Working thoughts, I can see the categories in the 20s being something like:

  • 21 Channels
  • 22 Products
  • 23 Customers
  • 24 Marketing, advertising, & communications

This keeps the flow of things. Per the dotted line through the middle of the diagram:

  • You earn money,
  • via a payment processor,
    • both of which live in 13 Money
  • linked to a channel,
  • where you sold a product,
  • to a customer,
  • because you convinced them to buy it with your marketing.

What type of business are you?

The shape of 20-29 will change depending on the type of business you run.

  • You sell something physical.
    • POP Canberra (a local tourist/novelty store).
    • Farmer.
    • Restaurant.
  • You sell a physical service, but the primary product isn’t a physical thing.
    • Hairdressing salon.
      • Although you might still sell some stuff, e.g. fancy shampoo.
    • Gardener.
    • Masseuse.
    • PT.
    • Cleaner.
    • Outdoor adventure.
    • Driver.
      • This isn’t just a service as it’s impossible to do remotely. Being in a physical thing – the car – is integral.
  • You sell a service.
    • Adam the financial advisor.
    • Celebrant.
      • You could, theoretically (if the law allowed), do this remotely.
    • Teacher/tutor.
    • Accountant.
    • Consultant geologist (Lucy’s dad).
  • You provide a digital product.
    • When we sold the JD workbook.
      • It’s a thing, but it’s not physical: so no stocking, manufacturing, etc.
    • Decimal.Business. It’s all digital.

For some of these, the ‘freelancer pattern’, i.e. expand an area might be more appropriate in some sections, e.g. customers.

TBC! HTH? TTFN.
