One-person show.
Not scalable:
more hours => more income
Own boss. BUTOwn employee, also.
No value generation without you.

BUT THERE IS MORE THAN THAT
Create a system, so work doesn’t depend on you

Own boss.
You can take a holiday. You will still be paid. Can also hire a CEO.

vs
Business plan Real life extreme uncertainty
Erdem Ovacik – Business Entrepreneurship Project – Spring 2013
LEARN TO LEARN – TO UNDERGO EXTREME UNCERTAINTY
Erdem Ovacik – Business Entrepreneurship Project – Spring 2013
THE MAGIC VALIDATED LEARNING LOOP
Erdem Ovacik – Business Entrepreneurship Project – Spring 2013
GOING WILD MAKES SENSE IF YOU ARE LEARNING
What are your assumptions?The loop gives => validated learning
What will people sign up to?
How are you accumulating your knowledge?
Website, video, minimum viable product, features, additional services, channels, pricing, etc
Call, talk, interview, survey, watch, A/B test, Google-analyse
Drive conclusions on your initial assumptions.
Erdem Ovacik – Business Entrepreneurship Project – Spring 2013
START WITH CLARIFYING YOUR ASSUMPTIONS
When we have an idea, we make (conscious or unconscious) assumptions.
Know your assumptions.
To get some answers, ask:
- Do consumers recognize that they have the pain you are trying to solve?
- If there was a solution, would they buy it? - Would they buy it from us? - Can we build a solution for that problem?
Erdem Ovacik – Business Entrepreneurship Project – Spring 2013
THINK HARD – WHAT ARE YOUR TOP 3 KEY ASSUMPTIONS?
Student idea
An App to report Autoparking availability from car-parks.
- Autoparks would SMS info every half hour to receive 5% more traffic
- Customers would pay 1$ per request
- There are regularly parks with idle capacity
Erdem Ovacik – Business Entrepreneurship Project – Spring 2013
BUILD SURVEY, SCREENSHOTS, ETC TO MEASURE
Students put together an interface and went to speak to autoparks.
They also received signups to the service and launched a survey to find out how willing people were to pay.
They did not start coding a product. Initial product was the product interface and a website.
Erdem Ovacik – Business Entrepreneurship Project – Spring 2013
REMEMBER TO GET YOUR BUTT OUT THERE.
Answers are out there. Use your network, creativity, etc to get to them
Erdem Ovacik – Business Entrepreneurship Project – Spring 2013
FIND OUT WHICH WAY TO CONTINUE
Students found out that autoparks did have the space and they would SMS every half-hour to report on the availability.
But, users would not pay $1 to find out about the availability!
They quit the project. For now.
Erdem Ovacik – Business Entrepreneurship Project – Spring 2013
A FINE BALANCE OF SPEED, LEARNING AND FOCUS
Erdem Ovacik – Business Entrepreneurship Project – Spring 2013
VIRTUE OF LEAN: STOP WASTE
Don’t waste your time, others time.
Don’t waste money.
We live once, so make sure you do stuff that succeed.
So, smell it as early as possible when you are wasting time.
Control Damage by thinking Lean.
KNOW WHEN TO STOP.
