Don’t success until you fail twice (or three times)

Challenge

So my challenge could be quite basic. I have not a WOW project or an enterprise that will  revolute my field.

I’m a freelance, and few by few I’m getting some clients and now I’m in the point in deciding to  go to create an enterprise or stay as freelance.

To say the full story this is not my first enterprise, I already had one spin-off from my time in  the university, and after 5 years we fail. And we felt hard. Through a process of bankrupt,  going to the court and loosing too much money.

5 years later with a lot of work I’m getting to grow again, but this time I want to do it properly,  and taking a series of courses. Design thinking could help me to take this decision again.

Selection

So I’m using the model of design thinking to work on the decision. Using visual software, I will  use a mind map. There is a lot of literature on why mind-maps are great tools for thinking.  Mainly because it mimics the way that the brain works.

Application  So this is my preliminary mind map

Is not ready and will not be ready in a short time, as is a workable document, where I shoud  test all the stages, review the results, build prototypes and come back.

Insight

So if we zoom to the branch stay as it is we can see that some of the outcomes form the  process is what is called liquid laboral relationship, that is a broader concept saying that now

you are part on to an enterprise, then you leave for a time, later there is a project that you  work part time (the flip side of this is that the salary has to be higher to compensate the  periods that I’m not working there.

Approach

Again, as this is not a fancy product is difficult to define an approach, however the approach  will have to be adaptative to the projects that might appeart (don’t appear has to be worked in  sales, but let me simplify)

Depending on these projects I will have to develop one or other strategies, but this has to be  review on a monthly bases.

Organization

So process is ongoing and I will use part of the insights of the course (probably I have no wows)  but I have a clear path on how to do it.
