Alright, so here's the back story!
Sometime last year my friend and I were in iHop just getting together and talking about many different things. One of the things he mentioned was, he had a problem, a need, a product the market doesn't have, at ALL. He said he has searched and searched and he can't find it, ANYWHERE. He told me what it was and I suggested he should make it and manufacture the product. A lot of fear and doubt arose, IN HIM, so we changed topics. Months later he still complained, I again told him to make it, manufacture it, again no budge.
Little background information on my friend. He has a very similar mindset like me. Like its scary, seriously, no joke. Me and him click on SO many different levels. I thought I couldn't find someone that thought and believed in a lot of the stuff I do, but I did. I was working at T.J. MAXX and met him their, instant connection. Only difference is he is gay I'm not, not that, that matters anyways.
Lets fast forward to now.
So as I'm reading through JasonR's golden nugget thread, this idea just popped in my head again (after many many months, atleast 6 months). NOW, I want to seriously go "all F*cking in". No matter what it takes, I'm seriously willing to risk it all to make this happen and to see how far I can take this. It's F*cking 6:50 am in VA right now lmfao . I have a test tomorrow and I honestly haven't studied for it (don't really want to anyways, so many other more important things on my mind right now!). I'm in this for the long haul.
Before you ask, yes I know the market, demographic and how this product can help people. I seriously want to make this product to help people, because I know it could help out A LOT of people. Even if I have to give it out for free, I DON'T CARE, honestly.
Only dilemma I'm going through is if I should partner with my friend to make this happen. In the past I suggested but I never really PUSHED him you know?
I obviously have a lot of learning to do before I start making this product. Learning copy, how to sell, etc, etc. But I really want to make this into something tangible.
Any advice?
