<div class="bbWrapper">Guys, hello everyone! Perhaps everyone who starts a business thinks about various effective ways, is in search of interesting ideas and improvements (This issue concerns me so much). And I&#039;ll be glad to know what has helped you once to improve your business model?</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Hi <a href="https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/members/49817/" class="username" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" data-user-id="49817" data-username="@melissa_summers">@melissa_summers</a> Welcome to the forum. <br /> <br /> Another tool I have found useful is a Business Model Canvas. Google this and you will find many blank ones that you can fill out to work through an idea. It&#039;s a helpful tool at working your way through what value you are bringing to the market, who specifically your customers are, how they will find you and how you will make money.<br /> <br /> However, first and foremost read and comprehend the two books that form the foundation of this forum. They will be your guiding light.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Alright, I&#039;m going to be blunt: You are lazy (and probably unaware of what this forum is all about).<br /> <br /> This forum is all about business models, entrepreneur mindset and forward thinking and it already has <b>tons </b>of threads that will help you answer your question. The answer is not simple, it&#039;s not a straight answer to some pop quiz. I would advise you to stop thinking that, if you make a post with a question like this, people will start dedicating their time just to get the information to you. <b>You </b>have to do the research, and <b>you</b> have to seek others&#039; threads/posts that can be of help for getting to your answer.<br /> <br /> You may have come here to learn, but this is not the way to do it. If you want to find people&#039;s success stories and more about how they did it, just go read their <a href="https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/forums/progress-execution-threads.24/" class="link link--internal">progress thread</a>. And as <a href="https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/members/20502/" class="username" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" data-user-id="20502" data-username="@PureA">@PureA</a> suggested, go read The Fastlane Millionaire, it&#039;s more or less a required read. I know it&#039;s harder than simply making threads like this, but that&#039;s what you gotta do if you truly want to become an entrepreneur.<br /> <br /> Welcome to the forum.</div>

This strategy is great. It makes me focus more on the details of the future business and helps to determine the key points. And the most interesting is that I like it.</div>
