Group game and lesson

[pendelton]

I am thinking of starting an game/lesson for everyone on creating a business plan. We will go through all the steps, giving each person a chance to learn, and, a chance to teach.

If you are interested that first thing we need to do is choose an item that we are going to sell. I have never liked the idea of using a fake item for this activity, since it gives no real world examples to draw on. The difference is making a business plan look good and making a business plan that is good.

Post your product here for what you would be interested in seeing a business plan for. When we have enough ideas, 5 to 10, we will examine each item and have a poll for the group to choose which one.

I'll post the idea of selling business plans online.

1, 2, 4, and 5 can be in one business, so shall we go with those?

Can we add educational sites as you've mentioned in This Thread? (http://www.businessadviceforum.com/showthread.php?t=668&page=3)

As your sig says, "NOW is the time to start business". Ok pendelton, let's get in on.

I think it is a good idea, since there will be a demand for them.

What kind of name shall we give this, something witty? Something serious?

Since it's an online education business, how about naming it as a domain like youreducation.biz, educationmatters.net, myeducation.org, planmyeducation.biz, etc?

After the name of this business is settled, we can then start on developing the business plan :)

Hmm... Well, the name that you would give this, should also, obviously be reflected in the domain name, but first you will need to establish what online education business you will be focusing in. You will be providing education on what? After you decide what you'll be providing education on if you decide on an online education site, then you can give it a more accurate name for the business as well as a good domain.

The domains mentioned above are not bad, but they seem to be focused on education in general...but that's not what you want. Again, you need to find a more specific kind of education you'll be providing and then choose the name and domain name, those come after.
