Test your ideas simply and fail quickly

Whats in it for you?

I just had this idea. It probably won't amount to much, but I've decided that for every person that donates more that $3 I will (with approval) put their information on a "business founders or investors" page. The info would consist of any combination of Name, Email, Biography (or business bio including business name), and/or Website URL. Yes I guess technically I'm selling links space, but the content on the page will be more than just a link to your site, it could potentially give you leads if you have business info or a personal biography. You could be known as someone who helped start one of the greatest companies in the world, or maybe just someone who helped start a company. Either way this page could lead to valuable information about you or your business in a place that may generate genuine respect.

Why am I doing this this way?

On Monday (Sunday is a family day) I'll be back to talk about why I am jumping right in using a free blogger account to start this experiment as opposed to creating an awesome looking website with way better features. (In fact I did start doing that and decided I needed to just pull the trigger...) It has something to do with failing fast - but I'll get in to more details on Monday!

The goal is now set...

Well I've set the goal so help me live up to it. It wasn't easy to do though - I guess that means that I took the exercise seriously and didn't just pick something. Help to keep me honest!

Setting Goals

OK, Pulling the trigger

I've been thinking about this for over a week almost non-stop and its to the point that I either need to do something about it, or drop the idea. I started setting up a website but in the end decided that this would be the fastest way to see if this experiment works. Check back daily to see the developments on both the business side and how I deal with quitting my job and moving forward.

Welcome

Welcome to my blog and thanks for coming to visit. I am so excited to start a business that I can't wait to save enough money on my own. This is why I'm asking for people on the internet to give just a few dollars so that I can make a difference in my community. You can learn more about me and the business on the perspective pages on this blog, and I will continue to post daily updates to keep you informed of the progress of our business. Thanks in advance.
