Starting a company is exciting. Developing it is more challenging because of the many issues
and obstacles you have to overcome. But, you will overcome them if you see obstacles as a
learning experience rather than a crippling problem.
if you are committed to being successful and willing to focus on the important things, you can’t
be stopped because you will be learning every day. Think like Thomas Edison who said every
experiment that didn’t work put him one step closer to success.
42 percent of startups fail because they cannot achieve product-market fit. We agree. Your
Initial focus has to be on Product-Market Fit. Here are a few examples of what you will learn in
this section so you can quickly get to product-market fit.
Learn how to determine if your problem is painful enough that the prospect will pay -and how
much — to get it solved. You will be surprised at how to get facts rather than useless opinions.
You will learn different ways to diagnose the problem, use creative problem solving and design
thinking techniques to get insights into the solution. Then, how you can create a strategy to
reach your goal with enough differentiation to set you apart from your competitors.
You will learn how to create a core story enabling you to tell your company’s story in under a
minute. Then, develop it into a powerful sales messaging story that gets sales leads and
converts them into buyers.
You will learn how to creatively design a business model that will give you the ability to focus on
your strengths and a cohesive plan of action.
Plus more. And If you have special questions, you can email us and get an answer.
The second biggest reason for failure — 29 percent — is “running out of funds.” That’s why
getting to product-market fit quickly is critical. Now you have to turn those early adopter
revenues into the more skeptical and much bigger mainstream market revenues.
Now you have to focus on sales messaging in every appropriate media you can. But that
doesn’t mean putting call-to-action (CTA) every few paragraphs. You also have to build trust
with your audience so you have to learn how to frame your company as a company that wants
to help them. Then, nurture them down your sales funnel until they are ready to buy.
At the same time, learn how to communicate with all the tools like your website, outgoing
communications like direct mail and ads, incoming tools like content marketing, and lead
generation for your sales force.
And don’t forget presentations. You will also learn how to create, prepare and deliver
presentations that turn skeptics into believers — starting from the first 30 seconds to how to
answer the all-important questions at the end of the presentation.
Not everyone needs or wants outside funding but if you will need it because of costly
development or to eventually scale the company, you have to start becoming investment-ready
very early in your development.
Here you will learn the different sources of funding available and the information you will need to
explain your opportunity to investors. This process takes time and requires proof of your deep
understanding of the company and the opportunity
This also requires identifying and developing potential investors along the way. There is a lot
more to this process than a one-page brief or a business plan. You will learn what to put into the
process and plan and what not to include.

I’ve been working with Harbor Capital for a few years now. Jim has been able to help me work through and rationalize multiple ideas both as new company structures but also as new product offerings. One of the best things he helped us with was actually knowing what ideas not to pursue so we could focus on more viable alternatives. Additionally, his background in venture capital helped me understand how to evaluate potential VC funding avenues and develop an exit strategy from my startup.”
I initially met Jim Zitek three years ago. He advised me and I went on to launch my medical company which I successfully grew to $1.2 million dollars a year. Then I contacted him again about scaling the company. Jim is a very clear and calm thinker. He is like a Navy seal sitting calmly next to kids on a roller coaster. I recommend him to anyone who has a lot of ideas and needs a focusing funnel.
In the almost twenty years I have known Jim Zitek, I have always been impressed with his depth of knowledge. He is one of the rare individuals who combines a practical analytical mind with an understanding of the factors influencing the future. I have learned to admire his character and appreciate his values which are at the core of his beliefs and actions.
