10 things more important than The Idea

Just full of Ideas by Cayusa

If you’ve never gone out on your own, the economic crisis might have you considering it.  Yet many feel paralyzed by the lack of a “good” idea.  In my experience I’ve found at least 10 things more important than the idea itself… in no particular order.

  1. Passion - High Energy and Commitment is required in any setting!
  2. Your family and close friends - Can’t do it without their support
  3. Access to good developers - if not you, make some new friends:)
  4. Access to information - good information goes a long way
  5. Business Partners that share your Passion - Share and get more done
  6. Access to clients or customers - without financing, you need buyers
  7. Health Insurance - as important as your health
  8. Community - people to talk to
  9. Prototyping and testing - give the ideas a whirl, early
  10. Asking for help - you can’t do it alone… besides, they *want* to help you!
