I know to find the elements within
the individual and put them
together in the right order to create
a profitable solution for the market

3. It all starts
with an Idea….
No matter how good, a lot of
people wait to implement
PROBLEM:
• Lack of clarity
• Bad advise
• Trying to do it alone
• No plan

5. 1. Define your
business design elements
• Above all: Know yourself
• Your personality, your
strengths, your passions, your
drivers are the foundation for
your business model and for
your unique value proposition

6. 2. Build your ideal customer
• Your customer is the center of your
business. It’s not about you, but all
about him.
• Have a very precise picture of them
• Know what keeps them awake at
night
• Know their needs and pains

7. 3. Be visible and make it easy to do
business with you
• Don’t hide, show the world
who you are and what you
can do for them
• If nobody knows you, you
won’t make business
whereas there are people
out there, who really need
your solution
• Brand yourself, get your
message clear and share it
in places where your
customers spend time

8. 4. Automate, build processes and
implement systems
• Speed up your implementation
• Use technology
• Automation is already possible
in a very early stage of your
business

9. 5. Gather people
who follow your vision
• When it comes to growth, it‘s all
about people. You can’t do
everything by yourself
• To put the right people in the
right place set out a vision people
can buy in
• If they share your vision, the rest
is easy, because they will take
care

10. 6. Make it scalable
• Ask yourself, if your business is
able to grow without being
hampered by its structure or
resources
• If you trade hours for money for
example, this is not a scalable
business, because you have only
24 hours a day

11. Ready. Fire. Aim.
Most importantly...
• Speed of implementation determines your
success
• Start before you are ready
• Adjust afterwards
