2: Strategic
Planning |
|
Following on the heals
of The Business Audit is Strategic Planning. |
|
No transatlantic ship
captain would dare leave port without a Navigation Plan.
Likewise, the successful voyage of a business over time
requires a similar instrument. It is called The
Strategic Plan.
The Strategic Plan is the process by which we can
envision the future and develop the necessary procedures
and operations to influence and achieve that future. It
is the life-support system that, if followed, assures
your business a successful future.
Here are some
sample screenshots of The Strategic Planning System
|
This is
your automated task list.
|
| |
|
These
are explanations for each step.

This is your Automatically
Posted Summary Analysis document.

|
Step 3: Creating a
Business Plan |
|
Now that you have completed The
Business Audit and Strategic Planner,
you have a clear vision as to the contents of your
Business Plan. |
Want to know a secret?
Doing a Business Plan is not hard.
In fact, you only have to do it once and update it
periodically. It is a powerful tool for keeping your
business on track.
To make things even easier we have included the book "The
Dynamic Small Business Manager" and its 350 business templates.
This book includes a section that tells you exactly how to build a classic
business plan. |
