Overview

Tom and I break down where to begin if you want to start a business. We keep it simple. One person. One problem. One promise. You will leave with a 7-day starter sprint, two easy templates, and a clear path to your first sales.

Key takeaways

• Start with a real problem you can solve
• Choose a tiny market you can reach this week
• Write a one line offer and price the outcome
• Ask for help early. Then ask for the sale
• Track simple metrics. Conversations. Offers. Yes responses. Delivery. One result
