To celebrate my 500th post on the forum, I've created a small illustration for the CENTS framework:

I've got inspired by @Ismail941 flowcharts over here. Thanks!



Entry:
  • Your competition wants to do the same thing, but they can't - the barrier of entry is too high.
Control:
  • You are not using a platform, you ARE the platform. (insert Breaking Bad reference here :hilarious:)
Scale:
  • Create the product once, sell forever.
Need:
  • People are eager to buy what you're selling.
  • They recommend you to everyone, thus productocracy is achieved.
Time:
  • With or without you, the business keeps printing money.
  • You have the freedom to do anything you want.



Thanks @MJ DeMarco for creating this wonderful community.
I'm glad to be here.
