Any guidance/advice on how to do this?

PopeDotNinja on Nov 8, 2018 [–]

Here's part of the path I took:

- Pick something you really wanna do

- Sell something with big fat margins

- Don't run out of cash

- Go where the customers are

- Don't outsource your critical path to anyone ever

- Figure out what customers want to spend money on but can't

- Figure out how to get customers to pay you in advance for work you haven't done yet
