The Cheap Revolution

In the early 70's, my father bought a new-fangled calculator. It was the size of a bathroom scale and cost $100 Today, far more powerful calculators are given away as keychains.

The Creative Economy, the Information Age and now, the Cheap Revolution, are some of the terms used to describe our changing business world. Stunning advances in technology and dramatic access to a wider pool of talented professionals are creating new opportunities for entrepreneurs to create a "big company presence" on a budget.

The trick is having an experienced guide and a proven method to tapping the potential.

Dear Skip,

Most entrepreneurs I've met want to build their web site, create a powerful logo, develop their product and marketing plans and generally get started with their business ASAP.

As an entrepreneur, you are faced with two choices in executing these plans:

  1. do it yourself (often poorly), or,
  2. die buying

In this issue, we take a look at a novel approach to bringing high value, professional expertise to your startup at a price-point that lets you execute on other priorities.

P.S. - Don't forget to check out the free July offer at the bottom!
