Focus is the best gift one can give to their customers and audience; but can be the most challenging and elusive of tasks. Entrepreneurs love to say they have focus and then talk about the fifty different things they want to do with their widget company. It is an easy way for investors trip up the entrepreneur. It is painful for the entrepreneur to focus.
Its a little easier for investors to focus: it is THEIR money.
Here, your time is your money. To focus this blog I offer the following (and request this of the audience) idea. In ranking order, let us focus this blog on:
1. Elements of the VCPlan. Those concepts from the Multi-Point Lists that investors, and entrepreneurs use to evaluate each other, how it is done, and how it is best to meet those expectations. This includes concepts that are not included, and why.
2. Those issues or tenants of wisdom that influence investors, and entrepreneurs directly in their pursuit of excellence in the Elements of the VCPlan.
3. Other ideas that are only one or two degrees away from the issues or elements.
Finally, on people:
4. Highlight people with entrepreneurial spirit seeking positions; and what is the best way for them in an entrepreneurial way to get a position using the Elements of the VCPlan. Whether the job seeker wants to find employment or start a company is up to them.
Focus on Elements that investors use to evaluate entereprial companies, the issues and related ideas that affect those elements, and entreprenurial spirited people seeking a new position in life. This includes both the what, the how, and why of all three. This blog should help one understand how to identify the best potential investments as well as how entrepreneurs can develop their companies and show them in the best possible light.
