Draft One of the Book Outline

Back on April 22, 2009 I wrote about what I have seen as the five "must haves" to build a Sustainable Startup. In reviewing these it is clear to me they represent the first draft of the book outline. Certainly once we go through the clarity questions and the remaining steps as outlined in this blog but as it relates directly to the book the outline will become more detailed and robust. At this time however I think we should continue on the path of writing about what I am now referring to as the five steps to building a Sustainable Startup.

Draft one of the book outline: 5 Steps to Building a Sustainable Startup

Step 1. Clarity - being very clear on what we want to accomplish as opposed to what we think we want to accomplish.

Step 2. People - being able to identify who we need and not what we need.

Step 3. Working Plan - "The key to a plan working is not the plan but the process." - Chell, August 09

Step 4. Cash - prioritizing & maximizing your cash.

Step 5. Balance - Live within your means and pay yourself first.

This post completes our goal of having a draft outline for the Sustainable Startup book done by the end of August, (I know it is September 1st :-)

Next post we will continue with the second and third components of a Working Plan. Scalability and Measurability.
