Here are things I will NEVER do, if I was starting out today:
- Getting my company registered
- Getting a website, or a name, or fancy logo
- Starting a YouTube channel, or an Instagram page, or anything else which people say “you really need to do this!” (No, you don’t)
- Hiring employees
- Rent out an office space
- Learn “digital marketing”
- Worrying about the perfect business idea
- Attending the new-shiny-object these days — Webinars!! (Just so we are on this topic, please go to your inbox and just check how many webinar emails you have been invited to over the past 1-2 months)
- Wasting hours and hours on thinking (and never taking action)
- Sitting and debating endlessly — (“what if I don’t have time, what if I am not good, what if my idea is bad”)
- Anything else you want to add?
Doing these will make you feel “productive”, but won’t get you results, especially when your core focus is to earn more in the beginning stages.
What I would ONLY focus on
Only 3 things:
- Find few ideas, and pick 1
- Validate it, (check if it has good enough demand and profitability)
- Get the first 1-3 paying clients
That is it. Do these 3 steps (and I have tons of material on this website for this), and you will win.
That’s my promise.
