Nuggets:
- A Software as a Service (SaaS) needs to be so easy your grandma could use it
- If you’re in a fear mindset, make a plan. No matter how great the plan is it will help you get into action, which is a much better state.
- If you want your business to grow, expect your marketing budget to expand ahead of growth. A stable marketing budget reflects a stagnant business.
Action Steps:
- Start with a plan. Understand the basics of why and how this business would work before moving forward.
- Create a mock up by getting bids from UI designers.
- Invest in creating a product that you can launch to a small group of enthusiastic clients.
- Aim to use your first clients as evangelists that can spread the word to others on the benefits of the product. Create compelling case studies and document customer stories.
- Once you’ve dialed the product in and garnered effusive praise from your evangelists, start selling to other business owners.
