Evaluating Business Models

Groupon’s reevaluation of going public has many professionals wondering if that could spell doom for other internet-based businesses.  Rita McGrath, whom was of the opinion that Groupon would fail, wrote a stimulating article on how Groupon’s troubles should not be grouped in with all internet-based models.  Rita broke down how another internet-based business model, Angie’ List, compared to Groupon’s thru the use of a seven point scale to base models.  On this episode of TPN Finance, I illustrate how businesses can utilize the scale by showing how Angie’s list business model fits into the scale.

The Fear of Networking

Networking is such a important topic for CEOs and Business leaders but there is always a fear associated with it.  Dorie Clark wrote in her article, The Fear that’s Holding Back Your Business,

“Giving in to your fears means you’re leaving money and opportunity on the table, and possibly alienating your biggest allies.”

The only way for a business to prosper by building allies; networking is the means by which you gain those allies.  I visit with Tyler Pyburn, host at the Pulse Network, some of the issues surrounding networking and also divulge some tips for how to get over the fear.
