Journey: Test & Validate 10 Startup Ideas in 100 Days with $1,000 Total.

My name is Omar and I’m a wantrepreneur.

It’s absolutely difficult to admit this, but after “trying” with several different startups I understand my mistakes and have dearly learned from them. I’m in debt, without a job, and shut down my latest startup after spending 12 months and $65,000 before launching. Convinced I keep making the same mistakes over and over again, I purchased and read the Lean Startup within 48 hours. I had to many “aha” moments and consciously understood my problems that it’s led me to this article.

Over the next 100 days, I will be testing 10 different startup ideas. I will dedicated 10 days each. If I need to pivot then the pivot becomes the next startup idea. I will document everything I do. I will tell you what the idea is, the assumptions I make, the MVPs I will build (all non-technical), the tools I’ll be using, and most important of all, the results.

The primary reason I’m making this public is because I want to make a commitment to myself and to you that I will accomplish my goal. To be honest, I am less concerned about the result (how much money I make, users I get to sign up, or validating the idea). I really care about the personal feeling inside of me that tells me that I can do anything possible, including being a person that solves a problem that people are willing to pay for (did you notice how I didn’t use the word entrepreneur?).

I have a bunch of problems I believe people or organizations want solved, and those will be what I will be testing. Before, I would jump right in and want to get started building, but now, I just want to validate.

Are you ready? Starting tomorrow I will begin testing idea #1 and write a short introductory to it.

Thanks,

Omar
