About

The Evolution has created an

Entrepreneurial Revolution

The time is now to start planning to open a new

business, rebrand an existing business, or

develop a new product or service.

We recommend starting a new business as a side

gig, because you will need to stabilize before

making it a full-time job and hire employees. Most

businesses fail within the first three years, so

starting a business while employed is the best thing

to do. Failure in entrepreneurship is learning, not

the end. So often, failure results in a better product

or service.

Thousands of jobs are being eliminated daily

because of Automation, The Internet of Things, and

now Cyberphysical Systems. Jobs lost are not

coming back, but new jobs are being

created. Those new jobs are not as labor

intense, but thinking intense. Yes, research,

critical thinking, design, and evaluation. As an

employee or employer an entrepreneurial mind is a

hot commodity.

Therefore, we present to you, Opening Soon,

Inc. – 90 Days to Launch. Learning, Tools,

Coaching and a Business Community to help

Learning is lifelong, you have to be willing

to learn and know how you learn best. Make

it fun, intriguing, and share with family,

friends, and colleagues. Opening a business

is a risk, but worth it if you have a product

or service that will create a positive impact

What is your Big Idea

An Idea is an Idea, is an Idea

Ideas for creating a business, invention, or

prod-uct come from many different

sources. The quality of those ideas subject

to the user and the markets of availability.

Some of the things we take for granted

everyday were likely once considered silly,

useless, and crazy.

When City Center Bank of Syracuse, NY, advertised

a new drive-thru banking service in 1928

it may have raised a few eyebrows. How the

bank arrived at this new concept could have

been related to limited parking due to the

popularity of the automobile, time saving for

their custom-ers, or just more efficient for the

operation of the business. This concept spilled

over to the

Pogo-Copter – A standard pogo stick

with a propeller attached to send you

into a floating state each time you

bounce. Patented in 1969.

food industry in 1948 when Harry and Ester Snyder

opened the first In-n-Out in California; this new

concept eliminated the need for car hops (outside

waitresses). A drive-thru is a convenience that

people now use as part of their daily lives for banking,

fast food, pharmacy needs, and many others,

including a wedding chapel in Las Vegas. Sometimes

a strange idea turns into a great idea once

people try it. The hardest part of trying something

new is the fear of failure. Sadly, there are no guarantees.

The best plan, the best marketing, and the

best idea cannot ensure a successful business, but

it helps. It really comes down to knowing who your

customers are and what they want.

Take a look at these two ideas. One failed, one is successful.

focus must start shifting to your customers and what their idea of a good business or product is.

Where Do Business Ideas Come From?

Hobbies and Interests

Having passion for what you do is important for your

success, but sometimes businesses are started just

because there’s a need and someone with an

entrepreneurial mind sees that need and realistically fills

it. Determining what type of business might be needed is

easy; determining if it will work is a little harder.

Think about this. What’s missing? Is there a service or

business that people in your area have to travel

elsewhere to use or shop? What are people complaining

about? Maybe it’s a problem that could be solved if there

was a business to meet that need. What works in other

cities? Sometimes people don’t know they need

something until they experience it.

Figure 4: Gary's Model Train Shop

Need

When turning your hobby into a business you can be

assured that you have passion for what you want to do.

Passion, however, is not the only thing you need to

consider. You may love to play golf and want to turn that

into a business. There are many things you could do, such

as giving lessons, open a golf store, operating a golf

course, etc. Ask yourself these questions before turning

your hobby into a business:

Do you have the skills to do it well?

If your hobby becomes your job, will you still be as

passionate about it?

How does making your hobby profitable affect the other

aspects of your life?

Sometimes people don’t know they need something until they experience it.

You & Wellness / Platform for Leadership

Holistic Leadership

• INTELLECTUAL UNDERSTANDING - FOCUSES ON STRATEGIC THINKING, THE ACQUISITION OF NEW

KNOWLEDGE, AND INDUSTRY AND BUSINESS INSIGHTS — ELEMENTS THAT SUBJECT-MATTER

EXPERTS AND FACULTY IN BUSINESS SCHOOL EXECUTIVE EDUCATION PROGRAMS TYPICALLY

DELIVER.

• EMOTIONAL AND SOCIAL COMPETENCE - GETTING THINGS DONE IN ENTERPRISES AND WORKING

THROUGH ISSUES OF TRANSFORMATIONAL CHANGE REQUIRES LEADERS TO HAVE SUPERIOR SKILLS IN

ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING RELATIONSHIPS.

• PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH - MANY LEADERS WORK LONG AND DEMANDING DAYS, SOMETIMES

COMBINED WITH INTENSIVE (INTERNATIONAL) TRAVEL AND IRREGULAR TIMES FOR EXERCISE,

RELAXATION AND EVEN MEALS.

