Are you stuck at the same spot? The spot of making 0, squat, nile, nadda, nothing?
Allow me to explain to you a new way of thinking. The Square Business Theory...
The Square Business Theory states: " The best way to succeed in business is to be in business"
Reading that you are sitting there thinking " wow thanks genius" but here is the meaning behind the theory and why you are always stuck in the exact same spot
You start your business or you begin working on your idea. You are at the Red Square. You make your plan and you go with it and boom it does not start off too well. But during that time you learn a bit about this new industry you've gone into and you tweak your product into a Pink Square.
Slowly your business starts to make some decent progress in the right direction, slowly but surely. But after working with a bunch of clients, getting feedback, and learning from experience you tweak your product into a Pink Circle, when you started off you did not even think about the concept of the circle and your business starts growing.
You become more comfortable with your line of work and after some more learning and talking with your colleagues you tweak your product into the Blue Circle! You start seeing real success and are driven to keep going.
Now an expert in your industry you create the Green Triangle! You had no idea green triangles even existed when you started off back at the red square. Your business explodes and you become one of the best in your industry.
The Green Triangle does not necessarily have to represent the same business you started with at the Red Square. It can be an entirely new business in an entirely new industry. But you got there because of your start at the Red Square.
For example...
Quote:For example the Red Square can be you starting a computer repair shop out of your home. The pink can be you going into other peoples houses. Then finally the green square can potentially be you selling security software to every school computer in your city. It all starts because the Red Square. There is no way you would have predicted that during your pre-red square planning.
In order to succeed in business you can't just sit at the stage before the red square and try to plan the perfect route. Because before that red square you had no clue green triangles even existed. Imagine if you stayed at the stage before the Red Square...the planning stage thinking to yourself "I don't see this as being successful so I won't put it into action"
The sad reality is too many people will stay at that planning stage before the Red Square and never put ideas into action. Or even worse you quit at the Pink Square, when in reality you were so close!
There is a reason why people always say "take action" on these forums. This is why!
I absolutely like the way you made this thread though. You perfectly explained how things work, in a nutshell, you never know "better" and more "innovative" things exist before you actually give it a try. Congratulations on posting such HQ thread!

I feel I personally can connect to this topic. Because my first years of internet business/marketing I would spend so much time planning. It was not until I started taking action that one thing led to another... these were things I would have never been able to foresee in the planning stages.
Wow thanks for the insight, I found this really interesting.

We all can connect to it, atleast us who went through a lot before actually learning and putting things into action. Thanks once again for your contribution, fuck its awesome to read and actually see things from whole different prospective(in my case you brought me back to late 2008), wish I read a thread like this one back then.
Thank you for posting this. Personally, I cannot relate to this because I just take action on everything and never plan much which isn't always a good thing. People need to realize that things only get done if you take action and don't sit back or quit because it's a huge waste of time and in business we say, time is money.
Awesome thread my friend, you explained it very well and this is very true.

I know people who just take action on every idea they have. All but 1 are super successful.
I'm sat at the red square with so many different things, going back and forth between them and making no progress. Just reading this has given me the motivation to start tweaking these things and hopefully end up at the green triangle. This goes for a method of mine also, not just a business.
Nice post man!
Really simple and effective way of providing this knowledge to others.
Definitely a need to know thought process.

Nice post man!
Glad you liked it 👍
Once you get started you'll be at that Green Triangle in no time. No what it is. Business, Sports, School anything...

Very nice thread so the main idea is not to give up on the way .

It's also just go get started.
Even if you don't have the money, or are waiting for someone, or something just start. Don't waste time waiting for the stars to align perfectly. Because the sooner you get started the sooner you make your way to that green triangle 🙂
Thank you man, it will help me a lot :-)
as usual, very good explanation
