Hello everyone
I am starting this progress thread to help document my progress, share my experiences during this process and hold myself accountable.
A little about myself:
I am currently 25 years old and work a full time job at an automotive logistics company. It's an office job I landed out of college. My goal is to quit my job and become a successful entrepreneur so that I can have the freedom to live the type of lifestyle I want. I have tried a few different dropshipping businesses in the past and none of them did that well, but it was a great learning experience. I gained some knowledge in Facebook Ads/Google Adwords that I can take with me moving forward.
For this new pursuit, I am going to be working toward starting a Saas business based off the "Idea Extraction" approach. I am starting from scratch. I am basically going to be setting up phone call meetings with business owners (I have a market picked out already) and discussing their pains and problems with running their business. The goals to find/validate a pain in the market and build a solution to solve this pain.
As of right now, I have a call scheduled for tomorrow with a business owner in the market I am targeting. My approach right now, is that I am sending out personal emails to setup the calls and I am letting them know that I am going to be creating an industry report from all my research and will be giving it away to them for free for there agreement to do a phone call.
This seems to be effective with my market right now. I have only sent out 20 emails so far and 5/20 responded that they are interested in talking (only 1 scheduled so far). I will need to send out way more emails to validate that this will be an effective way to schedule more calls but it looks promising.
Goals for tomorrow (Day 1):
