The Goose Forum http://www.thegooseforum.com A monthly meeting of Internet Entrepreneurs Thu, 16 Apr 2009 08:32:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 en hourly 1 What is a Sprint? http://www.thegooseforum.com/2009/04/14/what-is-a-sprint/ http://www.thegooseforum.com/2009/04/14/what-is-a-sprint/#comments Tue, 14 Apr 2009 20:17:05 +0000 admin http://www.thegooseforum.com/?p=16 The Sprint events are a 40-hour marathon to move your business ideas online, and to generate an automated online income. They are designed specifically for business-minded individuals who have a unique business idea or skillset, and who are ready to take action. Our goal is to bypass the initial stumbling blocks and to help you build a winning momentum.

Moving from theory to action seems to be a stumbeling block for many who are interested in developing an automated online income. For some reason, ideas seem to flow a lot easier than implementation.

The Sprint events are an attempt to blow out the cobwebs help you move to action. They are a challenge. You and two team-mates have to:

  • Brainstorm 5 potential product ideas
  • Evaluate and select one for implementation
  • Build the product
  • Achieve at least one sale
  • All in 40 hours of effort

Sound unrealistic?  Well there have been 6 sprints at the time of writing this and they have all managed to have at least some sales.  This is your opportunity to understand what it really takes to make money online.
