The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_Model_Canvas Business Model Canvas] is a way to think through how you  
 
* turn your idea into an activity that can sustain itself and  
* communicate its "business model" quickly, briefly, and simply.  
Nine building blocks of the business model tell your story: Partners deliver Resources through Activities so you can transform them by creating Value. This affects your Cost Structure. Each Customer Segment receives value through Channels and builds a Relationship. This shapes your Revenue Streams. The canvas lets you flesh out each part and see how they relate to each other.
