75% of all start-ups fail. Don't make it! Never make it.
Steve Blank is trying to change those #'s. He is introducing a methodology called the "lean start-up." I particularly like his BUSINESS MODEL CANVAS. On this canvas, he encourages start-ups to sketch out their HYPOTHESES. Specifically, this canvas helps the start-up look at 9 BUILDING BLOCKS:
1. Key Partners: Who are your key partners and what activities will these partners perform?
2. Key Activities: What key activities do your value propositions require?
3. Key Resources: What key resources do your value propositions require?
4. Value Propositions: What value will you deliver to your customers? What problem(s) will you solve?
5. Customer Relationships: How will you get, keep, and grow customers?
6. Channels: Through what channels will you reach your customer segments?
7. Customer Segments: For whom are you creating value?
8. Cost Structure: What are the most important cost inherent to the model you chose?
9. Revenue Streams: What is the revenue model?
As you think about church planting, I would encourage you to develop a church planting canvas and develop your answers to the 9 building blocks in order to validate your hypothesis.
