Now I want to show you exactly what to do. My 200 PAGE BOOK will describe a novel and far better approach to finding and perfecting new business ideas. It will carefully explain easy steps you can take RIGHT NOW that will radically improve your future, by turning new business ideas into profitable, enjoyable, and financeable companies!

I promise that when you read "The Balanced Entrepreneur", you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about. My book first illustrates how to derive a stream of ideas, far more than you could ever follow through on. After that, I provide step-by-step instructions on how to avoid painful and costly mistakes and instead, find and mold a new business idea that fulfills your dreams.


Your Path from New Business Idea to Financing, Freedom, Fun, and Fortune

Finding My Idea
  • How do I make sure I love my life as "the boss"?
  • How do I find a business idea?
Perfecting My Idea
  • How do I avoid low profit, high risk ideas?
  • What three tactics will help guarantee that my idea will increase my freedom and wealth?
  • Which marketing tactics will increase my free time and decrease my startup costs?
Launching My Company
  • How do I configure my company so that it systematically increases my flexibilty and fun?
  • How can I most easily get financing?
  • How do I decrease or even eliminate my need for financing?
  • Where do I start? How do I turn my idea into my company

BUT WHAT DOES SUCCESS MEAN? Success doesn't just mean riches! Success is a business that leads to high profits AND a great life! The ten "Balanced Entrepreneur" strategies in my book are likely to generate:



Imagine how your life would change if you had all the money you needed (and some extra in your pocket) and could buy what you want, be it the sports car you’ve lusted after, or the sailboat you dreamed about.

Imagine loving going to work and feeling more and more satisfied as the day progresses.

Imagine returning home early to share a great dinner with the family, as you all discuss and collectively visualize the dream vacation you’re taking next month.

"...Dr. Simon's strategies let me do what I love all while working less than 40 hours a week." - Jitesh Singh
Bridge to life President

Imagine getting results like these:

“I spent over a year trying to find a new business idea but was never confident I had the right concept! Then I started applying Dr. Simon’s ten strategies to find and perfect ideas. They allowed me to start a business with almost no investment while making a substantial profit my very first week. More importantly, Dr. Simon's strategies let me do what I love all while working less than 40 hours a week. I wouldn’t have believed it. Anybody with a new business idea, or looking for one, needs to read this book.”

Sincerely,

Jitesh Singh
President, Bridge to Life

instead of it owning you

A New and Different Approach for Finding New Business Ideas and Planning for a Better Entrepreneurial Lifestyle!


I didn’t want to write a book that’s already been written. Instead, I wrote one based on strategies I know work. The strategies stem from solid research and the great personal results that I and the hundreds of people I coached have experienced. I've taught these strategies to business people, as well as to undergraduates and graduates at my and other universities. The upshot is a book that is truly different from any "system" or other book out there in four ways.



Many books on business planning focus solely on increasing your new business idea's potential profitability. They don't explore strategies that will also allow you to build a business that decreases your need for start-up finances, while resulting in more free time, fewer hours worked, less stress, greater enjoyment AND more money. I didn’t just set out to teach you how to start any business. My mission is much greater than that. I want you to be confident that you have an idea that leads to a PROFITABLE BUSINESS and an ENJOYABLE LIFESTYLE! That is true venture success!

I know many people with profitable businesses, but their families never see them. They're always traveling, on the road living in a hotel, and working 14 hours a day – every day including weekends. In response, I developed strategies that lead to real venture success:



Importantly, the new "Balanced Entrepreneur" method of startup planning involves shaping your business idea at the outset, so that it meets your needs! Your initial idea, and how you begin pursuing it, impacts the business for years to come. Imagine baking a cake. You add salt when the recipe demands sugar, use sour cream when it calls for milk, and put in lard when butter is required. Starting with the wrong ingredients is almost impossible to overcome. Your cake is destined to be a culinary disaster. Just like cooks must begin with the right ingredients to end up with a scrumptious cake, entrepreneurs must start with ideas that have certain characteristics in order to build a business that leads to an enjoyable business life and profits! It's that simple.


I am not making over-the-top claims. I cannot teach an automatic "system" which allows you to start a business which makes you rich by week one, costs nothing to start and that requires that you almost never have to work! If that is what you are looking for, you need to visit some other site!

I do, however, provide reasonable, well researched strategies that help you generate a business idea that you will, and should, have confidence in! The strategies radically increase the probability that you will end up with a great business … strategies that can lead to a better life than you ever believed was possible.



