“Stop Trying to Boil the Ocean.”
That came from a venture capitalist friend and business associate.
The Reason: Many entrepreneurs feel that if their idea is large and sweeping, it will be more appealing.
A woman approached me.
Woman: has idea to teach women entrepreneurs a winning mindset.
Her concept: she needs gobs of money to promote herself. She’s going to have a number of experts that she interviews and yada, yada, yada, yada.
My concept: She’s taking on too much.
First: Prove you are the expert. You have a following. You have some corporate sponsor.
Second: Get your specific niche defined and proven.
Third: Do not start interviewing too many others; otherwise, your audience will look more to the experts you bring than to you.
Reasons for failure:
- 1. Taking on too much
- 2. Creating self imposed stress
- 3. Going out of focus
- 4. Not sticking to a consistent message
- 5. Not establishing proof of concept
- 6. Not showing before and after results
- 7. Not showning measurable results so customers know what to expect
Boil your ocean down to a barrel where you know the fish and the fish know you and are eager to be hooked by what you offer.
