Here’s a tip I just love. I call it “Analogy your way to a new business.”
Okay, so maybe it doesn’t roll off the tongue, but I think you’ll Iike it anyway.
Everyone loves eBay.
Everyone knows what eBay does: sells stuff via auction via the Internet.
Everything from baseball cards, to Boxsters.
You’re probably wondering, “There’s no way I can compete with eBay.”
And you’d be right.
Amazon tried.
Yahoo tried.
Other companies you’ve never heard of have tried (and probably died.)
Now, I get an email today from a company called LabX.
What do they do?
“LabX is an online auction and classified ad marketplace for scientific and hi-tech equipment. Think eBay for scientists and engineers (business to business),” according to General Manager Ken Piech.
In other words, LabX took a very successful business model. But instead of battling head to head in the wonderful world of Madonna memorabilia, they found a niche and found success.
This is a great formula for success that you can use to your benefit. Let me know when you do!

Hi Dan,
You have such great comments/ideas. As a professional organizer and wanting to specialize in small businesses – but wanting to stand out – I thought – Think Martha Stewart for the office.
What do you think?!!
