Two visual thinkers walk into a bar...

When the Fox Business Network asked me to join them for a visual thinking session, I was surprised by the address: the Bull and Bear Bar at NY's Waldorf Astoria. It turns out that's where hosts Rebecca Gomez and Cody Willard hold court for the network's "Happy Hour" segment.

So when Rebecca asked me about back of the napkin business sketches, I felt right at home. After all, isn't the bar where all the really good business ideas were hatched? (or hammered...?)

Hi HAS,

Thanks for asking, but I don't have a simple flowchart of starting a small business. Not that it couldn't be created; I've just never done it myself. Good project for somebody, though!

Hi,
I see that you have given models of existing company, or grown up companies in this video. Well the Triangle gave some sample of how startup companies did initally. But those are V.old days.

Now starting even a Small scale business is a big challenge with all the procedures with govt. and other stuff. Do you have any simple diagram that will act like a flow model for any small scale business to startup with ?

That's an excellent illustration of your book's principles Dan. I've enjoyed the book immensely with my work in ministry as a church pastor. Very cool!!!

Continued success to you.
