I was able to do it for One Page Business Plan, 4 of the last 6 days but Duct Tape Marketing has stumped me though. I just can’t do it.

Now for the fun part. I am not a neophyte when it comes to SEO but let me tell you something. I don’t even try. But you tell me, why is my ratings so good or not so good?

Give me some suggestions, I need help!

SCORE is a great resource for Small Business. It is a very easy way to obtain a mentor and if you are starting a business or have a small business that you would appreciate having a sounding board, I encourage you to contact them. Great resource that is under-utilized in my opinion. Should not every business have a SCORE Counselor?

Several other points: 

1. He says most business people think in terms of PROFITS! But they should be thinking in terms of CASH FLOW! I think anyone that has been through a turnaround can appreciate that comment.
2. #1 item you must do in developing a business plan is to set the next time you are going to meet to review the results.
3. The plan is not the document it is the action of the people. 
4. Some good comments about Business Planning for startups.

There is more packed into less than 45 minutes. There was a couple of technical problems at the beginning so fast forward and listen. I will tell you more about his new book!

I even recently purchased http://www.onepagemarketingplan.net/. Which being an Authorized Duct Tape Marketing Coach and a consultant for The One Page Business Plan makes sense for me. But does it everyone. Not at all.

What you might do:

1. Find your target market
2. Differentiate
3. Buy a couple of domains pertaining to 1 and 2.
4. Go to Go Daddy, their only $10.
5. Redirect them to the most similar page of your website.
6. Add some content on that page, to resemble the domains you purchased.
7. Add the links in a blog or newsletter to get Google to index them?

Simple Marketing Idea?

Well the bottom line is we do work. But why do we make it difficult! There are problems enough created by our outside environment why add to them. I read a book that never really became mainstreamed by Mahan Khalsa. “Let’s Get Real or Let’s not Play that went right to the juggler. It is what I would call the “Discovery” stage with a client. Let’s find out now if we are a match and if not lets move on. The book was promoted as a tool to help clients succeed but the message I received from it was spend time on discovery, making sure that you and your company our a good match with your client. Dissimilar cultures rarely succeed.

What happens when you find yourself in a dissimilar culture. The work is difficult, the client is not happy, your not happy and it becomes well “work.” Is that what we are looking for?

Why is it -5 where I am at?
