12 Weeks To Get Something Off The Ground
I have lost count of the amount of times I have spoken to some truly talented people,who have this ‘great idea’ that they have been working on for months, if not years.
Yet I have never seen it:
- could be a book
- could be a digital product
- could be a physical business
But it stays in the planning stages for, well, ever.
These are the people that are going to look back one day and think…
‘CRAP’
Why didn’t I just do it?
So far,on my travels and having met all the clever and successful peeps I have,none of the buggers really had a clue that they would be doing what they were doing now.
They took an idea, did some research, then went in…

I have in the last year set up a total of 8 business ventures, and 4 of them (gym/studio, iamthefitnesscopywriter.com, Coffee with Danand my coaching business) have been a success.
The other 4?
Meh.
Went nipples north.
The thing is I used to be attached to failure -when things went wrong I thought I was a screw up.
Now?
I have a simple system.
I give myself 12 weeks / 90 days to do the following:
- research
- launch
- make a profit
- automate
- step back
If after 90 days I’m doing too many hours, it’snot profitable and quite frankly if it’s annoying me?
I tank it.
Shut up shop.
Move on.
There is no emotional attachment to it -I mean you can’t hit a home run every time right?
12 weeks, 3 months, 90 days -from start to finish.
Easy and peasy.
