The 7-Core Pillars.
Over the course of this book, we’ll focus on seven key pillars:
The Basics: For aspiring entrepreneurs, we’ll delve into the Business Model Canvas and Lean Startup model to guide you in laying a robust foundation for your business. It might be a good section for seasoned entrepreneurs to remind themselves what their core business model is and what are some changes they can make.
People: Building a high-performing team is often a stumbling block. Discover how to find committed co-founders, mentors, and team members. Learning how to do this effectively will save you a great deal of time and money.
Systems: Learn to establish foundational business systems, from client onboarding to team management, positioning your startup for high performance. We’ll focus mainly on sales and marketing systems and touch briefly on the others.
Sales: We’ll teach you the art of deal-making and how to use it in different forms of sales. You’ll acquire essential skills in cold calling, email outreach, deal negotiation, and crafting presentations that seal the deal.
Relationships: Most people love coffee! I hope you do because in this section we’ll focus on the importance of building relationships over coffee. Keep in mind you decide what you want your coffee to be - it can be wine or whisky (shhh). You’ll learn how to build meaningful connections with your team, partners, investors, and peers, leveraging networking events and effective relationship-building strategies over coffee.
Shots (Yes, Shots!): Embrace the importance of having fun as an entrepreneur, and building relationships beyond the screen.
Funding and Scaling: Navigate the nuances of raising funds from investors, and discover the essentials of scaling your business.
Throughout each chapter, expect not just theory but actionable tools, templates, and resources that can be downloaded from our website, making the implementation of these strategies seamlessly integrated into your business operations.
