Have You Had A Great Idea for a New Business, But Felt Completely OVERWHELMED?

That's probably because starting a new business can be overwhelming!  Start-ups face tremendous uncertainty, infinite To-Dos, tough competition and the terrifying risk of failure.  And you're not quite sure where to turn for help!   The Internet actually has too much business start-up information.  Also you never know just how reliable this information is and whether the provider is more motivated to earn commissions by recommending affiliate products than in actually helping you.  

  • Information overload: There is so much information available on business startups that it's easy to simply become lost in it.  You spend valuable time reading through numerous articles and posts while trying to organize and make notes for reference and you are left without a comprehensive plan.
  • Where do I  start?:   The overload of information leaves you stranded from a starting point.  You keep plowing through information and tips, but nothing comprehensive to plan your steps to success and actually get started. 
  • Hard to Understand:  Some of the information uses certain buzzwords and jargon that can be unnecessarily complicated and difficult to understand.  And doesn't all instructional information seem to assume that you know something that you actaully don't? 
  • Personal Productivity Skills Not Addressed: Most startup material only addresses the business side of entrepreneurship. However, your personal productivity, self management and execution skills are often more important to the success of your business then the strategic business decisions themselves.  That's for you to learn in another book or resource, but who has the time?   


  • Can I trust the information?:  As you know, there are no retrictions or accuracy guidelines on much online content.  In my experience, some of the information on business startups is helpful while other sites that I have reviewed are totally useless.  Also there are many business information sites whose sole purpose is to hustle you for some speculative business opportunity or push affiliate sales where they eceive a commission.  
  • No one seems to realy understand how difficult a startup is:  Many "experts" assume you have unlimited resources to devote to a startup and provide advice that is both expensive and very time consuming to implement. Also there isn't any "heart" or feelings in the often dry advice.
  • Can Anyone Guide Me?:  You don't need to be chastised for past failures or just given general suggestions on business startups.  You need a mentor who understands your challenges and helps you with the necessary steps of your Entrepreneur Hero's Journey,  to address the inevitable obstacles along the way and successfully launch and succeed in your business.   


Solution:

The Entrepreneur Hero's Journey Program

Don't Fear the Reaper : Artificial Intelligence ("AI")


Course Will Provide Strategies to Implement AI in Your Business Plan and Your Business.

AI is a disruptive technolgy, attracting huge investments in the current AI "gold rush," just like the early Internet days of the mid to late 1990s.  But the fate of even some of the most well funded early Internet startups was utlimately decided by the free market and consuming public.  Those that could not profitably attract customers by solving their problems or meeting their needs eventually failed.  Your call to action on your entrepreneur hero's journey is to successfully address a customer problem or need in your market segment with current technology while looking for opportunites to better serve your market segment as the AI technology continues to evolve.  The businesses who own and continue to attract satisfied customers are best positioned to capitalize on AI technology to better serve and provide more value to their customers.

        Big Tech is spending billions on AI, which is a truly disruptive technology that could have a profound effect on the economy. A disruptive innovation occurs when a new business model transforms the way that people and businesses operate; which includes new innovations and solutions to challenges. There’s even concern that AI could displace large segments of the workforce. Many of us are currently experimenting with AI with various projects such as resumes, letter writing and even contracts and initial drafts. Many of us feel  somewhat paralyzed, hoping that our skill set is not displaced by machines. It doesn’t have to be that way.

    Remember when this creation called the Internet first disrupted the economic landscape. Like AI, the Internet had been around for literally decades until Netscape, the first graphical browser, was developed. That set off the Internet goldrush and massive sums were poured into companies that were predicted to totally dominate their economic sector. Some eventually did, like Amazon and Google.  But many did not.  

    That is because consumer demand, what consumers were actually willing to pay for, did not sufficiently materialize for many of the initial Internet high flyers.

        Eventually the money ran out and these well funded startups failed, even after astronomical initial valuations.   Many of these startups operated on the erroneous premise that they could easily  dominate a segment of the market with a generic domain name and a large budget.  They incorrectly ASSUMED, that consumers would come flocking because the Internet was just so powerful.  These companies did not understand that, even with disruptive technology, consumers still need to be ACQUIRED.  In the early Internet days, new customers needed to be carefully coaxed into this new online world with superior value and customer service and persuaded that e-commerce could actually solve their problems and meet their needs.  The premiere example of a startup which understood customer acquisition is Amazon, which started as an online bookstore and then eventually expanding into everything else.  Amazon focused on acquiring and delighting customers with the convenience, reliability and over the top customer service.        

      Despite all the promise and hype, paying AI customers are still going to have to be ACQUIRED.  Those businesses and entrepreneurs with an existing, satisfied  customer base will have a much easier time selling AI solutions or products to their market segment.   That could be your business!

  The Entrepreneur Hero's Journey Course Will Position You to Exploit Disruptive Technology 

If your waiting for the the perfect time to start your business, you may be waiting a long time.  Commit to your Hero's Journey and determine how AI could assist in your product development or as part of your business solution, if applicable.  The focus should always be on customer acquisition in your niche or market segment.  If you have satisfied customers in your niche, then you can sell potential AI solutions to them and even position your business (primarily your customers) for sale.  The smaller companies who eventually grew larger effectively served their customers by addressing a customer need or problem.  Controlling the customers is just as important as controlling the technology.  Like the Internet, AI technology will eventually become widespread and to some extent commoditized even possibly as a backend utility.  But an acquired receptive and satisfied customer base has temendous value since it cannot be easily duplicated.  It's much easier to sell solutions to customers who already know and trust your business. 

This Course Will Help You Access Your Inner Hero!

You have a brain more capable, more original and more complex than any AI system.  This course will teach you to optimize and couple your brain with your heart and access your inner hero as well as provide a detailed path for your Entrepreneur Hero's Journey.

You have everything inside of you to succeed in business. No matter what your background, education or resources are, there are people with less advantages than you that started and succeeded in their own business. They were able to access their inner hero and leverage their skills and resources with the desire and belief of their inner hero into a successful business.

Mastering entrepreneurship and business skills is only half of the journey of a successful business. The other half is mastering your internal resources and accessing your inner hero with positive beliefs and perseverance skills that will lead you to persist in developing a successful business.

Perseverance or grit is the single most important quality of the entrepreneur, and is the secret for outstanding acheivement.

Module 9: Artificial Intelligence "AI" (Incorporating AI Into Your Business Plan)

With the explosive popularity of such AI sites as ChatGPT and the rush of investment into AI companies and applications, the chatter on "AI" has  reached a fever pitch.  While AI is currently showing tremendous promise in handling repetitive, data-driven tasks and making data-driven decisions, the full extent of its ability to replace human processes is not known.  This module will illustrate how to use AI in your business planning in assisting with copy and advertising preparation, performing market research and other aspects of preparing your business plan.  Also there is discussion on using AI to assist in your buisness and offer solutions to your customer.