I, like some other authors, have extensive experience starting my own companies and helping other entrepreneurs start theirs. But are we really the best ones to objectively assess our own results? No! I take the final step. I use my Ph.D in Entrepreneurship to make sure that the effectiveness of all my strategies are tested and confirmed by unbiased world-renowned business researchers. This increases the likelihood the strategies will generate your ideal lifestyle.

"Finally, a book that combines real world experience with solid research findings … all potential entrepreneurs need to read this." - Dr. Rodney Shrader, Ph.D.
Professor of Entrepreneurship

Here's what Dr. Rodney Shrader has to say:

"Finally, a book that combines real world experience with solid research findings to show entrepreneurs how to build the venture they want. Too many authors rely on just their experiences and hope others will get similar results. Dr. Simon makes sure his ideas have been proven. Before starting their venture all potential entrepreneurs need to read this book to increase their chances to have the life they deserve!"

Sincerely,

Dr. Rodney Shrader, Ph.D.

Professor of Entrepreneurship


Some books teach a system for conducting one specific type of activity, such as a real-estate investing, multilevel sales, or day trading, claiming the system will lead to wealth and a great life. But the system approach ignores important considerations. You may be poor at negotiation, which is the most important skill required for real estate investment; you might be uncomfortable with the risk associated with day trading; or you could hate the pushiness needed to succeed in multilevel sales.

So you tell me: will using a predefined system, which assumes that everyone is identical, lead to a great life?

Instead, I've developed principles and strategies that can be applied to your constraints, your goals, your skills, your passions and your dreams! Doesn't that sound like a better approach? If you are still not convinced that anyone can apply my strategies, read the testimonial below.

"Even though I was just an undergraduate, I helped our student club generate five figures of pure profit in less than two months!" - Christin Lee
Former Vice President of Finance
Students in Free Enterprise

"I was in charge of finances for a college club. I wanted the club to make three thousand dollars a year to spend on trips and other activities. I thought starting and running a real business would be great. But what idea could I implement, given my limited real world experience, shortage of free time, and lack of money to invest?

Using Dr. Simon’s strategies, I found the right product and helped convince dozens of Walgreens stores to carry it. Even though I was just an undergraduate student, I helped the club generate five figures of pure profit in less than two months.

Importantly, other people in the organization also successfully applied Dr. Simon's principles. Thanks to Dr. Simon's strategies, another year, under different student leadership, the club raised over $250,000 in less than 9 months. Not bad for a student club!"

Sincerely,

Christin Lee

Why believe I can help you find and/or perfect a business idea you can be confident in?


After all, aren't I out to make money? Absolutely, and I hope you are too. But I make a profit (and build a great life) using the methods I recommend in my book; by delivering unique products that have tremendous value and really fulfill people's needs. And my unique background helps me do just that. The strategies I've developed for finding and improving new business ideas stem from decades of experience founding my own ventures, coaching hundreds of budding entrepreneurs, AND researching thousands of articles and books on entrepreneurship.

My entrepreneurial experiences generated powerful insights that only "living a venture" can provide. My immediate family and I have founded ten start-ups between us -- every one of which has been successful. These ranged from my wilderness canoe trip business to charitable foundations, to importing gift and decorative accessories from South America, to a venture capital funded high technology startup. I know my strategies work, because I've used them. Plus, I've tested them with hundreds of clients and university entrepreneurship students.


Dr. Simon has taught his strategies
     to well over 1,000 students and
     clients.

This would have been enough evidence to convince most people that I know strategies that can lead to great business ideas and a great life. But I wanted to be 100% sure, so I earned a Ph.D. in Entrepreneurship from Georgia State University. This guaranteed that each and every one of my strategic recommendations was based upon my review of thousands of scientific studies, conducted by myself and by others. The studies used some of the most advanced research techniques available. The findings were accepted in the most prestigious outlets, but only after a panel of impartial experts reviewed, scrutinized, and dissected each study.

According to a list provided by the Financial Times, my own research has been published in the top academic journals in management and entrepreneurship. More importantly, though, is the recognition that my research can improve the lives of up-and-coming entrepreneurs, like you. Wharton Leadership Digest, for example, published a lead article explaining one of my academic studies to practioners so they could obtain the full benefit of my ideas. Similarly, Entrepreneur Magazine, the world’s most popular entrepreneurship periodical, ran a column devoted to some of my studies. It used the following words to describe my findings:

"the best new academic research...
strategies you can use today." - Entrepreneur Magazine

Finally, you should believe I can help you because you have much to gain, and nothing to lose. My products come with a 100% guarantee. If within 60 days, you decide you are not fully satisfied, just send an e-mail to DrSimon@TheBalancedEntrepreneur.com, and you'll automatically receive a refund with no questions asked.
