STEP THREE

STEP THREE - Brainstorm session at 2am.

I couldn't sleep for all the marketing ideas running through my head so up i got at 2am and wrote them all down.
I typed them up today. Things like products names, hostess ideas and gifts, can you believe even a TV commercial??
This would all be good and all except for the fact that as yet we don't have our ABN approved, no product or even materials to make, try them, no market segmentation or professionals on our team.

So all i can say is trust me to do things backwards and being that this is my own story on how my start up came to be then i guess this all qualifies as a STEP.

This goes to show the workings of my mind in a very clear way. Eg. I have gone from procrastinator (target market) to insomniac action girl in the space of a few days!
I don't mind the sleep deprivation as i get so excited and spurred on which can sometimes get me lost in the big picture so i think i need someone to bring me back down to earth and back to the boring details. I'm SO not that person.

To help you understand how my and others, yourselves included personality types can either help or hinder try this little test. http://www.oneminutemillionaire.com/tools/hots.asp so spot on you'll be amazed. The HOTS meeting is greet to check it out, While there check out the whole website and by the way his book The One Minute Millionaire is FANTASTIC! Opens your mind. (Not an affiliate link, YET hehe)

Here are my results so you can understand what i'm on about.

Your Answers Indicate A Hare Role
APPROACH: Conceptual/Spontaneous
DESCRIPTION: The Hare generates the concepts and ideas. They like to reframe the problem and look for solutions that may be unusual, unique,and/or outside the boundaries of traditional thought. Hares are good at exploring alternatives and perceiving the "big picture".
Hares want freedom from constraint, and when a rule exists they may break it. They may act impulsively, letting their feelings guide them. They derive satisfaction from the process of creating,discussing concepts and ideas,and overcoming obstacles.
When everything is in its place,the Hare may become restless,get impatient,and have a tendency to move from one subject to another.
CONTRIBUTION: Fresh,original concepts that go beyond the obvious,and are not constrained by fear of failure.
WEAKNESESS: Because the Hare enjoys generating ideas, they may move from one idea to another without stopping to evaluate the consequences.
If left alone to refine concepts,they will solve the problem within the problem within the problem,and eventually lose sight of the objective.
INSTINCT: Reframing problems to achieve breakthrough solutions,moving in new directions,examining possibilities without regard to risk.

Very insightfull. Let me know how you go and what type you are.

While on the subject here is another site i love with a goal challenge to write a list of 101 goals. So much harder than you'd think. Give it a go. http://www.markvictorhansen.com/goal_mining.php

Well as usual i've rambled on excitedly and lost track of my subject so i'll go do some real work haha.
Till next time.
Bye
