Notas do Editor
This is a summary of a 2-day course we do called launch.
Just a very quick overview of my journey and how I got here. My journey to entrepreneurship began with wanting to chase a little bit of Olympic glory. Rowing got injured I couldn’t row any more so I started a rowing business. Where I had a factory in Germinston making carbon kevlar rowing boats. The same stuff they make rocketship and lance Armstrong’s bike out of. But soon realized that chasing Olympic glory was a whole lot more fun than building rowing boats. So I quit the business sold out to my partner and decided to get into entrepreneurship education. Starting off lecturing at the university like UJ and WBS. I soon realised what they were teaching entrepreneurs really wasn’t that helpful. So I decided to study the problem doing my masters and now my PhD in predictive models study what really do you need to do to make a business successful. And since then have helped literally hundreds of entrepreneurs get there businesses of the ground.
I am going to start my talk right at the beginning with Jean Bastist say the French economist that coined the world entrepreneur which means to undertake.
Now George Bush in one of his Bushisms said that, “The problem with the French economy is they have no word for entrepreneur.” Apart from the being totally ridiculous statement as entrepreneur is a French word. Mr. Bush is right in his proposition that entrepreneurs create jobs and wealth and solve important problems in society. Sadly a lot of entrepreneurs struggle.
This slide taken from the 2011 gem report and StatsSA says there are about 2,5 million people are all jacked up stary eyed ready to take on the world and are in the process of setting up a business. But unfort, 2,39 million people have subscribed to the notion of if life gives you lemons, say damit and bail and are in the process of closing down the business. So there are a lot of people trying to start business and not succeeding, which is a problem.
Research models were you can break up businesses into different groups
This is one thing were the idea of business plan as spread all over. Of the studies that have looked at business plan nearly all of them show that business plans don’t have an impact on performance, or worse they actually hinder performance. And there are very real reasons why spending a week or 2 writing a business plan is a bad idea.
Also, when you look at the best.

Company White water rafting, survival training, fishing & canoeing. Fine in Summer, but in winter when it was dark and cold – tourist wanted as much to do with him as, a modelling agent would want to Quaizmodo. So, he travelled the world and thought that he would hold a ice art exhibition. However, day before the exhibition the tempraturesunually rose and all the art melting. Being a quick witted fellow. Bergvist decided to hold a seminar on how to make ice art. What he found is that a number of the guest started making igloos and talking about wanting to spend a night in an igloo. So, he chucked on the ice scuplture idea as so the ice hotel was born. 33,000 vistors now visit the Ice Hotel every year and 11,000 guest stay over night making Bergvist very successful in the process.
Evan Williams is an entrepreneur that founded 2 of the top 10 internet sites. Blogger and Twitter. What is interesting about both start ups is that his initial plan or “guess” were different to the final business. Pyra Labs which become blogger was initially a project management software company, a note taking feature of the software was spun off at blogger. Odeo was a podcast company that he realised as going no where, his guess was wrong, he through decided do a brainstorm session that resulted in twitter.
Plan -> Action -> Learn -> Adapt -> Results Make Plans -> Take Action -> Get Feedback -> Record Results 1) Proof of Concept 2) Minimum Viable Business Model 3) Business Model Optimization 4) Early Growth 5) Late Growth
And at each of those stages you have prove that your business model makes sense.
What is pre-mature scaling. No it is not scaling the fish before it’s dead, or getting on the bathroom scale before it is ready for you.
It is when you start growing a business before you have found product-market fit.
One of the best examples of pre-mature scaling was webvan.
A recent study done last year by a group of researchers in silicon valley 3,200 internet start ups found that a full 74% of internet start ups failed because they tried to grow the business. Before they had found product market fit.
They also found that business that found product-market fit grow at about 20 times faster than startups that scale to early. The bottom line is you don’t want to start making moves on that girl until you know she is very interested and will be willing to stick around.
