Happy New Year! New Year Resolution! New Idea! New Strategy

New Year! New Resolution! New Plan! New Strategy! New Goal! New Focus! New Tactics

Everybody comes up with difference New Year resolution on what to achieve this 2020 but the question is How prepare are you to chase your goals. Chase your dreams this 2020 with the zeal to accomplished desired goals, what exactly do you need to get started? Can you build it in your basement using standard tools and materials? Does everything depend on a website that distributes the service? Can you handle the startup alone or do you need a team? And if so, a team that includes who? How much money do you need to get your idea off the ground? This is not a fast process. Expect to spend a fair amount of time on research, checking your strategy, what tactics to employ and talking with industry experts and specialists on how to communicate your ideas.

Build a prototype. This is critical with a product, but just as important if you’re offering a service. If you’re creating a service, your prototype can be a process map that details customer contact points and what has to happen internally to meet customer needs. A physical prototype should be working and include a clear understanding of function, reliability and production requirements. If you can’t actually build a real prototype at least have computer-aided designs with detailed specs.

No plan is complete without a thorough financial analysis. This includes a realistic and convincing revenue projection and accompanying costs. You should be able to detail the estimated break-even point and future profits. If you need help on this part, get it. A bush-league financial statement can kill even the greatest idea.

Write your business plan. I’m not talking about the pitch you give potential money people — I mean your internal plan for taking your dreams all the way to the finish line. You need to have this in place for yourself, so that when you wake up tomorrow you know what to do. It will keep changing, and that’s okay. In fact, it’s important to maintain flexibility in your plan.

When you take the leap with your big vision, you’ll either bounce, crash or fly. But one thing’s for sure, you’ll never find out if you don’t take action.
