Hello everyone,
I read "The 4 Hour Work Week", "The Millionaire Fastlane ", "The Lean Startup" and "Get Real (37Signals)" and those books completely changed my life - but it wasn't until I discovered Dane Maxwell that I was actually ready to take action. I devoured all his free content online and now I finally have the courage to start my own software company.
I'm 21 and so far I've dropped out of law school and business school and started two businesses: A lasertag arena and an e-learning platform for German law students. I failed in a spectacular fashion, but I also learned a lot.
I'm not going back to college and I'm sure as hell not getting a full-time job that will distract me from living my dream: Becoming a location independent entrepreneur with passive income.
I want to share with you what I'm doing everyday to build my business - to hold myself accountable and maybe even inspire you!
My long-term goal is to build a web app that generates monthly recurring revenue of at least 100€/customer and get enough customers to fund my lifestyle.
My goals for the next three months are:
1. Talk to A LOT of business owners in order to find a painful unsolved problem
2. Create clickable mockups of a web app that solves those problems
3. Get pre-sales from at least 4 companies (based on those mockups)
(if I don't get 4 companies to pay me upfront I'll ditch that industry and look for a different one)
4. Hire a developer and have a MVP developed in under a month
5. Get feedback from my first ~4 customers, adjust the app to my customer's needs, invest a good part of my profit in further development to make my web app super awesome, get testimonials and then
6. SCALE SCALE SCALE SCALE
7. Profit ?
