How Do You Go About Starting A Great Company?Ideally, your goal is to create the type of company that is almost impossible for your competitors to fully replicate. The thing is, though, that you cannot do that all by yourself. However, it all has to start with you, but at some point you will have to begin to rely on a team to help you achieve your vision. Ultimately, that team will end up being one of the most important factors in determining just how successful your new enterprise will be. While it is clearly important for any team to strive for the ultimate success of a business venture, there are far too many instances where even the best team fails to follow through on the company’s vision. Entrepreneurs routinely start out with great visions and expectations and then find that everything seems to unravel on them within just a few short years, if not earlier. The question is why? Why do even the most visionary entrepreneurs often find their best and brightest ideas failing to gain traction in the marketplace? In some unfortunate cases, successful and established companies took a sudden turn for the worst, and failed. Why do so many businesses fail so early? More importantly, what steps can you take now to ensure that you’re not just another one of those statistics? This book’s purpose is to answer that question and many more, while helping you develop a new way of approaching your own quest for business success. If there is one fact that is crystal clear, it is that your vision will be central to everything you do from this point forward. To succeed, you must start with a clear and coherent vision for your business, and you must be passionate about it. That vision, however, is not your mission. It is instead the ultimate goal that guides the strategic decision-making that you employ to reach your objectives. Do you have that vision yet? It’s fine if you don’t yet have that perfect clarity, as long as you know that you’re not fully there. Problems occur when people think that they have a vision, but later find out that they began without any real sense of the bigger picture. Too often, they discover much too late that what they had were short-term objectives and a sense of a mission, but no overriding vision to help them get to where they needed to be to achieve their ultimate goals. In other words, many entrepreneurs simply start out focusing on the wrong elements of the success equation, and then end up wondering why their plans fail. Start with your vision, and that will provide the destination that you are ultimately trying to reach. From there, you work on establishing initial objectives and goals that you want to achieve. Then you develop the winning strategies that can offer you the best opportunity to reach those goals. Subsequently, you learn to master the art of flawless execution of your winning strategies. Notice, if you will that none of the team members we mentioned earlier are even a consideration at this point in the process. There’s a good reason for that: you have to create the vision, mission, and short-term goals for your company before you even think about recruiting help. Those elements have to be firmly in your mind - or better yet, documented so that you have something to which you hold yourself accountable before you ever make that first critical hire. Only when you are done establishing your vision, mission, goals, and strategies can you actually begin to build a team. At that point, you have to find the type of competent people you believe to be most likely to buy into your business philosophy and mindset. You need people who are capable of being inspired by your exceptional leadership style and strategic vision, as that is the only way to ensure that they are in turn capable of helping you to create the type of business culture that your enterprise needs for success. That culture should motivate everyone in the company to consistently deliver their highest level of commitment and performance, and thereby contribute to the efforts to reach your business goals. Once you reach that point, you will have created a system that basically channels the mindset of its leader even when your attention is elsewhere. You will have designed a system for effectively cloning yourself. The key, though, is to ensure that the “you” that you’re cloning is the best “you” it can be! This book is designed to help you find that best part of you, so that you can begin to build a team with the type of unified vision and purpose needed to achieve true success.

Amazing work, shared via Twitter and of course backed on Kickstarter  Shame that the hardback only ships to the US!! So grabbed myself the ebook Your website https://fourpillarsofbusinesssuccess.com gives a good overview and I wish you the best success! Thank you very much for your support and confidence in us, batesresearch. Perhaps one day, we will see each other at a conference so that you get a signed hardback copy. |

I know I haven't been on the DNOTES thread for a while now but I am going to try to actually buy the paperback copy, best way to advertise it is to buy and read ti myself and do a video campaign as well. Things have been pretty tough for myself and my family but am trying hard to snap out of it, got the ruddy flu at present lol but am always impressed with DNOTES. Good morning, qiwoman2. It is always good to see you. I have been working on the book for a while but have been devoting most of my time on the book the last eight months. I am glad that I did it and trust that it is the best accomplishment of my life. I often look at things from a different prospective. I believe that the more I can be of help to others, the further that I can reach out to the most people with a positive impact, the more valuable my efforts become. That is where I get my inspiration to keep going. We all will continue to have many good days but they always come with few a few challenging ones. We must always aim for the best that we can do and align ourselves with those who share that same mindset. I hope that there will be a lot more good days on your way. With DNotes and the book, we are now in the best position to be truly purpose driven to positively impact the long struggle of many, perhaps one at a time. Many may not understand what we are doing but if DNotes were to be truly useful to the masses worldwide one day, there must be a medium to reach out to them some how. Having built a trusted brand, the book is our best medium to reach out to millions with consistent, inspiring, and compelling messages. It is a book that not only inspires entrepreneurs and their employees but also anyone who believes that mutual respect, cooperation, and collaboration are what it takes to have many more good days than challenging ones. That is the hallmark of success and happiness. |

