The secret business plot formula

“Super Shadow” (dot com)
This was a site that operated for several years by a bloke (or several blokes) pretending to be a guy with direct access to George Lucas, and having inside knowledge of all-things Star Wars.
I used to read it every day for entertainment.
And oh how I enjoyed it.
In fact, I still use the wayback machine site to read it for kicks, and examples of how to rile people up for engagement.
Anyway, some of the site’s highlights included:
* A picture of Super Shadow’s girlfriend
* The plot to episodes 7 and beyond
* Princess Lea bikini photos
* Interviews with George Lucas — which was some of the finest infotainment I think I’ve ever seen anywhere, as SS made Lucas out to be a greedy billionaire with no neck, bullying fans into spending more money on Star Wars merchandise and tickets to line his pockets as he dated super models and drove sports cars…
* And, best of all, the infamous Star Wars plot formula
Despite the satirical nature of the site, I found the Star Wars plot formula Super Shadow had to be not only extremely accurate and detailed… but also extremely helpful later on in business, too.
Here’s what I mean:
The Star Wars plot formula is what made Star Wars tick.
And it was surprisingly accurate & detailed. Which is probably why the original trilogy and prequel trilogy did so well, and are beloved — warts and all — while the idiotic sequel trilogy with its idiotic random “subvert audience expectations!” shtick made billions less than what was projected, and is something Disney is already trying to retcon in a number of ways. In fact, whenever movies stray from a proven formula they tend to not only do way worse at the box office, but anger fans, and do nothing but waste sometimes years of time and emotional investment in the stories.
I have found this to be the same in business, too.
This could just be my case, admittedly.
But whenever I’ve created a business plan and business model that works, then strayed from it, tried to get cute & creative with it, or outright betray it… my own box office gross has always suffered.
And it’s no different with the principles I run my business with now.
The more I stick with it, the more my business grows.
The less I stick to it, the more my business shrinks.
Which brings me to my 10-Minute Workday program sold by AWAI.
It's not something I fully practice today (I work 10 hour days, not 10 minute days).
But I do follow the structure of what's in the program today because it's always worked for me, and had the proverbial one email workday for many years until greater ambitions sprung forth from the sheer boredom of living such a lifestyle.
There is no sales letter to send you to, though.
But if you hop on the waiting list you will get via PDF:
“The One Minute Business Plan”
Nary a writer I’ve ever met talks about business plans, much less has one.
But I believe this short, easy to read report can help anyone interested in having a business, and not being just a mere “writer”, be more successful & get started off right.
