The notes below are the original notes from that episode.
I hear from people all the time how they want to start a business. Many times the reason they don’t is they are being to complex rather than just getting shit done. They start off trying to launch a business that looks like it is 5 years old and successful on day one.
Don’t get me wrong I am not talking about marketing here, you absolutely do want to market a business to its vision, vs, looking tiny. No what I mean is people are trying to find a warehouse before they sell a single product or even figure out if they need one, that sort of thing.
Today you can have a business up and going pretty fast, today I am going to just toss out some ideas and try to do it more from a business model stand point than “go into ____ business and sell _____s for ___ dollars each.