This is a good report describing the state of our industry. None of the data and conclusions surprised me. As in any business, it always takes longer, has more problems, and cost more. My most common advice is: 1) Don't just jump in to be a "me too" 2) Learn all you can about the industry including its strengths, weakness, opportunities, and threats. (SWOT) 3) Identify others' mistakes and decide how you would do it differently. When is the most opportune time to do ... what you are working on. Trails and errors are very expensive and 60% of the time during the first five years of startups are crippling and fatal. The report centers on 1) Bitcoin (Currency/Payments), 2) Blockchain (Non-currency). and 3) Hybrid (both) Fair enough. Then DNotes is a Hybrid ... and a bit more. Have we confused you with DNotes Global, Inc, and the book yet? If you are don't worry, you are probably not alone. When things are done outside the box, it is harder to understand unless you follow us closely. If you read the book or at least read about the DNotes Story and the chapter summation of the book, you will get a much better idea. We absolutely believe that the only Killer App potential is the digital currency. Why "POTENTIAL"? By itself, it is not enough to make it a Killer App. It takes years and an enormous amount investment, branding, good will, and infrastructure to gain mass acceptance for it to become a KILLER APP. Well, meanwhile blockchain has been branded as a large offering of snake oils with blue sky potentials. However, at this time I can not use up each of my fingers to represent each use case that I would give my lunch money to invest. May be the bankers know a little more about the blockchain technology than I do. Remote, but possible. http://dcebrief.com/?s=DNotes+Story
https://fourpillarsofbusinesssuccess.com/ “Splitting industry observers is a key question – Are we just short distance (1-2 years) away from witnessing the radical, transformative effects of blockchain technology? Or is five to 10 years a more realistic timeframe before blockchain technology fully matures and achieves wide adoption?”
“As of Q1 2016, total venture capital investment in bitcoin and blockchain startups now exceeds $1.1bn."
"Perhaps more importantly, Q1 saw a sharp reversal in the multi-quarter downward investment trend, with both total investment and average deal size rebounding in the early months of the new year.”State of Blockchain Q1 2016: Blockchain Funding Overtakes BitcoinGarrick Hileman (@garrickhileman) | Published on May 11, 2016 at 15:15 BST CoinDesk’s Q1 2016 State of Blockchain report summarizes key trends, data and events from the first quarter of 2016.As blockchain hype begins to subside and entrepreneurs and organizations get down to the business of implementation and execution, a new debate has emerged over timing. Splitting industry observers is a key question – Are we just short distance (1-2 years) away from witnessing the radical, transformative effects of blockchain technology? Or is five to 10 years a more realistic timeframe before blockchain technology fully matures and achieves wide adoption? Nearly two-and-a-half years have now passed since Marc Andreessen penned a widely referencedNew York Times op-ed about how bitcoin reminded him of the Internet circa 1993. His forecast suggested that it would be only a few short years before the blockchain-equivalent of Web 1.0 world-beating companies like Cisco would emerge. In contrast, a string of voices, ranging from author and consultant Chris Skinner to financial institutions such as Morgan Stanley, have suggested that blockchain maturity and adoption is likely to take much longer than Andreessen's forecast. In other words (and to stay with the Internet analogy), the skeptics would say blockchain adoption is actually closer to 1970s-80s Internet time, when foundational protocols like TCP/IP were invented, rather early-1990s Internet time. Who's correct in this debate remains to be seen, but the stakes are incredibly high for an industry with over $1bn in venture capital investment. Amidst this backdrop, we review some key trends from the quarter that was: Venture bounce back As of Q1 2016, total venture capital investment in bitcoin and blockchain startups now exceeds $1.1bn. Perhaps more importantly, Q1 saw a sharp reversal in the multi-quarter downward investment trend, with both total investment and average deal size rebounding in the early months of the new year. .. the ongoing softening observed in overall venture investment. The strong investment interest that is being shown in blockchain tech is largely responsible for the industry bucking this trend. Investors go blockchain The major industry story for 2015 was the increasing focus on the underlying technology of the bitcoin currency, which is commonly referred to as blockchain or distributed ledger technology (DLT). This trend carried over into the first quarter of 2016 with a further increase in the number of traditional institutions that announced some form of blockchain initiative As we have noted, however, there is much confusion over the term "blockchain", and this confusion has led to frustration for both those new to the technology as well as amongst more fluent observers who will often see different terms used to express the same basic idea or principle.

