Sticky- How to Use This Darn Thing!!!As we really hate forums with threads all over the place, we set up our forum in a simplified format (as it gets evolved so will this site). But essentially it is set up for people who are typically looking for help in starting or growing their business (checking out our 10 day ecourse helps alot). The categories that start with "Focus On:" are the Renegade CEO's recommended 7 core categories that you should focus on as you start and grow your business. Your needs will vary based on the business type but you should look at your business collectively grouped that way and not as a bunch of individual entities (as presented in the description). Tips when posting anything on this forum or within the Renegade CEO's community channels: 1. Read with purpose. 2. Interpret with compassion. 3. Respond with conviction. You are an entrepreneur, a leader, a visionary. You want people to look to you as a credible expert. Even if you have questions and don't understand everything, remember it is part of the learning process but it doesn't negate from your expertise or ability to effectively run your company. |

Elevator Pitch- Get Discovered!This is where Venture Capital companies and investors lurk. Companies look to recruit freelancers and consultants. And Renegade CEO staff looks for their next joint-venture (doing a business opp together) candidate. So when you introduce yourself I want you to do it this way: Tell us your name, company name (or if you are new let us know) and tell us what niche or specialty market you are focusing on. What group of people does your business product or service specifically help and what problem do you solve for the marketplace? And if you have a myspace account, facebook, blog or website don't forget to include your link (on your profile page as well). That is the best way to promote yourself with humility. ;-) Is that an oxymoron? lol. |

Publish your first ebook or special report? Get your blog or website launched? Well send us the good news so we can share it as well. Perhaps we can send out a press release jointly with you or feature you in an upcoming blog post, in an ezine or feature you in an innerview or on a teleseminar. The next stop just might be that\ Wheaties box ;-) |

Focus On: Operations & InfrastructureOperations and Infrastructure is how your business gets started and continues to exist. They are things that happen cyclical in nature. Your business could be as simple as starting it up with an idea and a service and start selling. No legal paperwork required. You just claim your sales on your tax returns. Or it could be a more sophisticated business type (LLC, S Corp etc). So this section will discuss business start up types, techniques, bookkeping; taxes; legal; financial; and most importantly how to build systems that will help you to effectively manage your business. |

Focus On: Niche Markets & Target CustomersIt's not about a great product and amazing customer service. It's about solving a problem or creating a product that talks to a specific group of people; how did you come up with your niche market; and how do you find target customers to increase conversions? |

Focus On: PR & CharityWhat goes around, Comes around. So instead of waiting until you get 'famous' it's better to be good and do good NOW. How are you putting good energy out there and how have you used Charity and PR to help leverage your brand and develop yourself personally and professionally? |

Focus On: Creating an Exit StrategyDissolve your business on your own resolve. Think through how you want to end your business (when the time is right)- sell it, franchise it, collect licensing fees and move on, give it to a family member or good friend. |
