Confirm these before spending on anything permanent.
Before Launching a Business Idea
- The problem is written down in one sentence, without naming your solution.
- You have talked to five to ten real potential buyers about their current situation.
- A specific, priced offer exists, not just a general idea.
- At least a few people outside your close circle have taken a real action: paid, prepaid, or given a firm commitment.
- You have set a test budget you are comfortable losing.