We all can use a helping hand sometime: As we continue to strive for a better life, at times in frustration and a feeling of helplessness, let us agree on one simple truth: where you are right now matters far less than where you are going from here. There is little that can be done to regain missed opportunities or retroactively correct the mistakes made in the past. However, with an awareness of our shortcomings, willingness, and commitment to change, we can learn from history and the mistakes of the past. We can also gain deep knowledge and wisdom from others who have gone down the same path and beyond. This book honors those who have already achieved everything that they desire in life and in business, but is specifically written for those whose aspirations remain just beyond their grasp. I do not believe that long term business success is an accident or the result of good fortune. If you have already achieved great success, then you and your employees must have done many things right. I deeply respect you for your accomplishment. However, for those who have yet to achieve their objectives, including anyone whose business still has room for dramatic improvement, this book should prove thoughtful, insightful, and helpful. This is a book written specifically for startups, small business owners and their management teams (companies ranging in size from new startups to 500 employees), and can provide them with the help and guidance they need to gain the success for which they strive. If that sounds like you - if you’re passionate about what you are doing and desire nothing more than to obtain the type of business mastery that will help you be the true architect of your company’s success, then read on. Furthermore, since employees are one of the key pillars of business success, this book is also written with them in mind. They will find helpful information, meaningful insights, and inspiration; all of which can help them to become better employees with a deeper understanding and appreciation of what it will take for the business to succeed. As a result, they will have ample opportunities to contribute to the success of the business, thereby, making it easier for them to align themselves with the company's missions, goals, and objectives. Ultimately, this will help employees enjoy greater success in their career. Additionally, I have made a persuasive case to replace the much disliked traditional “Employee Performance Review” with “ Mutual Goals Review” that is significantly more rewarding and collaborative in promoting employees’ career advancement than the subjective grading of employee weaknesses. It serves the mutual interest of both the company and the employees with a unified purpose of fulfilling the company’s goals, missions, and the ultimate vision. I want you to take a moment and envision yourself either designing or redesigning your company. As you do so, imagine that you are creating a complete and functioning system with a multitude of subsystems and component parts. Now imagine that this system you’re creating is somehow disordered to the point where some of those components are not working properly, causing those subsystems to fail to work in harmony with one another. Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen, doesn’t it? Unfortunately, that lack of harmony and disordered component parts is a common feature of many new business enterprises. All too often, even the most energetic entrepreneurs fail to give enough attention to the finer details of the company’s design before they launch their business ventures. In order for that imagined system to operate as it should every component has to work as designed, in unison with every other component, each fulfilling its essential role within the various subsystems that make up the whole of your operation. They must be unified in purpose, efficient, and capable of performing at optimal levels on a consistent basis. When you have a company that can achieve those standards, then you have a company that can achieve almost any goal. Stay tuned for more .... Meanwhile, support my Kickstarter campaign and pledge as little as $5. Many small business owners are struggling and need help. Please join me in my quest to get the word out.

