There's a business that I wanted to do since I was in high school. It's a business teaching special memory techniques that I have. I decided to do this business because

1. I benefitted from it. I went to a top law school and this memory technique allowed me to revise 100+pages each day.

2. Other people will benefit from it. A simple google search and talking to other students showed that other people were struggling to memorise information and were seeking effective memoru techniques.

3. I can affect MILLIONS. This is one of the things MJ DeMarco stressed. Everyone learns throighout their lifetime and there will always be students in this world. Also, memory technique is applicable to all human beings regardless of their nationalities. Most importantly, it can be taught online.

My first step is teaching people these techniques and see if it works with other people too. I need to prove that it's applicable to anyone. I am currently searching for students to teach these techniques but it's more difficult than I thought. Tutoring memory tehnique is quite unusual so while some people showed interest, they weren't keen enough to pay for the price I suggested for this lesson. I think because this is so unusual, people are more cautious.

I am trying to think what I could do. Should I try doing "free lessons"...?
