'by Alicia Lawrence, WebpageFX . Imagine that you walk into a football stadium to watch a professional football game. You are decked out from head to toe in your team’s colors.

'A common request I get while mentoring entrepreneurs is for a copy of the startup checklist they need to follow, in order to build a successful new business. I wish it was that easy. The challenge is that every new business needs to be innovative and different, in order to rise above the crowd, bring real change to the world, and give you the satisfaction you seek.

'I’m not a big football or groundhog watcher, but this year the days have collided. I don’t plan to watch any groundhogs, but I do plan to see part of the Super Bowl. Because my son loves sports, we will be going to a friend’s place to the watch the game so he can be with others who like to watch football. Ah, the things us mothers do for our kids that we don’t have the patience to do for other sports fanatics in our lives.

'I don’t have an MBA. I used to fear that this would put me at a disadvantage in starting my own company, but now I’m convinced that it may be the other way around.

'A month ago, I decided to switch from my iOS devices to Android devices for a month and see how it went. I turned off my iPhone and iPad and turned on a Nexus 5 and Nexus 7. I enjoyed the Nexus / Android a lot. But I couldn’t decide if I liked it better than the iOS experience. It was different in some ways and the same in others. So yesterday after my digital sabbath was over I turned off my Nexus devices and turned on my iOS devices.

'Maytag figured something out many, many decades back. If they put a guarantee on their dishwashers and showed an idle Maytag repairman on TV (if you don’t recall, he was idle because the Maytag products never needed to be repaired), people would buy more.
