Coach the startup, or the entrepreneur?

We believe to be successful, you need to coach both

Being a great entrepreneur means keeping the right attitude while having the determination and the grit to achieve success. The top entrepreneurs are excited about their product or service, but not blind to it. They have a direction and a sense of purpose, but are open and adaptable to changes. Nothing goes to plan. Success makes them hungry, rejection makes them hungrier
90% of Startups fail. That's a staggering and scary number. That doesn't mean you will fail, but it's not something that can be ignored. 9 out of 10 Entrepreneurs don't believe they will fail. They have all the right intentions, and they have a product or service they believe in. They've read the articles, done the research and have "the plan". Yet the numbers don't lie, 9 out of 10 still fail
With the failure rate being so high, and the risk of uncertainty, most great ideas are never realized. Think about that for a second, think of all the great products, services, advancements we've made over the last decade and more, and most great ideas are shelved because of an entrepreneurs fear of failure before even starting. Those that do start, see a high failure rate.
Whether it not focusing on the customer first, lack of focus, lack of trust, or not prioritizing properly, startups fail for a number of different reasons. That's not you right? No one thinks it is, but yet a 90% failure rate... I like to bring it back to sociology, we get emotionally invested. Fear, misguided confidence, and most importantly ego get's in the way of most entrepreneurs. The emotions get in the way of research. Ego gets in the way of decisions.
To be in the 10% means to change the strategy. There's nothing wrong keeping your emotions, but knowing when the check them and look at the data and the feedback is critical. More importantly, you have to learn to stick to the strategy and evolve when things get hard. Everyone starts with the best intentions, but often get distracted. Make sure your product or service fit the market problem, do not ignore the facts, build a great team with members that can wear multiple hats. Plan to scale, but don't solve world hunger all at once. Obtaining a net positive cash-flow is what we teach.

The steps to success

Startups are different, Entrepreneurs are different, but our high-level strategy is the same.
Have you started or are you still in the "idea"? We will go through the concept in depth with you to get an understanding of the value proposition. If you are in "Idea", we will dive into what you need to move forward. If you have started the business, we'll assess where you are and how you can break through. Either way we will invest the time to become intimately familiar with your business.
We'll outline a plan to success with short deliverables. This is going to be a staged or interactive approach to progress. It could be working through a business or marketing plan, understanding value add and projections, building a great team, or making your first sale. We will set the path to success in small, easy to digest tasks, and we're going to hold you accountable to delivering.
Do you need financing, investors, or grants? What programs are available for assistance? We can assist in making sure you are taking the right steps to get the funding you need, whether it's seed financing, or round financing.
We continuously review progress, re-define the next steps, and set the agenda for the next things that need to be done. As things come up, problems arise, opportunities are discovered, we're right there with you. Working with you to consume new data, discuss priorities, and adjust the plan. Pushing you to self-sustainment.
