person, with an idea, with a goal.

Why some online business failed?


Pets.com
Started: 1998. Dead: 2000.
A high profile marketing campaign gave it a widely recognized public presence,
including an appearance in the 1999 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and an
advertisement in the 2000 Super Bowl. Its popular sock puppet advertising
spokespersonality was interviewed by People magazine and appeared on Good
Morning America.

Although sales rose dramatically due to the attention, the company was weak on
fundamentals and actually lost money on most of its sales. Its high public profile
during its brief existence made it one of the more noteworthy failures of the dot-
com bubble of the early 2000s. US$300 million of investment capital vanished
with the company's failure. The company was headquartered
in Emeryville, California, U.S.

Financial risk with the entrepreneur's advantage to motivate the desire to
increase wealth

Ready or not, you have to be ready. The question now is, “are you ready to get out
from your comfort zone?”

BULLSHITS. Entrepreneur or not, you will always have to balance your personal life
and your professional life.

Business Plan
Quite contrary with general
assumption about business
plan, there are success stories in
entrepreneurship coming up from
“just do it”-attitude with no initial
business plan.

The point in this part is:

Understand your market. Be clear


with your objectives.

Most of the times, business plans are


only fancy texts and numbers on
papers. It’s all come back to you.
“Make it happen.”
The importance of business plan
(because sooner or later you will need it anyway)

Business plan created to be the path for new or existing business to gain
profit.

Business plan also a document required by lenders or investors, if you


need external funding.

The main reason to write a business plan is for guidance to run business
Business plan =

What’s the benefit? + Outcome +
Vision + Mission + Goal
