Dear Stakeholders... from (me!) sandra, tvgp

"but!  i have a VISION! ... not a plan...

-fine.   i'm on my way to the library.  i'll write a plan...



let me speak first of the "build a great business" book. i flipped to page 36

i read:  ..more than two millennia ago, at the battle of arbela in 331 BC, he became master of the known world by defeating darius of persia in a pitched battle where alexander was outnumbered five to one."

i was like..  "331 BC?    -can someone just show me 5 or 6 business plans from the 21st century that succeeded and then i'll know how to write one..      -please."

in fairness, as i read on, this book had some valuable information, but..  i'm just sharing initial reactions..

the business plans book is actually what i needed and what i will use..

but the creative entrepreneur!   this woman speaks my same language..   and because of movers & shakers, and mag time frames, and writeousmom..among other side dish adventures,  i can skip ahead several chapters,  -been there/done that-  

and start about 3/4 of the way through..     it is very true though, historically and practically speaking:  artists and business people are like, two different species.  but we need each other..   and the best of everything we see available in the marketplace today, product or service, is based on either a collaboration between the two, or even better, ...some of these; some of those; and some hybrid brains in the mix..

my brain is already mixing up and getting ready to pour out all the ideas i have for the mission, marketing, objective, target market..  etc, etc,

those things are clear and true, i just have to organize the words..

it's when, as we all know, you must include...    -numbers-    financial   -oh i love this word...  projections...

i'm like..

well, i don't usually write fiction, but..   

i am creative!
