Ideas worth nothing. Talk to potential customers, try to learn they problem, see if they like your idea of solving their problem. Use "paper and scissors" to build quick and dirty prototype — this is possible while having full tim

Although at this stage it's less about sales and more about understanding your potential customers and what problem do they have. That's why I would recommend starting side business project by talking to customers first, understan

Nice! what you describe is basically a standard sales process. You will very often be ignored, and people will not reply to you - don't get it personal. Read more about cold emailing and sales. It's a complex process, but essentia

I just wanted to make a point, that a work visa by itself is not a real blocker, more of a mental one. At least it was for me :) Networking for me is about building credibility around myself in the area I will need for a business, online o

Done that. First, I think it's great expirience for a founder in terms of understanding and learning how to run business. Especially if you manage to grow to have consulting company with employees. For me main challenge was Focus. Hard
