2. Give them the fish

• Value: something desirable and of worth, created through exchange or effort.

3. Follow your passion...Maybe

• Passion + skill > problem + marketplace = opportunity
• Not every passion or hobby is worth building into a business, and not everyone will want to have a business that is based on a passion or hobby.
• A specialized consulting business in a one day - the more specific, the better.

• What do you want to do?

5. The New Demographics

• Who are they? Where are they and how do you find them?
• Focus on getting to know your people.
• Old-school marketing is based on persuasion; new marketing is based on invitation.
• Find out what people want and find a way to give it to them.
• Use surveys to understand customers and prospects.

• Get the first sale as soon as possible.
• How can I get my first sale?
• The 140 character mission statement

• FAQ, Guarantee, and Overdelivery
• Give them more than they expected.

8. Launch!

• Scientific Advertising by Claude Hopkins "Fire sales" "everything must go"

• Outsourcing, affiliate recruitment, and partnerships.

13. Going long

• A business that is scalable is both teachable and valuable. If you ever want to sell your business, you will need to build  teams and reduce owner dependency.

14. But what if I fail?

• Advice can be helpful, but you can also just step out and take a big leap.
• Don't wait for someone to give you permission.
• The biggest battle is against our own fear and inertia.
• Don't wast your time living someone else's life.
