Intro Thread:

Introduction - My First Purchase For My Company Is...

I already have the idea for the business. I feel that this niche I wanna go in can create a lot of business in the industry I'm working in and can help it greatly. So why not give it a shot? I will say this though. It's a social payment app like Venmo that'll focus maybe 65/35-70/30 on the social/payment part.

My goal is to turn a $2k investment into a million dollar business within two years or less. Where am I at right now you ask?

Plan:

-Have around $2k (bank) to $2.3k (~$300 cash) saved up
-In the talks with a website developer/app developer that charges $100/hr for service. It's my friend's cousin who he used to work for. Friendly guy.
-Create the name, set up domain, etc.
-Start marketing and branding my product.
-Get enough users to scale business further and get investors.
-Profit?

Goals this week:

-Get a quote for my app/website
-Make prototype of the idea.

Last but not least another goal of mine is to get to know TFF users more. If I'm sharing a diary of my life on the internet, I want to at least know the people reading it :innocent: :halo:. I'm a friendly dude and would love to meet successful entrepreneurs or people just starting out. Hopefully through this thread I can meet great people.

Any constructive criticism is appreciated.

If you feel I should do something or if I can improve on something, feel free to comment it down. I would actually love the feedback. Even if you think I should add a goal in a day, mention it. It'll boost my motivation and will make me work harder :).

Thanks for reading!