So... is he, or isn't he? The saga makes for interesting reading for the masses.  Satoshi Nakamoto Outs Himself As Craig Steven Wright"He knew he wanted nothing to do with that which he created – his Frankenstein – the minute Gavin visited the CIA. Not long before that, when WikiLeaks turned to Bitcoin after Visa and Mastercard shut off their account, he knew the “stampede” was coming. He knew that if he stuck around the questions would be unending and he might lose his freedom over it." https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/satoshi-nakamoto-craig-steven-wright/The author of the article is a good writer. I am withholding all other credits. It is not difficult to verify the truth, but consistently complicated, confusing, perhaps even mind draining to manufacture truth out of something else. |

Us IndiaMikeZulu guys are presently engaged in a discourse about cryptos' buy-sell splits*, which tell you a great deal about the general health of a coin. Time and again I've noted how tight Dnotes' always is. At this second: 1310-1277, 1299-1111, 1284-1192.
Mark (IndiaMikeZulu), Australia
*Tee hee: and I feel rotten 'cause I actually need to sell a teaspoon of NOTE, on C-CEX, to 'prime the pump.' Gotta organise some Bitcoin for the inbox!
DNotes has been holding quite steady for a while, which is a good thing. Mark, we know that you have been trying very hard to support DNotes. To trade; you buy and sell at times. So it's no problem. I am looking forward to the day when there is great liquidity for DNotes. Thank you all for your support in the mean time. |

Student debt crisis is not just an American problem. It is a global problem. I am deeply concerned and look forward to the day when DNotes can provide a positive impact.
Below is an interesting prospective from abroad, England.
Fighting crippling costs
Being a student is a lot harder than it used to be.
Back in the 1980s university was free for most people, and students were even given grants of up to £1,430 to cover their costs of living away from home.
Today most undergraduate students are saddled with debts to the tune of around £51,000 by the end of their courses.
For full-time students who can’t work, like medics or those on postgraduate courses, the cost of living is not matched by what they’re able to borrow.
It's in this dire landscape that short-term lenders like Wonga are making a killing, but Future Finance is trying to build more responsible long-term lending.
“The system is broken. Student financing is in a terrible state right now,” Future Finance CEO Brian Norton told The Memo.
“A decent student credit card will charge you around 20% interest. Short-term loans can rack up 50% or more APR, and Wonga can be over 1000%. It’s scandalous.”

The Memo, Tuesday 10 May 2016

That is a great start. The ability to verify credentials is important. What is also important is that students would get an early exposure to blockchain technology. |

I've been watching this spread and it's also showing up on a lot of other Twitter accounts under different wording. Nothing comes easy without a lot of hard work. Like everything else I have been involved in before I am very passionate about helping others to live a better live. This book is my best medium to positively reach out and impact the largest number of people. I appreciate all the help given to support this project thus far. The tweeter campaign has been quite impressive. |

Great story Thomas - I'm still trying to wrap my head around the magnitude of a 3rd web! Excellent article. Very interesting concept. |

Nice TeeGee! You are doing a great job. We need to reach as many people as we can in a very short time frame. Great job TeeGee. We need all the help we can get to spread the word. I have no doubt that the book will be of immense help to all aspiring entrepreneurs who have the chance to read the book. We seldom ask our community to step up and help. This is one of those exceptions because I sincerely believe that this book is meant for the better good of many struggling small business owners. Anything that you can do to get the word out or to contribute will go a long way to make DNotes a purposeful digital currency that is firmly committed to make a positive difference for as many people as possible. Supporting our Kickstarter campaign is very important and means a lot to me. Our goal is to raise $5,000 in 30 days. We are behind our target. So far we have 12 backers with a total pledge of $835 with 26 days remaining. Anyone with a credit card can pledge US$5 as a token of support, or US$18 for a first edition in PDF format, US$30 for one hard cover copy, includes shipping in US or US$32 for one paper bag copy, includes international shipping. Any pledge to support the campaign will be well appreciated. |

Great to see some forward thinking councils allowing new means of payment. It gives their citizens another way to use their crypto! "The Swiss town council of the small municipality of Zug, Switzerland made the decision on May 3rd, 2016 to accept Bitcoin payments for dues and public utilities as part of a trial run on cryptocurrency acceptance." https://news.bitcoin.com/swiss-town-accepts-bitcoin/That is a great start. A lot more local governments need to start doing that. |

