Escape Confusion…Storyboard First!

What do you want to accomplish…

Whether you’re an entrepreneur online or offline…it’s often hard to put your ideas into action. First you wade through the data, sort out the information and then try to find the fastest way to bring your plan to life.

In your business, do you need to:
Analyze an opportunity?
Brainstorm a new business idea?
Create a block-buster product?
Decide on the spot?
Evaluate best choices?

Whether you want to create a new product, market your HOT idea or transform your website into a cash machine…you need a roadmap. A storyboard is how you can go from idea to action–fast.

Wouldn’t it be great if you knew this second how to take your idea into action?

But hold on a minute…what’s your current problem?

Maybe you’re are tearing your hair out. You’re struggling with overwhelm…spending days in confusion…only to realize that weeks are flying by and your idea is not moving forward. What can you do?

Perhaps you go online for answers. That’s overwhelming. When you see what’s already out there…it can spell instant death to your just-hatched idea. Maybe you  go to the bookstore. And get lost.

Or look to the experts. Consultants and internet gurus. They have lots to say. But if you’re jumping from one to another …each one tells you something else.

It’s just so hard to even know where to start!

And that’s when I bet you’ll agree enough is enough. It’s time to take control. With a strategic storyboard you’ll be in charge. You’ll see exactly what’s going on in the big picture of your business. And you know your very next step to make progress.

I’ve seen this happen in every single case. Solo entrepreneurs and Fortune 500 executives. A storyboard is the fastest and easiest route out of confusion. Into results…and cash.

Wouldn’t you like to know what to do next? So, really…

What do you stand to gain?
What would it be worth to you if you have a clear unwavering roadmap? If you could make split-second decisions to jump on once-in-a-lifetime opportunities? What if you knew that the path you’re on is the exact route to reach your goals?

I bet you wouldn’t have that gut wrenching acid pain that doesn’t go away.
Here’s the thing no one tells you… that pain in your stomach is because your ideas are stuck. Inside. Stuck means tension. What’s the way out?

Storyboard your plans first.

Map out your ideas. It’s hugely relaxing. Once your ideas are out of your head and on a logical storyboard… you can take a huge sigh of relief. Finally…all your ideas are in one place.

And it’s not just one place like a scrawl or mushy mixed up notes…it’s in a clear flow. It’s creative AND logical. And this blueprint helps you make incredibly fast progress.

Do you know what that means? No more sleepless nights… no more waking up at 3 am doing the mental math of all you have to do…all the debts you owe… all the loose ends…all the missed deadlines.

Once you storyboard your ideas, you can relax. And  finally get a good night’s sleep. You’ll get the rest you deserve.

With a storyboard, you’re organized (and not just staying busy.) How can you tell the difference? Besides being relaxed, relieved and getting the rest you need…you’re making progress!

But maybe you’re wondering if storyboarding is really necessary. I understand. Let’s look at that..

What do you stand to lose if you don’t use a storyboard?

The single biggest problem of wandering in your business without a strategic storyboard is:

You’ll miss your shot. You’ll lose your window of opportunity.

You may not want to admit it but doesn’t it piss you off to see YOUR idea already on the shelf…but someone else is collecting the cash? Doesn’t it make you furious? Someone stole your idea…and is making millions. You know the HOT idea you had in the shower…but didn’t find time to actually do.

I see this so often that I made a YOU Tube video: Is your idea at risk?…take a look VIDEO

And if that isn’t bad enough, aren’t you fed up staying super busy in your business…but not getting the results you imagine. Can you really handle more credit card debt and having your project take longer than you estimated?

It’s not just you by the way…this is really scary. Over 90% of projects go over budget by 180%. Even the big companies can’t afford that. And I bet you can’t either. It doesn’t have to be that way. With a plan, you can keep your project on track.

And it doesn’t matter whether you plan is an Internet project or marketing an online business. When you use a storyboard, you can prevent the scope from creeping wider…and you can take control and bring your idea to life.

But I have to tell you the most exciting part…

What resources do you need?
Here’s the best news. Storyboarding is quick and simple to learn. You don’t need to buy any expensive software. You don’t have to wade through a complex manual to start.

All you need is a pen, a piece of paper and your thinking power.
In as little as 3 minutes a day, you can storyboard your strategic plan.

Wouldn’t it help you to make faster decisions?

Doesn’t it just burn you when you watch successful people make on-the-spot decisions? How do they do it? How does Trump make a snap decision and earn billions in a second?

They know their #1 priority. It’s a fact that top CEO’s are famous for big picture thinking. It comes naturally to them. But even if it doesn’t come naturally to you, you can learn how to make smart and fast decisions. With a Strategic Storyboard.

It’s easy to see what’s your top priority and make fast, smart decisions. Ones that help you jump on opportunity. Land deals. And be first to market.

When you look at your plans step by step in a visual layout, it looks like a frame by frame snap shot. Kind of like a roll of film. (PICTURE)

You can instantly see what needs to happen first. And next. And next. It’s easy to see the picture and be certain of your decisions. And you can join the successful people by making fast SMART decisions.

This is such a popular feature of storyboards that you can take a sneak preview now of:

You’ve used the Strategic Storyboarding system and here’s a sneak preview of you:

Your project is complete! Pop open that bottle of Veuve Cliquot. Toast yourself. Celebrate with your team. Have a rock out party…You did it!

Just imagine how good it feels as you see what you’ve done. It all started with your idea. Now…orders fly in. Your website is up. Your business is getting lots of press. The phone is ringing off the hook. Cash is flying in.

Here’s why you were able to do that…. whether your business is online, offline or both,
you took storyboarding for a test drive. You used the only hands-on system to move quickly from idea to action.

While you used this systematic process, you  met these criteria for success:

In every successful project, there are certain criterias that must be met.

I call them the 5 C’s

Creativity: Value your creative insights. Don’t lose ideas because you don’t have time to write them down…or they are lost in the pile of notes. Respect your ideas. Put them on the wall. Make them visible so you can take action on them. How? Record them on your storyboard.

Collaborate: Share your plans and action steps with people who can help. If you’re a solo entrepreneur, share storyboards with your family and friends. If you work with other people, share your storyboards with your team. One storyboard is the ticket to get everyone on the same page. Gather ideas, share expertise and get on one track to success.

Courage: It takes courage to believe in yourself and believe in your own project, innovation or business. A storyboard is the perfect tool to give you courage and conviction in achieveing your dreams. walt Disney used this process to go from brainstorm to the winning Disney World—what will you do?

Commitment: Commit your plans to paper. There’s nothing like writing down your ideas, vision and specific action steps. With Strategic storyboard, you can quickly spot how to solidify your commitment and stick to your plans. Edison quote on stick-to-it-iveness.

Confidence: Once you see your plans, purpose and process clearly outlined in a series of storyboard frames, your confidence grows by leaps and bounds. It’s easy to see that YES, you CAN accomplish what you set out to do. Yes, you can achieve your dreams and take your ideas from out of your head…all the way to cash in the bank.

With Strategic Storyboarding, you’ll find a creative system that’s easy to use, and quick to put into action. No boring screen-shots. No complex technology. Just practical, no-brainer productivity tools so you can get busy doing what you do best: enjoying the benefit of your winning idea.

Your idea deserves your respect.
