Hi!

I've decided to create this progress thread to take massive action, stop procrastination, and hold myself accountable. It will help!

My plan is:
1) Cold call a lot of businesses using the Idea Extraction Technique to find a pain point
2) Pre-sell my solution
3) Build an MVP
4) Hear Feedback, Improve!

I've already called lawyers, which was difficult (because when I just had to touch the "dial" button I was almost paralysed :happy:, but now it's ok)

If you want to follow my journey, you're welcome.

My Goals:
  • Creating a SaaS solving a problem
  • Get accepted in a economy school
  • Take the money of the SaaS to build another business.

PS: On a side note, I contacted someone who could help me with building a business that might be worth several million dollars :moneybag: :moneybag: (but I don't have the funds for now, which is why I'll create a SAAS)
