EPISODE E1.008 The 1 Year Plan - Part 1

RESULTS RADIO..."Let's Grow Together"

Introduction
Hope everyone is looking forward to a great week. We have a few announcements to make about growth of the IBGR Network. 

First, we are doubling the number of new and returning visitors to the site. July was twice June’s numbers and we beat July’s numbers over the weekend.

Second, with the addition of Gambia on Sunday, IBGR is now heard by entrepreneurs in 100 countries. That is 51% of all the countries on the planet. 

Third, we have declared war on Covid19. That is not on the disease itself, just a worse variant of the flu. Our declaration is aimed at those politicians and bureaucrats that are making arbitrary, non-science based decisions on economic activity. People with no skin in the game, collecting checks from our taxes are deciding which business lives or dies. If you do your own research, a stark reality will become apparent - what is happening in your country is not based on science - it is based on power and control.

• Lockdown Restrictions Are A Test To See How Much Tyranny Americans Will Accept
• THE TRUTH ABOUT COVID19 - DON'T LET THE BUREAUCRATS AND POLITICIANS GIVE YOU A LINE OF BULL.

Put all of this together and we are your advocates against the forces of statism and command economies. We understand entrepreneurs are a different breed that don’t live by the leave of others - why? Because everyone at and associated with the station are entrepreneurs. We are building a network of ideas, insights, and tools that will help you navigate the pandemic and beyond.

Show Objectives - The Why
This is a critical time. It is difficult to go back and build or undue what should have been built at the beginning. Today's Show will focus on how our approach to business plans that is radically different (and worth doing) than the traditional product.

Key Issues - Owners Perspective:

1. How do I start the business - what is the blend of research (due diligence) and urgency (open as soon as possible)?
2. What systems and process do I have build to start?
3. Once the doors are open, how do we generate enough money to grow and prove the business idea?
