Published in
3 min readJun 22, 2016
The 30-page business plan is dead. The 10-slide startup deck is dying.
Here are the 14 steps you need to take to start a business in today’s climate.
1. Think of an insanely amazing business idea
2. Tell your friend who knows nothing about business your business idea
3. Calmly take in how successful and rich you are going to be because of your business idea
4. Navigate to GoDaddy.com and indecisively purchase 4 domain names for your business idea
5. Feel an extremely small sense of satisfaction
6. Take a nap
7. Wake up to the disgusting reality that starting a business is hard
8. Write a Medium post about your experience
9. Think about hitting the Publish button for 36 days
10. Finally share your Medium draft with that same friend for feedback
11. Hit Publish before you can reconsider
12. Freak out when your article doesn’t instantaneously go viral
13. Question everything
14. Binge watch Gary Vaynerchuk videos until you build up enough inspiration to start back at Step 1.
