Don't write a business plan
Published: Tue, 01/28/14
Rip off those sheets on the top with old grocery lists and throw
them away.
Now look at that fresh, blank sheet of paper on top.
Hard to believe that one sheet could hold a million or billion
dollar idea, right?
Start making a list of ideas to connect buyers and sellers.
Or create services to provide.
Or valuable goods to import.
Now add some of your contacts to that list who might know something
- anything - about the ideas that you're writing down.
Now create a numbered list..
1.
2.
3.
Fill in 3 tasks you could do today to see if these business ideas
have some merit.
Make 1 a phone call, and 2 and 3 e-mails to send.
Maybe one of those contacts that you call or e-mail generates
another idea!
Add it to the list.
Now, every day this week, create another numbered list to help you
execute on these business ideas to see if they have any merit.
Call a prospect, and ask if you could be of service.
Execute.
Execute fast, fail fast. If it fails, drop it like a *bad rabbit*
and move on to the next idea.
Ready --> Fire --> Aim
You think failure or lack of startup capital is a bad thing? Ha.
* Good ol' Ross Perot had to market his data crunching business
to 77+ prospects before he found a buyer.
* Colonel Sanders tried around 1,000 restaurants before someone
used his recipe.
* Bill Gates just licensed the software that become DOS; he
didn't even create it. Just found a smart person and scaled
their idea.
If you are thinking about making money in hydraulic fracturing, or
frac sand, Frac Sand Fortunes may be an investment to consider.
It's an expensive monthly newsletter showing you step-by-step
how someone is making cash in the frac sand and related industries.
February's issue of Frac Sand Fortunes features a real frac
sand player, Josh Rodriguez.
Josh started Major Industries with a cell phone. Turned some phone
calls into a frac sand marketing business growing each day.
Just like Bill Gates, he didn't even need to own the asset, in
his case a frac sand mine. He just holds an exclusive to sell
their sand. He found a buyer.
Viola.
An executed idea became a profitable business.
And in February's issue of Frac Sand Fortunes, he walks you
through how he did it.

So, don't start a business plan yet. Leave that for later,
once you've found that idea that sticks and makes money.
For now, focus on that legal pad and just execute.
