Little knowledge goes a long way…
… asking small questions leads to big answers
What do I want?
I want to earn lots of money.
How am I going to do that?
By selling something?
What do I have?
I can sell my skills.
I can have a corporate job or work freelance
But working as a professional I can earn only so much.
How can I earn large amounts of money?
By starting a company
What do people want to buy?
I don’t know?
How can I know that ?
Well, Paul Graham answers this to some extent.
But, I got to think of something that I can do, that people might want to buy, with my skill set and amount of monetary risk I can take ?
Now what if I get this thing ? How do I build it?
If it is something similar to my skill set, maybe I can build it. Or maybe I can hire someone to build it for me. Someone from my professional contacts or one of the freelancing sites on the internet.
How do I intend market it ?
I don’t know
Are there other people selling stuff similar to what I am selling?
If yes, How are they doing it?
I don’t know, How can I find out?
By doing research on the internet, or finding people who might know.
Ok they are selling using these methods? Can I use some if not all of their methods ?
Can I invent some methods of my own?
