Do You Have a Business Map for Starting Your Business?
I came across a new video that shows a great way to lay out your business to give yourself the best chance of success (and it shows you the right way to play the fun "what-if" game of web marketing success).

It lays out a foolproof pattern that lies at the heart of every successful business and condenses it into something easy -- and fun -- to understand. Click here to see this video.

It reveals how to create your very own biz-map PLUS I show you the actual map of a real-life $25,000 per month business.

You'll learn:

• The 5 Key Parts of the Internet Business Map: 1) Core Message & Story Angle; 2) Products and Revenue Sources; 3) Traffic Sources; 4) An effective marketing calendar; 5) Ways to project your results and set appropriate milestones for success
  
• Simple things you can do to immediately start generating a consistent stream of traffic while you start and grow your business
  
• How to put the Internet marketing puzzle pieces together to create your own complete web marketing funnel and web business strategy
  
• How to finally create your own living, breathing Marketing Calendar (aka: the secret weapon of the top marketers secret weapon)
  
• The one key tool you need to start and grow your business fast
  
• Helps you start and develop the habit of planning where you're going and how you're going to get there.

If you're serious about having a successful business, then this will make it much more likely you will succeed with less time, effort, hassle and problems than if you just "winged it."

This will turn your ideas into reality because you can see more clearly how it will look and how you will get there. Clarity is a very good thing in business.

PLUS, you can get your own free fill-in-the-blank biz map template, and a copy of the real-life biz-map of a $25,000 per month Nitro Blueprint Business. Click here to see this video.

My New Baby
No, neither my wife nor I have been secretly pregnant. This is more of a business baby.

I've been swamped the past week and am just getting back to posting. I'm wrapping up a new website for a client to better serve a niche that he already serves.

Have you ever been on the mailing list for someone who was conducting a huge launch? Invariably, the stated deadline passes and you get an email that says, "Guess what. We had such a great response that our servers melted down and not everyone who wanted to get in did. So we're extending the deadline for two days to make sure everyone who was locked out by our server failure gets a fair chance."

In the past, I've always looked at that kind of email as pure hype, driven by a psychological ploy to convince people that they almost missed a golden opportunity and had better jump now while fate offers them a second chance.

After this week, I'm not so sure that server meltdowns aren't a normal part of a new launch.

Although we didn't have a deadline, we fought one server problem after another -- right after a couple of thousand flyers were delivered to potential customers.

ARGGGH!

At any rate, this new site is now alive, and it feels good after months of work.

Feel free to look over my latest baby, WoodworkingProjectsAndPlans.com. It's not for retail customers. It's designed instead for woodworking teachers and classes. But if you know of someone in that target market, please direct them over to see it.

Bookmark it in the social networking sites. Talk it up.

It shows a lot of promise for serving a market that it really serves well. I'll share with you in next few days some of the thoughts that went into this site.
