It’s your life….

“Since no one, will be showing up to die for you….perhaps it’s time to start living your life as if it were the most honest expression of who you are…”

Reality Check What is real? Rigorous assessment and evaluation of the business; results, clients, team, competitors, resources, leader. Identify market

opportunities, uncover false assumptions, strengths, weaknesses, threats & opportunities for growth.

What do you want? Vett out market opportunities that are congruent with your businesses expertise, passion and purpose as well as the

entrepreneurs values and passion. When we get real about what is the path to ‘what we want’ becomes clear.

Why must you do this?Filter all opportunities through your values, purpose and passion to align and create congruency and maximize

synergy. If it’s not aligned it’s not an opportunity. We want market timing, competitive advantage and synergy with our expertise, passion and purpose to align.

Who with?Who are the people, what is the expertise and resources necessary to achieve what you want, goals, visions

benchmarks of success?

How will you do it?What is the business model that will ‘power ‘you from where you are ,to where you want to be and how is it dynamically

designed for constant improvement as the journey unfolds?

Understand support, team, employees , partners, insights and perspectives.Evaluate the competitive landscape, market and major trends.Identify: false assumptions, incongruence's, strengths, weaknesses, threats and new opportunities

Page 6: Reality check.ppt2

Be ClearEvaluate opportunities and decide what you want to achieve. What is the end in mind. Goals? Timing is everything. So are team and resources. Is this the best investment of your precious life resources; time, talents and assets? Does it get you up in the morning and keep you up at night? IF it needs to make money can you bring it to market innovatively at a high value? Is there both alignment in the marketplace and in your personal beliefs, values and vision?

Purposeful and MeaningfulVett out all opportunities. Identify the opportunities which offer greatest opportunity based on market timing, congruency and return on investment. Increasingly employees and investors will be looking to align with leaders and ventures based on the impact the business has on their life. Is it congruent, meaningful and purposeful? 100 people are turning 60 every 16 minutes ; they are nearing the last quarter of life and want purposeful, meaningful products and services in addition the millennial's will not be bothered with meaningless jobs like boomers were.

EntrepreneurialThink outside the box. Be Creative. Learn to embrace what is unknown, ambiguity. Show up. Engage others. You don’t have to do it the old way. Anyone who can solve a problem is adding value. How might you take control of the solutions you want to be involved with and use this to fuel and propel the life you want to

InnovateInnovative Business Models Design , reinvent and innovate business models to seize white or blue space that leverages the businesses sweet spot .

Think bicycles, business models are nothing more than the models for getting you where you want to go. They are financial engines.

Page 11: Reality check.ppt2

Dynamic, Flexible & Agile Dynamic Actions Plans that are relational based and collaborative will succeed. Think from a design , model and framework mentality not a static ‘plan’ perspective. Flexible models are real time dynamic and they evolve play by play. Take action. Execute. Certainly strategize but don’t plan forever, get out there – call it a beta if you must, but start moving. Develop engagement and listening and feedback systems to inform the model and keep tweaking it till it works!
