When the student is ready, the teacher appears? The PERFECT business model (for me).

[GordonJ]

Hope all of our American readers had a great Thanksgiving and the rest of you enjoyed a great day.

My Thanksgiving was fantastic. And one reason is,

I found the PERFECT business model for me and the Square One Workshops.

Ever since I decided (was persuaded) to bring The Square One Workshops out to a more general public, I've been looking for and searching for the ideal way to do it...now, I think I've found it...

or at least a SUCCESSFUL business model that incorporates all of the elements of a PERFECT business, which are (for me):

Proprietary products which can be protected with Trademarks, Copyrights and Patents or trade secret formulas.

Controlled distribution. But with an "Army" of sales agents.

Acting as a virtual manufacturer.

And a few other criteria.

Well, last night at one of the Thanksgiving dinners I got to attend, I met a woman who has the perfect business.

She is a practiconer and a teacher of some body work technique.
She has "licensed" her proprietary process to 12 people.
The 12 can teach her process to others. These people can then set up their own shops or find work in many areas including corporations.

Anyhow, this is very APPEALING to me.

Over the past few months I've been working closely with people to IMPLEMENT some of the hidden value of the Square One Workshops and as I got away from "marketing" and looking forward to "politics", I was able to "teach" some of the SQ1 in a direct person to person way, something I've avoided doing for many years.

I've developed a new WHITE BOARD strategy and have students far enough along for them to see and reap the benefits of this organizational strategy.

My arcane terms, such as Pyramid of Accomplishment (POA), PictoGrigm of Persuasion, Diagram of Life, have taken on new meaning for several people who are APPLYING the SQ1 to their lives and setting goals.

OK, not to get too long winded, which can be a chore for me....but to summarize,

The PERFECT way for the SQ1 to unfold is along the lines of new friend's already perfected business.

12 MASTER Instructors. Each with a LICENSE to teach the SQ1 to people who can apply it.

As people learn it, they become a sales force, a distribution network that is able to offer the proprietary products to larger numbers of people.

In the past month I've been working hard on getting the SQ1 organized and prepared for "mass consumption"...it has been a challenge and although I'm still working on my new political involvements, the SQ1 has come to the proverbial boil and is no longer back burner...it is "get it to the table NOW, people are starving" project.

I feel that there are a few of you whom might make excellent SQ1 TEACHERS or instructors. It ain't rocket science, and before too long, I'll have a "slew" of success stories from people who have implemented the WHITE BOARD method, which is a small part of the SQ1.

IF you think you might want to be considered for teaching, or if you are familar with the SQ1 and see the potential for mass distribution...then contact me.

NOW that I've found the PERFECT model, which has always been one of my talking points (emulate success), the teacher has a appeared and this student of the masters is ready.

PS. I'd love to get some real teachers and/or workshop presenters into this, I think the SQ1 can be a tremendous agent for positive change in people's lives, and the younger someone is exposed to it, the better.

Gordon,

Phil,

By now, everyone knows "I ain't no Einsteim! E=mc3"

I had a friend and partner, she was a great teacher and was to be the "center" of this business. We had the space, one of the shared spaces, which is really neat if you want to start a brick and mortar biz without having to have a brick or mortar place yourself.

These have become very popular since we did ours. You buy services as you need them, or you pay a small monthly fee and schedule your time to use the conference room, video room, etc.

We actually opened. Had customers. Then two things happened. She was offered a job she couldn't refuse (mainly for health benefits) and was going to do our gig part time. And then I got sick. The precursor to my heart attack in Sept. 08.

And since then, well, I've lost two loved ones, and much sh8t has gone under my bridge. What's the saying, the best laid plans of mice and Gordon...or something like that.

It is still a good and viable idea. I tested newspaper promotions, and as I stated, we even had customers. It would be a great part-time gig for a personable writer with Internet marketing experience.

We started with Two Notebook computers, a video camera, and the office space.

Anyhow, the Cosmos said NO to that one. It likes to say NO to me, which, I guess, keeps me on the path I'm "supposed" to be on?? (Questioning the Cosmos there...while shaking my fist skyward and uttering under my breath "damn you Cosmos {not to be confused with Cosmo Kramer of Seinfeld and more recently, UNfunny standup comments}...damn you" but hoping Ol Cosmos doesn't hear and hold THAT against me too.

I think that today, an Internet Training Center would still be a great little business to operate. The demand for training is only getting larger as more and more Americans are losing jobs and are having to be retrained for their and OUR future.

But, alas, I'm probably not the guy to do it. Too much energy required and I just don't have it anymore. My rehab has me at about 45% of where I was before the heart attack, better than 30% but still a long way to go...and although I won't make it back to 100, if I can get to 75 or 80, I'd be a happy (and less tired out) camper.

What I can do today is sit on my AZZ and talk. Which is working out OK for a handful of people. We were going to bring out the SQ1, but, again, the Cosmos has stuck her big nose into my business...

SO, it looks like something like WiZiQ might be perfect for me now. Thanks Phil, as always, you are a gold mine.

IF anyone is interested, I'll gladly share with you what we did to get customers into our training center.
