Noua oameni, pentru programul alternativ de MBA realizat de Seth Godin, au trebuit sa vina cu 999 de idei de afaceri. Conceptul de baza? Idei se gasesc o groaza, banii insa vin din cum executi si cum dezvolti ideea. Conteaza oamenii cu care vei alege sa lucrezi, strategia pentru clienti, modul de prezentare si marketing, modul in care iti cresti brand-ul personal si modul in care incurajezi oamenii cu care lucrezi sa faca asta. Ca la sah. Poti sa incepi chiar si pe picior de egalitate, pana la finalul jocului situatia se schimba in functie de executie. Din cele 999 idei, am listat mai jos cele interesante si aplicabile si la noi.

117. iPhone app that is specifically for ski maps.  Shows number of runs made and has lots of cool interactive features.  Even shows which runs are groomed.  Every ski resort would need their own app.  Probably provide the app for free and the ski resort pays an arm and a leg for being featured in the app.
