We accept credit card or debit card payment and you can set your payment to the day of the month you’d like.

Why do we require a full year commitment? Because starting your own business is a scary-as-heck roller coaster ride and we’re bricking up the “chicken exits.”  You’re on this ride, baby, and we need to know that you’re totally committed.

We know from past experience that launching a micro-biz on month-to-month payments doesn’t work. Instinctively, you already know this: when you're totally committed, that's when the magic kicks in.

Here’s the Legal B.S. about Biz Fu Coaching.

If you're wondering how I choose your Biz Fu Master coaches, here's what I'm looking for:

• 1

  Tons of micro-business experience. I prefer that coaches have more failures than successes. One lucky homerun doesn't teach an m-bizzer much. I  want to know that they've spent beaucoup time in the School of Hard Knocks.

• 2

  Still in the micro-biz game. I look for people who have micro-businesses going right now. I don't want full-time coaches. I want part-timers who're working their own micro-business while serving as a coach.

• 3

  Phenomenal life coaching skills. At first, it seems like we're working on a person's business. Pretty quick, it becomes obvious we're also working on a person's life skills. Don't worry about it. You'll see what I mean. I pick only the best-of-the-best life coaches, each one with loads of experience and talent.

• 4

  Looking for coaching themselves. I'm still getting micro-biz coaching (from wherever I can get it) and so are the Biz Fu coaches. Looking for solid feedback is a life-long commitment for this team.

What I'm NOT looking for when I choose a Biz Fu Master coach:

• 1

  Business schooling. A degree in business is great and an MBA is impressive, I've just never seen it correlate to business success. I prefer folks who have lots and lots of on-the-ground experience.

• 2

  Business successes. Some have 'em and some don't. I'm more interested in how many instructive failures each coach has experienced -- and are they still coming back for more after the sting of defeat?

• 3

  Know-it-alls. Here at Micro-business Fanatic, we're an opinionated bunch. I know I certainly am. But the Number One opinion I'm looking for in myself and in our coaches is this whopper: "Whatever I think I know now, it's probably gonna change sometimes soon." So, feel free to educate your coach (or me) if we get out into left field.

The Biz Fu Path is all about FAILURE.  That’s right.  We fail faster. 

Success will come so long as you’re racking up piles of magnificent mishaps.  But you don’t need to commit all of your goofs personally.  You can let other people screw up for you.

If you’re going to delegate some of your painful and expensive blunders to other folks, it’ll take a few key components:

• 1

  Other people doing the same thing. You need other people who’re doing stuff like the stuff you’re doing. Then, you can watch them screw the pooch and it’ll at least be interesting to you.

• 2

  People who’ll talk about their f-ups. Most people shout their successes from the rooftops and they go eerily quite when they choke. You need people who’ll cop to their fubars and tell you about them honestly.

• 3

  Other businesspeople who aren’t worried about you becoming their competition.  Most bizzers clam up when they think someone is going to steal their holy idea.

• 4

  A way to talk to screwups like you. Being willing to fess up isn’t the same as doing it. You need a forum – like an AA group of micro-bizzers confessing their boners.  “Hi.  I’m Jayson and I’m a wanker.  It’s been three months since my last snafu.”

Nobody ever does that. Imagine the Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary Club sitting around sharing their wipeouts.  Not a chance.  They drink a lot of alcohol instead.

But, what if you could get the monster hook-up with a bunch of Biz Fu Practitioners who were happy to share their defeats and their triumphs? That would be epic. And, that's your Biz Fu Tribe.  You join a group of businesspeople, spread across the nation, agreeing to share the results of their business experiments with their Tribe.

Failing faster while making lifelong friends. Gulping down common sense like an Irishman guzzling his Guinness. Taking shameless advantage of other peoples’ misfortune.

It’s the Biz Fu Way.

When you start a micro-biz, you step into an epic battle between good and evil.

On the one hand, the dark forces of the Cult of Entrepreneurialism are amassed, babbling pure nonsense about business.  They would have you waste your time and energy prancing about in a pageant of phony business rather than making money.

On the other hand, the practitioners of Biz Fu speak nature’s truth. Business is a simple art:

1. Create value.

2. Get paid for it.

All drama aside, the “information” out there about starting a business is 95% heinous garbage.  Never in my life have I seen so much BS masquerading as fact as I have in the world of entrepreneurialism.  It really is like a cult.

Nearly, every business forum, blog, college class and a large majority of business books preach blatant disinformation.  And the Small Business Administration. . . Oh Lord. The SBA is the worst of them all. Click here for a stack of examples.

I wish I had a good explanation for it.  All I can guess is that:

• Businesspeople want to make it sound hard so they seem like bigshots, and
• Most teachers and writers have very limited, if any, actual micro-business experience.

Truly successful entrepreneurs rarely come back to teach the truth.  They’re drinking Mai Tais on a beach somewhere.  We’re left with the wannabe flunkies; blogging, posting, teaching and working for the SBA.  I suppose that makes sense when you think about it. (That makes it possible that I'm a wannabe flunky, I realize. Maybe so. . .)

Let’s not forget.  This is no game.  This is about scoring way more money than you ever thought possible.

One of my coaches or I would love to rap with you about business. If you have a business already going or you're just chewing on the idea, let's talk and see if we'd be a good fit for where you're at.

Keep in mind, we don't think you need much to get going in business. So don't wait to call until you have a business plan or even a business idea.  Most of that stuff is junk anyway.  We think you can blow right past most of the "prerequisites" that the experts say you need.

We can give you about 20 minutes gratis.  By then, we'll both know what's up.

What’s it called when a bunch of people come together and all get behind something totally insane?  It's called "a cult.”

I don’t really believe that all those bloggers, teachers and business experts belong to a cult.  I’m mostly just kidding.  Mostly.

But how in the name of all that’s holy did they come up with some of this nonsense? 

Who was the wacko who concocted the business plan? I’ve seen over a hundred successful micro-businesses from the inside and I’ve seen hundreds of business plans and there is a 100% negative correlation between the two.

That means that I’ve never seen a micro-business WITH a business plan succeed and I’ve never seen a successful micro-business WITH a business plan.  I’m sure they’re out there, I’ve just never seen one. 

It’s utterly ridiculous, in my mind, to think that you can start a new business and have any clue what’s going to work and what’s not. That shizzle takes trial and error and you can’t plan the outcome of trial and error (or it’s not “trial and error.”) Plus, while starting a business you run across so many amazing opportunities that your business never turns out anything like you planned.  So, why plan?

The business plan is just one chunk of a giant, cardboard Trojan Horse of faux-business nonsense that lumbers around scaring people away who might’ve otherwise been great entrepreneurs.

I’m in rebellion against the Cult.  I’m taking it down.  Wanna join me?