• SPIRITUAL INSIGHT - SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT, TO A LARGE EXTENT, CENTERS ON THE PERSONAL

VALUES OF LEADERS. WHAT IS IMPORTANT FOR THEM IN LIFE? WHAT DO THEY WANT TO ACHIEVE

PERSONALLY? HOW DO THEY ENVISION THEIR LEGACY? HOW DO THEY TREAT PEOPLE? WHAT’S THEIR

VISION ON THE WORLD AND THE ENVIRONMENT? HOW DO THEY CONNECT WITH PEOPLE?

• A HOLISTIC APPROACH - THE COMPLEX DEMANDS OF THE 21ST CENTURY REQUIRE LEADERS WHO

ARE SKILLED AND AWARE IN ALL FOUR AREAS.

Ideation, Design Thinking,

Product Development

Figure 5: Next Laundromat

Ideation is the process where you generate

ideas and solutions through sessions such as

Sketching, Prototyping, Brainstorming,

Brainwriting, Worst Possible Idea, and a

wealth of other ideation techniques.

Ideation is also the third stage in the Design

Thinking process. Although many people

might have experienced a “brainstorming”

session before, it is not easy to facilitate a

truly fruitful ideation session. In this article,

we’ll teach you some processes and

guidelines which will help you facilitate and

prepare for productive, effective, innovative

and fun ideation sessions.

“Ideation is the mode of the design process in which you concentrate on idea generation.

Mentally it represents a process of ‘going wide’ in terms of concepts and outcomes. Ideation

provides both the fuel and also the source material for building prototypes and getting

innovative solutions into the hands of your users.” – d.school, An Introduction to Design

Thinking PROCESS GUIDE

So often we start with an idea, open a business, and just try selling the product or service. Marketing

has always been an afterthought for most small businesses, but now, must be in the forefront.

1 st Mode: Empathize – It is your effort to

understand the way they do things and why,

their physical and emotional needs, how

they think about the world, and what is

meaningful to them.

2 nd Mode: Define – Your chance, and

responsibility, as a design thinker to define

the challenge you are taking on, based on

what you have learned about your user and

about the context.

3 rd Mode: Ideate – Break that larger

challenge up into smaller actionable pieces.

4 th Mode – Prototype – producing an

early, inexpensive, and scaled down

version of the product in order to reveal

any problems with the current design.

5 th Mode – Test – the end to end process

of marketing, sales, service, developing,

packaging, delivering/distributing and

measuring

Opening Soon, Inc. – 90 Days to Launch | 08


Business, Marketing & Strategic Plan

(Interaction Design Foundation, 2018)

Business Plan – A written document describing the

nature of the business, the sales and marketing strategy,

and the financial background, and containing a projected

profit and loss statement. This is the Executive

Plan that usually.

Marketing Plan – The written document that describes

your advertising and marketing efforts.

Strategic Plan – Operations Management level plan

that documents the strategy, people, process, technologies,

and resources needed to market, sell, and

distribute/deliver products and services.

Figure 5: Next Laundromat

A business plan covers the “who” and “what”

of the business. The strategic plan gives us the

“how” and “when.”

Business Plan Outline

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY - THIS IS AN OVERVIEW OF YOUR BUSINESS AND YOUR PLANS. IT COMES

FIRST IN YOUR PLAN AND IS IDEALLY ONLY ONE TO TWO PAGES. MOST PEOPLE WRITE IT LAST,

THOUGH.

2. OPPORTUNITY - THIS SECTION ANSWERS THESE QUESTIONS: WHAT ARE YOU ACTUALLY SELLING

AND HOW ARE YOU SOLVING A PROBLEM (OR “NEED”) FOR YOUR MARKET? WHO IS YOUR

TARGET MARKET AND COMPETITION?

3. EXECUTION - HOW ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE YOUR OPPORTUNITY AND TURN IT INTO A

BUSINESS? THIS SECTION WILL COVER YOUR MARKETING AND SALES PLAN, OPERATIONS, AND

HOW YOU’RE GOING TO MEASURE SUCCESS.

4. TEAM AND COMPANY - INVESTORS LOOK FOR GREAT TEAMS IN ADDITION TO GREAT IDEAS. USE

THIS CHAPTER TO DESCRIBE YOUR CURRENT TEAM AND WHO YOU NEED TO HIRE. YOU WILL

ALSO PROVIDE A QUICK OVERVIEW OF YOUR LEGAL STRUCTURE, LOCATION, AND HISTORY IF

YOU’RE ALREADY UP AND RUNNING.

