1. Choose a goal related to your new business. It could be a tiny MVP that you will launch, certain number of potential clients you will interview or a website with a specific amount of traffic.
2. Set a date at least a few weeks from now when you think you can get that done.
3. Quit only if you accomplish your goal.
It will help you build excitement, stay focused on a real target and give you a better base to talk to future collaborators.
And you will learn how hard it is. :-)
- cthink 16y agoActually, I did something different. I worked as a consultant for a company and built a MVP. The client has shown interest in the product and believes there is a market for such a product.
- revorad 16y agoThat's awesome, congratulations. Did the client say they will buy your product? If they said "it's interesting and there must be a market", that's probably a red flag.
- chaithsc 16y agoThey didn't buy the product but they are using the tool for user acquisition and paying me on a rev-share basis which I feel is win-win for both sides.
- revorad 16y agoThat's really good. You obviously know both how to make and sell a product! Two people in one... just like your HN accounts.
