Am a BIG fan of a "non traditional" approach to starting up - i.e., NOT a business 'plan'

A suggestion/recommendation which I now freely pay forward to anyone who is a sidepreneur, solopreneur, mobile-preneur, or any other class of (entre)preneur is to invest in these two resources: Blue Ocean Strategy & the Business Model Canvas. For the latter, there is an app in the Apple store to download as well.

    This is a 30-50K ft level response (can unpack further upon thoughtful req. ) -- as I transitioned from coaching to educational solutions, I found that the "blue ocean" was present - so few institutions ( K-12, college/univ, & graduate ) include let alone focus on soft skills & "alternative" philosophical approaches to educating the citizenry outside of the conventional 140 & 70+ year ones in universal use = viola! the core of my customized solutions = both of the above.
