Think, Start, Sell and Do NOW: Recent Episodes
Jim and TJ
When implementing idea, projects, or products, it's been to think big about it, but start small with something you can manage and then sell or do it NOW.
Get it going on a small scale so you can hopefully reach that BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) in the future. Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/oldwell/support

In this episode, I discuss my experience with a company I founded back in 2008 - MotionGen. Unfortunately at the time, I had not heard of the concept of Think Big, Start Small and Sell or Do Now. My co-Founder Daniel Salazar and I were coached into "Starting Big" and not "Starting Small". Unfortunately, Jim Kitchen (http://jimkitchen.org/about-jim/) coached us too late and we should have "hit the home run" and not waited to try and "hit the grand slam". We lost our initial client which would have been the foundation for a great company, but since we failed to lock them in, the company failed (with little investment at least).
I also discuss my experience working with Greenfire Development and Greenfire International (with some great Weekend 2004 EMBA alums - Michael Lemansky (https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaellemanski/) and Steve Mangano (https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevemangano/). GO HEELS!!!

This episode is the first of many for Think, Start, and Sell and DO Now with Jim and TJ.
This episode provided an overview of the show and also a discussion about leveraging chatbots for all kinds of business - big and small.
The core of the show's episode is based on this Chatbot episode by The Agents of Change - How to Set Up a Facebook Chatbot for Your Business – Kelly Mirabella (by the way, we love the Agents of Change Podcast so check them out).
The free chatbot course is located on this site and Kelly's paid course is Baby Got Bot.
Be sure to listen to the audio chatbot by Google (mentioned in the episode)
Enjoy the podcast. More are coming soon and remember - Think BIG, Start SMALL, and Sell or Do NOW.
