  3. Risk Aversion When was the last time you… …tried a new route home? …went to a new restaurant? …said hello to a stranger in an elevator? How many of you order the same thing every time you go to your favorite restaurant?

  4. Risk Aversion Risk aversion explains… …why all popular music sounds the same. …why all morning show sets look the same. (the window, the hooting audience, the jolly weatherman…) …why all talk shows look the same. (the desk, the format of standup and then interviews, the band) If it works, copy it!

  5. Risk Trying something truly NEW is the riskiest of all. The newer and riskier your business, the longer your business plan will need to be. There is no insurance policy for a new venture. (Insurance is paying now to reduce risk.)

  12. Margins • Simply: how profitable is your enterprise • Sales minus cost (COGS) • Ideally you take a commodity, add value and sell at a significant markup Video: Facebook generating revenue

  13. Revenue Model • How you charge your customers (or monetize your value) • Flat price, subscription, installation, add-ons, etc. • One-time vs. recurring • Razor/Blade, Printer/Cartridge

  14. Simplicity • Simple “value transactions” are preferred • Beware “house of cards” structure before value is created • Critical mass • Buy-in from multiple constituencies • Usually you can copy other good, simple business models Video: Kawasaki Model
