Freedom Business: Platform, Product, Go Already

by Robert on March 30, 2010 in Experiences, Stage 4: Business with 9 Comments

As last week zoomed by and I continued to plod along creating an online business from scratch I thought about what to share this week in my experiences. How can I give you value? Blogs and resources abound on how to start building a business throughout the interwebs, but I wasn’t interested in simply regurgitating a list and sending you on your way. I did enough list making in my last post categorizing over 100 different resources I’ve used since starting this project. You deserve the story behind the list, the things that create context and something to act on…and you’re going to get it.

I’ll keep in tune with what this project is all about, real life. We’ve established the feasibility of an idea and now we’re going to monetize it. The platform is explained below, a specific niche product has been identified, and the science of execution is at hand. The long road of business growth lies ahead, and here’s what it looks like.

Editor’s Note: The following is a guest post by Chris of Virtual Business Lifestyle. Follow him on Twitter @chriscducker. Next week, freedom business growth.

Nowadays we hear the term ‘Virtual Assistant’ more than ever before. It seems like everyone and his dog has hired a VA and is busy traveling the world, whilst their trusty VA stays ‘home’ and does all the work. Particularly lifestyle design advocates!

However, the bottom line is that in the ‘real world’, business owners and entrepreneurs are way too busy building their empires to take that much time ‘off work’. And very rightly so, too. You don’t get anywhere in life without working hard – we ALL know that. Continue reading →

Guide the Future and Eat a Good Breakfast

It’s been a while since I’ve taken a snapshot of how things are going at The LDP project. There are some solid resources The LDP has been featured on lately and a few behind the scenes workings that I’d like to share about. In fact, as what usually happens, there’s more than a few things going on behind the scenes and a few directions we can focus on going into the future. I need your help with that. Check out what’s going on around the project and influence where we go from here in today’s post PLUS a time saving breakfast batch secret I just discovered AND a video in which I chug a 2 liter bottle of Pepsi Max. It’s like 3 posts in one! You’ve been warned. Continue reading →
