Almost every entrepreneur starts their journey by developing a solution, based on their idea of a new technology or required service. These idea and developer skills are necessary, but not sufficient, to build a business. A real business requires leadership – thought leadership to attract customers and mind share, as well as people leadership around a team, partners, and investors.

You’re more likely to find a business that has in-office staff, staff working remotely from home, temporary workers, and freelancers. This mix gives you a lot of benefits that you weren’t able to get before for your business.

Therefore, I often recommend to entrepreneurs and business professionals that they not get too frustrated with initial failures or give up too soon.

Successful entrepreneurs often start with a “random” idea, but they quickly focus their efforts and follow a “system” to organize their startup and maximize the clout of their activities. Too many entrepreneur “wannabes” never get past the idea stage, or strike out randomly in many directions, hoping that their passion will convince people to follow them and make their business grow.

If you know me, you know that I learn by doing, writing, reading, and thinking out loud.

Why is a sales funnel called a ‘funnel’? Basically because it is much wider at the top than at the bottom. The CO— website run by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce notes that, at the top of your company’s sales funnel, “you’ll likely have many more prospective customers, known as leads, than prospects who come all the way through the funnel to become customers.”.
