A How To Start A Business video series
Last night while working on uploading the updated version of How To Start A Business Without Any Money to Amazon, I thought I wonder how this would run as a TV show. I do have a cousin who is a TV producer, although I would not dream of asking him. So I set about writing an outline and then took each chapter to expand the outline to cover the book. Definitely episodic. This morning I set out with my iPhone and so far I have some of the first episode in the can. I am no actor, and no TV producer, but I think I may be on to something. An educational documentary style series. It needs work (there are captions), and a redo as not everything is perfect first time. I found a button on the microphone afterward that I could have selected that would have reduced the wind noise. It was fun. If you want to learn more about How To Start Your Own Business, introduce yourself, engage a little and the full course unlocks automatically in the classroom. Check it out. Here's a thought and a question for you, to potentially help your business. I started by making a video about one thing. The problem is we can make many one thing, one topic videos, but they don't link together, there is no protagonist or tension, just here it is content, which nowadays you can get from AI on demand anyway. Whereas a series tells a story, has reasoning and cliffhangers (which AI does not have) and a series is potentially bingeworthy. For shows we like, we tend to want more. So the question is, what shows would your audience like to bingewatch?

My chance taken on this project: over 1 M US dollars out of personal pocket. Is that a track-record? I am not sure.... But dare I say, I made it (this far) funding-worthy, together with the help of a very few, who will be recognized first and foremost for their efforts, because they believe, and nobody can do things on their own, and especially not in our industry, where it is all about collaboration, at every level! We have some real and good collaboration deals signed and some already delivered upon, we have conviction and commitment, what else is needed?

@David White I understand, and people come to us with RfQ's and then we cannot find the right suppliers. And we are not legally allowed to put out a product yet, so we are running like in a viscious circle, if that's what potential investors want to see. And therefore all we can do is keep adding up the RfQ's (now beyond 3.5Million already)and if we can fulfill a small order, we will certainly do so...
A simple challenge and an easy win
I was thinking of a comment made by Caroline in the community which was if you like to write, then to grow your business, write, if you like to chat, then chat, if you like video, then produce. Maybe you like one of them, maybe all three. So here is the challenge. By the way, the win is all yours, the prize is yours to collect. The challenge is to write out 10 ways you will make what you prefer work for you. I suspect most can think of 1, 2 or 3, push it to 10, use AI, sleep on it. Pushing your list to 10 will give you more options, plus you will start to see how they can work together, and ultimately create an eco system you love to run. Please either share your list to inspire others, or let me know below you have done yours. Here's mine (I like all three modes unless I am trying to make a video in the street that is - got so many interruptions today): 1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: 9: 10: That was for you to cut and paste, here's my list for reals: 1: Make a series of videos 2: Write a series of books 3: Make a series of apps 4: Make resources for each main title 5: Integrate them all together 6: Create a community where I can help others, get feedback and deliver more. 7: Discover and write out a short list influencers. 8: Write out thought pieces (including random fiction) 9: Create more IP whenever I can 10: Let others know of the resources I create using articles, email and video

Mine would be: (If I had time to do so.... therefore: volunteers wanted!) 1. Document prepping for "access to money" 2. Document the negotiations with the people that have the money 3. Document how it ultimately all comes together 4. Document my experiences during all of the above, what have I learned? 5. Document the follow up, i.e. the implementation, the do's and don'ts 6. The legal compliance and it's hurdles 7. What we have learned from this round of funding 8. The next step, where to go next 9. Investigate the next location 10. What can we take along from the first that will still apply to the next round of funding, and what's different.

What's Actually Stuck Right Now?
This is early days for the Guild, and I mean that literally, everything here gets built based on what actually helps, not what I assume will. So tell me straight: what's the one thing that's really concerning you in your business right now? Vote below, and if none of these quite land, say so in the comments. That's just as useful to me as the vote itself.

The whole accessability of capital; We are still fighting the principle within that market: It is who you know, not what you know, and finding that lead, is worse than a needle in a haystack!
Got a Minute? Let's Talk About the One Thing That's Actually Stuck
If you've just joined, or you've been here a while and something's still not moving, this is the offer for you. One call. One focus: the single thing that's actually concerning you right now, not the whole business, not everything at once, just the one thing that would change if it got solved. Forty years, four businesses, and clients from one-man bands to Ernst & Young, IBM, Vodafone, Disney, and Sony. I've almost certainly seen a version of what you're facing before, and a fresh pair of eyes on it usually gets you further in thirty minutes than another few weeks of working around it alone. Book a time here: https://zcal.co/davidwhite/30min Come with the real problem, not the polished version. That's the one worth spending the call on.

I can only agree. What is or becomes "normal" in the eye of the beholder can be very questionable through the eyes of an outsider. It is therefore very advisable to take that outsider's opinion and / or advise seriously, certainly never throw it away, because their perspective is most likely closer to the perspective that you are creating for the outerworld, than what you may think you are creating!