I really wish I could have had Alan's book when I started my first business, it would have saved me immeasurable amounts of time and money instead of learning the hard way. There is a feeling among small business owners that they have to reinvent the wheel when what they really need to do is repave the road. The book lays that out nicely and shows you where to turn or, maintain the course.
There are so many choices to considered and decisions to be made when your at the helm of a business, no matter what the size, that any sage advise is welcome. And, unlike many of the books out there on the subject, Alan lived it, breathed and embraced it. No price can be put on the knowledge gained from actually doing it, it's universal.
Great job Alan!
"There is a feeling among small business owners that they have to reinvent the wheel when what they really need to do is repave the road."  So true! I think everyone should read this book. The principles apply to many aspects of everyday life, and if everyone applied some of them to their interactions with other people, projects they are working on, how they prioritize daily tasks, etc, there would be a lot more 'right' going on in their lives. The book is already on my best-seller list. Thanks, Chase. Indeed, many of the principles I mentioned in the book apply to many aspects of everyday life. If there is one more book you plan on reading I sincerely hope you will read this one. "Pick your co-founders and partners wisely. A winning team trumps a great business idea every time. Give high preference to someone you know well who shares your ideology and philosophy, and with whom you share great mutual trust and respect. There must be sufficient common ground to work together, but complementary skill-sets that can cover the deficiencies any one of you may be lacking. It is also important to have a high degree of mutual interest and a clear understanding that each of you will represent the other’s best interest at all times. Your success in working well as a team is not likely due to how compatible the team members are, but by how well each of you can mesh together and make even your incompatible traits somehow compatible and complementary." I know that many employers and their employees are struggling. That is what inspired me to write this book. With your help we will spread the word and make this book available to anyone who wants to read it. "My true passion is focused on helping small business owners and those who are considering the launch of their own businesses. I have been blessed with knowledge, experience, and a strong conviction that it is possible to improve your odds of succeeding in business. It requires being passionate about what you are doing, committed to learning all that you can, and willing to do everything it takes to succeed in your business endeavor. This book is designed to help you in that process. If you can harness those things, you will be on the right path - a path that will take you as far as you want to go. While none of this is an exact science that offers certainty, I do strongly believe that you can improve your chances of achieving business success." |

Excellent news to see the kickstarter up and running - with 6 pledges already! I've shared it on Facebook and in a couple of groups.
I might have an update on a video tomorrow - which I may make a couple of modifications to after receiving the first copy given a few of DNotes Global's advancements (including mentioning the name etc). Version 2 could serve as a great introduction to "DNotes Global".
Entering final 6 weeks of university, which is keeping me busy with my part-time job and small business. The book is immeasurably helpful and makes so much sense when one analyses what they want to be doing when comparing the short-term and long-term goals on the individual. It is very pleasurable to watch / be involved in a project from beginning to completion a long time later.
The cash crisis and speculative abandonment of the Euro is hardly surprising. When governments are not able to control their currency (which they never should anyway), it leaves fiscal policy (spending and taxes) as the only short term option to control their economic growth. This often has disastrous effects.

Thank you RJF. Very well said. There are many valuable and relevant lessons for everyone, even just reading a few chapters. And I would venture to say that you do not even have to have an interest in business to learn from the book. In effect, we are all an independent business by ourselves. Each of us is a subsystem interrelated to other subsystems within the sphere we operate. When all of our friends and family interact well as a whole system, we tend to do better. When there are issues, it affects every subsystem and weakens the whole system. Check it out. You may learn something very interesting from the book. |

Don't count on good luck alone.Lessons learned:Following in the footsteps of my siblings, I started my own construction business right after I graduated from high school. Being a greenhorn, Lady Luck must have smiled on me, as I won a contract to construct a large reservoir to supply water for a city and ended up making my first million. Unfortunately, that led me to think that being successful in business would always be that easy. It wasn’t. For the next fifteen years, I struggled with larger and larger projects with as many as 200 employees; getting a little better after each lesson learned. Trial and error is a very expensive process in business. Though I am doing well now, this book could have been of immense help to me earlier in life. It took me years to realize that great ideas, passion, hard work, and connections are not enough to succeed in business. The Four Pillars of Business Success is the most comprehensive and inspirational entrepreneur book ever published, and one that could have helped me avoid all the pitfalls and unnecessary mistakes that cost me so much time, money, and stress. This is a must-read book for any up and coming entrepreneur, and one that you’ll come to rely on in your own business endeavors. Alex Yong Source: https://fourpillarsofbusinesssuccess.com/
