Sketching twelve business ideas

Posted: Jan 3, 2013 - Modified: Mar 12, 2014| business, entrepreneurship, planning, plans

In Running Lean, Ash Maurya recommends that you document your “Plan A”s – sketch out many possible businesses and business models so that you can rank them. I spent some time on January 1 sketching different business ideas, which I’ve shared on my experiment blog. Here they are as a quick gallery.

2013-01-01 lean canvasses - delegation coaching

2013-01-01 lean canvasses - technical writing

2013-01-01 lean canvasses - visual book reviews

2013-01-01 lean canvasses - self-tracking tools

2013-01-01 lean canvasses - social intranet community-building

2013-01-01 lean canvasses - business consultant

2013-01-01 lean canvasses - visual communication coaching

2013-01-01 lean canvasses - presentation design

2013-01-01 lean canvasses - hand-drawn stock images and illustration

2013-01-01 lean canvasses - digital conference and event sketchnotes

2013-01-01 lean canvasses - content marketing for conferences and events

I’m planning to print these out, prioritize them, and figure out how to derisk the most promising ones. Do any of them stand out to you as particularly interesting?

See my sketchnotes of Running Lean for more tips from the book, or check out my experiment/business blog for other business-related thoughts.
