“I used to feel like being an entrepreneur was just a dream, but through The Foundation I have learned that it can be my reality.”
Don Traxler

The process

Less guessing.
More evidence.

The same four moves from your guide, put into practice.

  1. 01

    Find a real problem

    Talk to customers. Uncover a painful problem worth solving, instead of guessing at an idea.

  2. 02

    Sell before you build

    Validate the solution with paying customers. Money is evidence; enthusiasm isn't.

  3. 03

    Build the solution

    Bring in the expertise to make it real. You don't have to be the developer.

  4. 04

    Get more customers

    Turn a customer's win into a story. Repeat what works and build from there.
