New Year’s Message: 1M/1M Call For Action

As we end 2010, I want to wish each of you a very happy 2011.

We have a come a long way this year with the 1M/1M initiative, and will continue to push forward in 2011, executing on our mission to help a million entrepreneurs reach a million dollars in annual revenue by 2020, establishing a framework for Capitalism 2.0. Here is my 2010 New Year’s Resolution that embarked us on this path.

In 2011, I want to set before you a very simple call to action: please help us promote the Free 1M/1M Strategy Roundtables for Entrepreneurs through syndication of our recap posts.

Those of you who want to lend a hand to 1M/1M can work with Maureen Kelly [maureen AT sramanamitra dot com] to help identify a website (blog, media property, entrepreneurship portal, social network, other variations of online media that helps us reach a core group of entrepreneurs in your local community) that has at least 3,000 members who are entrepreneurs or aspiring entrepreneurs, and then help put together a free syndication arrangement with the site, that would be an awesome way to broaden our footprint.

Today, we syndicate the weekly 1M/1M roundtable recap post to ReadWriteWeb (1.7 million readers), Yourstory.in (one of India’s largest entrepreneurship portal), and Venturewoods.org (another of India’s entrepreneurship-focused blogs).

In 2011, our goal is to broaden the syndication, and my request to you is to make this the top priority for your 1M/1M ambassadorship. It’s a simple, focused objective, and as we build up a large list of syndication partners, my belief is that we will spread the 1M/1M message far and wide.

I hope you will all join hands to contribute at least one syndicate partner each to 1M/1M.

My warmest greetings for a happy new year.

Sincerely,

Sramana
Founder, One Million by One Million

Roundtable Recap: December 16 – Top 10 Tech Trends To Watch

We started this week’s roundtable with a discussion of the top 10 tech trends to watch for the upcoming decade. The trends include Cloud Computing, Outsourcing, Social Web, Vertical and Local Web, Smartphones and Tablets, Online Advertising, Online Video, Online Gaming, eBooks, and Bootstrapped Entrepreneurship. You can find details in the blog post on https://sramanamitra.com.

As for the entrepreneur pitches, first up today was Bhupendra Kanal with InRev, a social CRM analytics company. Bhupendra has built a product and has started engaging a few customers. He is, however, playing in an extremely, extremely crowded space. Bhupendra’s questions were largely around competition. My key advice to him was to focus on acquiring customers, and getting a thorough positioning exercise done based on segmentation, competitive analysis, and market sizing to identify a segment where competition is less active, and the product is particularly effective.
