To become a millionaire you would to have 20,000 people each give you $17 a month for at least 3 months.

Now let's say I have an idea that can fulfill that requirement and fulfill a need/desire and provide at least 20,000 people with some value.

How would I go about testing it so that I don't have to waste thousands of hours and dollars and have all my efforts go down the drain simply because I didn't do any proper planning
