Episode from StartupNation Radio Channel: Business Planning

Episode Spotlight

Michael Gerber’s E-Myth franchise debunked the common myths surrounding starting a business. He outlines a series of steps that take people from beginning to end and teaches that a successful business is autonomous; it succeeds without the entrepreneur rather than because of him. Gerber believes that your business should thrive independent of you so that you are not a slave to it. That being said, a business should be born of a dream.  This is the theory behind In the Dreaming Room , Gerber’s latest project.

In the Dreaming Room is an event that encourages people to identify their dream and find a way to pursue it as a business. Michael holds these events nationwide as a venue in which people explore their passions, identify them and find a way to connect them to a business plan. Listen in as Michael Gerber explains the reasons why dreaming is essential.

Jocelyn, there are a number of topics here on the forums about finding investors, working with investors, and getting capital. If you search the topics, I`m sure you`ll find a number of recommendations that would likely be useful for you. :-)

I kind of look at it this way: Great idea--poor business plan--potential success. Weak idea--great business plan--potential failure. Both great idea and great business pan--it`s a hit! I have searched for this type of investor as well. In my case, I found it is truly like looking for a needle in the haystack. It`s all about the niche you create, sustainability and the company looking for your idea. It`s hard to line them all up. I was fortunate an investor found me. We`ll see where it goes. &n...
