From 9-to-5 to entrepreneur (journal)

[ProblemSolving]

Week 1:

I went on Upwork, and sending proposals.
I would have a phone interview next week.
It would be a $3 an hour sales job with commission.
While it's a crap job, it's slow lane, it serves a few purpose:
- I have to start somewhere.
- I'll learn the sales skill, which will be crucial to become an entrepreneur.

My long term plan is to have a product that I can sell. So I have a website, solve a specific problem.
How can I know if my product will work?
Test it.
So next week I'll go out, cold approaching people and seek feedback for my product.
