Are You Strong Enough To Believe Your Idea Is Worth Billions Of Dollars?

[Vincent Wright]

Within a very short period of time in human history, many Billion Dollar businesses have been built:

Amazon
eBay
Facebook
Google
Linkedin
Microsoft
Oprah
Twitter (probably soon)
Yahoo
YouTube

The people who created these companies have seen an idea in their mind's eye, felt it in their soul, sketched it out in writing, dreamed about it in their sleep, and followed it through the processes of birthing, nurturing, and flourishing. As a result new businesses which help millions of people have been borne - businesses worth Billions of dollars.

So, if a trusted expert told you your idea is worth billions, are you strong enough to believe it? Are you strong enough to act so as to help give it birth? Are you a "partial believer" not fully believing in the ultimate value or your own idea? Or are you a "full believer"? A person prepared to be the foundation of a Billion Dollar business?

Thanks, and Keep STRONG, "Billionaires In Waiting"!!

Hi Vincent,
I am a "full believer" and I don't even need an expert to tell me, my idea IS worth a billion dollars ! Heck, even if they told me it wasn't - I'd disagree. :)

I think WrapMail is worth billions:

Organizations seem to ignore the single largest online advertising venue available: their own regular external emails.
You have a website.
You send emails.
Why not make every email and every sender part of your marketing effort?
No other marketing or advertising medium is as effective as an email between people that know each other (as opposed to mass emails). These emails are always read and typically kept.
WrapMail offers a solution that is server-based (i.e. compatible with all email clients), has a complete back-office with a WrapMaker, reporting etc and only charge $5 per user per month.

WrapMail Business©:
Solution wraps external email in clients own branding. Solution includes WrapMaker and Report Generator in back office – Customer Control Panel. Requires the client to have their own domain and send emails from an email client (such as Outlook, Notes, Thunderbird, Mac Mail or Entourage etc).
Solution is offered as either shared hosting – WrapMail PRO or dedicated hosting – WrapMail ENTERPRISE (the latter requiring installation at client’s data center on client’s hardware where the first routes all emails through WrapMail’s hosting facility).
Pricing: $5 per user (email sender) per month + one-time activation (and installation charge if on dedicated server).

World market: 1 billion corporate email accounts, $60b residual annual market.
Inc Magazine article May 09
Key clients: Verizon, Toshiba and Nortel.

WrapMail EDU©:
Solution wraps student emails. Solution is offered free of charge to colleges and universities. WrapMail will insert 3rd party approved advertising in up to 25% of the wrap. WrapMail further will offer a 25% revenue share with the educational institutions.
Students will have the ability to customize parts of the wraps with their image, text and links to sites such as MySpace, Facebook, Twitter etc.
(This solution will also be tested towards Government; WrapMail GOV, same principles).
Estimated advertising revenue: $0.05 per email total (5 ads @ $10 CPM)

WrapMail and Google: http://www.google.com/enterprise/marketplace/viewListing?productListingId=5463336+6204710699115915294

US Market: 18M students sending an average of 2 emails per day – 36M emails x 5 cents ad revenue per email = $ 657M residual annual market

Key client: Broward College. Close prospects: Miami Dade College, NOVA and FAU – MDC has 160K students and have recommended starting with WrapMail.

WrapMail Lite©:
Web-based email system comparable to solutions offered by Yahoo, AOL, Hotmail etc but with a Wrap facility as the differentiator. Prefabricated templates that are available for the specific networks (MLM, eBay, Real Estate etc) where users customize with their image, text and unique links.
Pricing: $4.95 per month or $49.50 per year

Key client: Shop to Earn – will promote a custom WrapMail solution to its 150,000 distributors.

It all starts with desire! Motivation to act (motive to act). http://awesomeinternetbiz.com

WONDERFUL essay, Michael! And, yes, indeed, you are being hard on yourself - JUST WHAT YOU NEED! :-) Of course, being hard on yourself is NOT the same thing as abusing yourself. My definition of being hard = good old fashion DISCIPLINE. And, in my opinion, discipline is our friend. The foundation of billionairehood...

By the way: I'm super-glad you included in your essay the concept of love. It is the very foundation of the "Wright Hand Icon" seen so much here on MyLinkingPowerForum.com as well as an abundance of other places on the Internet

Bhaskar,
Including ten does not logically rule out non-Internet companies. Further, a list of ten companies is not intended to be exhaustive. To include all billion dollar companies representing all industries could have taken weeks and could have yielded a list which few, if any, people would have read. It was an improvised list, meant to stir imagination. You are encouraged to use your imagination to think of other companies...

[Michael Beddows]

A believer - yes, I am. In fact, I believe there's a billionaire in every one of us. We each have the capacity within us to create one billion dollars (or more), regardless of our personality, perspicacity, position, or purse.

They say that the first million is the hardest. "They" weren't kidding, lol! In fact, the first 100k is proving to be a bit of a struggle even after failing several times in the attempt(s). And yet, each time has been a learning experience. Each time is taking me one step closer, closer to the truth about building wealth. Do you want to know what I think that truth it is?

Know yourself - really, really well. Then know and love others. Yes, love. You're bound to encounter those who for whatever reason get on your very last nerve. Love them, in spite of their perceived faults. They will take you forward, because they bring something you don't have. Unfortunately, I don't think this is a "weekend assignment". I've spent my lifetime trying to figure this out and I would currently score an "incomplete".

Perhaps I'm being hard on myself, but.. Business models are easy - create value, buy low sell high, secure cash flow, build a team - easy, right? Partnerships, customer relationships, customer experience, employee motivation, commitment through calamity - now that's hard stuff. If we get these right, then we're well on our way to billionairehood.

I am strong enough to believe - in myself and those around me. And I know that I will be well on my way to becoming a billionaire by the end of 2010.

All the companies listed are Internet companies.

How come there are no businesses in the water, energy, global warming mitigation fields.
