Creation Stage

Perhaps the most critical stage of developing any business venture is the creation of the ideas and/or concepts upon which the venture is to be based. Without a viable product or service all other efforts from this point forward will be futile. It is this point of the developmental process that will 'dictate' the strategies and direction of all other future efforts!

Innovation or creative energy can make you a shining shine and a tidy profit. whether it is a new product, new marketing tactic, new niche or something other!

Application Stage

Applying your innovations or creations takes another type of energy which involves more patience and diligence. Although not the flamboyance of the previous 'creative genius' stage this energy takes your idea and builds it into something that can deliver you financial security and online success.

Creativity is great and obviously required but until it is applied it is merely a dream. The actual application is what turns your ideas into a reality and what can actually make you money. At this point you are now bringing together your product idea(s) and blending them with your marketing strategies. Here is where you begin to enact your plan and make your creations available to the marketplace.

Refinement Stage

This stage of the business building process is ongoing as alterations will need to be make to adjust to changing demands and the marketplace in general. Refinements will likely need to be made to not only your marketing strategy but also quite possibly to your original creation (product) itself. This is a very natural and expected part of the 'evolution' of your business venture and what will make it grow stronger. You are merely adapting to the changing environment!
