    How Can All the Radio Stations Be #1?
    Are you confused by all the information you receive from various radio stations? Do they all tell you they are #1 and you don’t know who to believe? Most of them probably are #1 so believe it or not, they aren’t lying to you. The question is, “What are they #1 in and is it a group of ears you want to reach?”Quite often a radio “Account Manager” or “Account Executive” which are pseudonyms fo

    If we also consider my original criteria above I can safely say that I now have a couple of ideas which fulfil the following criteria:

    • They have proven to be immediately profitable on a small scale
    • I am passionate enough about them to put in more time and effort
    • They're scalable, so I can grow the ventures almost limitlessly
    • Networking 101
      As a new business owner you must wear many hats. You will need knowledge of accounting, marketing, advertising, management, administration, inventory, sales, etc., in addition to knowledge pertaining to your industry. Since you may be very proficient in some of these areas, but not in others, reading and learning about these other areas is imperative. Of course, the question is, when do I f
    Many people plan to start their own business some day. Many of these people have a specific kind of business they'd like to start and spend many years thinking about it. Others are looking simply to quit working for other people and will do almost anything that they feel they might succeed at.

    Assuming you do wish to start your entrepreneurial life then you may be lucky enough to know exactly what you want to do. This is great as such passion is important if you're going to persist until you achieve success.

    But that leaves the remainder of us who wish to start some kind of new venture but have no idea what it might be.

    Something I learned recently when looking for a new venture to pursue is that it's worth trying out a number of ideas on a small scale and seeing what actually works and what doesn't.

    I chose a couple of ventures that fulfilled the following criteria:

    • They could be started with very little money and effort
    • I could easily drop the ideas if they didn't show promise early on
    • They were scalable, so that I could grow them if I wished
    • I was passionate enough about them to put in more time and effort if they showed signs of potential

    By doing this I was surprised to find that ideas I though would almost definitely be successful showed little signs of success. Conversely, some ideas which I had doubts about have actually proved early on to be immediately profitable.

    What I've ended up with now is some ideas which I know aren't worth pursuing further but which cost me very little time and effort to find this out. I am really glad I didn't invest a large amount of time and money into these ideas.

    More importantly I have one or two ideas which I previously wouldn't have invested anything in but which have proven to be profitable from the beginning.

It’s still cheap and easy to get started. Web space is still easily available. However, it’s alsely, some ideas which I had doubts about have actually proved early on to be immediately profitable.

      What I've ended up with now is some ideas which I know aren't worth pursuing further but which cost me very little time and effort to find this out. I am really glad I didn't invest a large amount of time and money into these ideas.

You need to first realize you may need to stop spending time on things that are not making you any money.Adjust Your PrioritiesIf you are serious about starting a business as an ITen to be profitable from the beginning.

        Now, this next part is important...

        If we also consider my original criteria above I can safely say that I now have a couple of ideas which fulfil the following criteria:

        • They have proven to be immediately profitable on a small scale
        • I am passionate enough about them to put in more time and effort
        • They're scalable, so I can grow the ventures almost limitlessly

        I do now intend to pursue these ideas further. Due to these small scale experiments I am also safe in the knowledge that these ideas work. This is something that many people don't normally find out until many months of effort and many thousands of pounds have been put into an idea which was probably never going to succeed anyway.

        I think the lesson to learn here is to start small, try out a few idea which are cheap and easy to try, which are scalable if they succeed and which you're passionate about. Then drop the ones which show little sign of success but run with the ones which prove themselves worthy of further efforts.

        I appreciate that there are some ideas which can't be tried out on a small scale and to which these experiments don't apply. However, for many ideas a small scale test is possible and is highly recommended for the reasons stated above.