5. FINANCIAL PLAN - YOUR BUSINESS PLAN ISN’T COMPLETE WITHOUT A FINANCIAL FORECAST.

WE’LL TELL YOU WHAT TO INCLUDE IN YOUR FINANCIAL PLAN.

Marketing Traditional vs. Digital

Marketing is the management process

through which goods and services

move from concept to the customer. It

includes the coordination of four

elements called the 4 P's of marketing:

(1) identification, selection and

development of a product,

(2) determination of its price,

(3) selection of a distribution channel

to reach the customer's place, and

(4) development and implementation

of a promotional strategy.

(Business Dictionary - Definition

Marketing, 2019)

How are you going to reach,

engage, and sell to your target

audience, market, clientele? You must

have a plan. Traditional marketing is

print, tangible brochures, newspapers,

billboards, magazines, commercials,

etc. You will still need traditional

marketing for clients that still seek

information from these sources.

Traditional marketing strategies can

be costly, but their digital competitor

is driving down costs. If you can

imagine the costs of traditional

marketing ranging from a Super Bowl to a local Metro News

advertisement.

The Design Thinking phase outputs will provide facts

about your empathy for your client. You will also have data

defining the needs, wants, and behaviors of your client. If

you cannot confirm how to market, engage, and sell to the

customer, then you’ll end up with product & services sitting

on the shelf.

The Design Thinking phase outputs will provide facts

about your empathy for your client. You will also have data

defining the needs, wants, and behaviors of your client. If

you cannot confirm how to market, engage, and sell to the

customer, then you’ll end up with product & services sitting

on the shelf. The data will also be used to take your

marketing into the digital realm.

What is Digital

Marketing?

The promotion of

products or brands via one

or more forms of electronic

media. For example,

advertising mediums that

might be used as part of the digital marketing strategy of a

business could include promotional efforts made via the

Internet, social media, mobile phones and electronic

billboards, as well as via digital and television and radio

channels. (Business Dictionary - Definition - Digital

Marketing, 2019)

CBS Corp., which will broadcast the big game from

Atlanta on Feb. 3, is selling 30-second commercials for

$5.1 million to $5.3 million, people familiar with the

matter said.

& Platforms

Figure 12: Ecommerce Process

You must have a distribution plan, supply chain partners,

secure pay, and inventory.

“In a nutshell e-commerce is the process of

buying and selling of produce and

products by electronic means such as by

mobile applications and the Internet. ...

As the internet becomes ingrained in our

daily lives and routines, acceptance of

businesses are taking advantage of this.

Lean Canvas is a 1-page

business plan template created

by Ash Maurya that helps you

deconstruct your idea into its

key assumptions. It is adapted

from Alex Osterwalder's

Business Model Canvas and

optimized for Lean Startups. It

replaces elaborate business

plans with a single page

business model.

Business plans take too long to

write, are seldom updated, and

almost never read by others

but documenting your

hypotheses is key.

Lean Canvas solves this

problem using a 1-page

business model that takes

under 20 minutes to create.

(Leanstack - Lean Canvas, 2019)

Business Canvas

Provides a quick business

planning visual that can be used

by an individual, small group, or

big corporation. This does not

replace the tradition business

plan that financial institution will

require.

Provides an approach to

brainstorming and the key

points needed to help you take

your solution from the problem

to defined revenue streams. A

living breathing plan that will be

adjusted as you learn more.

Funding Startup & Industry

When you have a great

business idea, funding is

nearly always the sticking

point. It’s a great

idea, after all, but how

will you raise the money

to get it started? This

funding can come from personal savings, line

of credit on your home, family and friends, a

small business loan, and/or alternative lending.

Get to know your local bank and let’s keep

our funds in the community. They see your cash

flow, know your spending habits, and you trust

them to keep your money.

Traditional Funding – small business loans

and people/groups/government investing in

your business for a return on their investment in

terms of product/services and with grants an

economic impact in underserved and represented

communities.

Alternative Funding can include funds for

equipment and cash advance on invoices and

potential eCommerce platform projected

sales.

Your Business Plan is the proposal that will be

used to apply for loans and funding. You will

also need to understand your industry and

forecasting. Not just

writing in your plan,

but knowing that

your product is

relevant and viable.

How does your product

or service measure

up to the top competitors? You will get

these inputs in the Test Phase of Design Thinking

along with industry research.

If you plan on obtaining a loan, please ensure

you understand the 5 C’s of Credit:

1. Character

2. Capacity

3. Capital

4. Collateral

5. Conditions (Investopedia, 2018)

You will need income or revenue to qualify for a

business loan.

Bootstrap Your Startup

Sell goods and services to meet the startup

budget. A loan can be obtained later in the life

of the business.
