Business startup design mind map, Part 2

For the sake of completeness, I've included the above which is the second part of the business startup design mind map.

As mentioned before, I'll keep refining this mind map and you can get the latest version just by dropping me an email at omnidigitalbrain@yahoo.com

Such a startup business design mind map is useful because it's vital to clearly define, concretely and measurably, what one's business will be like in 3 to 5 years. Future items in this mind map will include:
  1. Number of customers served per week
  2. Average sale per customer
  3. Viral marketing strategies
  4. Word-of-mouth strategies
  5. Continuous marketing research
  6. Forward and backward integration plans
  7. Information systems
  8. Crowdsourcing strategy
  9. Youtube strategy
  10. Slideshare.net strategy for training sales reps
  11. Sales management
  12. And about 50 more items

The success secret is to fully understand that the MORE detailed your vision of what your business will look like, the more focused -- consciously and subconsciously -- you will be in realizing that vision.
