Finally, my manifesto is live on Changethis:

“Many entrepreneurs feel that they cannot start a business without a great idea. They believe it will be impossible to succeed without a completely new concept, as the market will already be cornered by established businesses. Only by venturing into uncharted territory can they achieve their dreams. This is the fallacy of the great idea”
Happy reading!
This is so true. I actually spoke with a careers consultant before working fulltime on MotleyHealth.com and he asked me:
“Are there any other people online doing this at the moment?”
I said, “of course there are, many”.
He replied: “Well, why do you think you will succeed then? I think that you should try to find something new and unique”
My answer was that I knew that I could do a better job than the others, provide a better service to my readers, provide higher quality content and improved support.
To succeed in business you just need a plan and buckloads of personal drive and self belief.
Google was not the first search engine, Amazon was not the first onlone book shop and Tesco was not the first supermarket – none of them let that stop them from being World leaders.
