And you need to get from "This has to work" to "This works". Then from "This works" to "This is how we make money off of it". The second step can take some time, but needs to happen :)<BR/><BR/>@Pranav<BR/>Yep. Gotta agree with you there. However, B'lore in this day and age is expensive to startup in :| Making the barriers for a startup to succeed so much higher.GeekBeyondRedemptionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13972222507297532413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22832300.post-84405746437159822292008-05-25T16:53:00.000+05:302008-05-25T16:53:00.000+05:30Couldn't agree more.I have seen so many people say...Couldn't agree more.<BR/><BR/>I have seen so many people say that they are waiting for a perfect idea to start up. In my experience, the perfect time to start is "now" - if you have the courage to start and the will to execute, everything else will fall into place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22832300.post-45059023015260565862008-05-21T19:09:00.000+05:302008-05-21T19:09:00.000+05:30"Iteration of the Idea" - Absolutely true.

To come up with a concrete idea which finally looks like it will work took me and my team at least 6 months. <BR/><BR/>When I mention that we have been developing on the idea for that long, people give us the "Tortoise" look. In other words, Get up and start moving dude. <BR/><BR/>I think iteration is the key to a successful plan. Can't say that with authority right now, since we are nowhere near starting, but i do see how the idea has developed from a "this sounds like this should work" to "This has to work".<BR/><BR/>Whether it will actually get there, is a question that time will answer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22832300.post-27064984346054198112008-02-02T08:05:00.000+05:302008-02-02T08:05:00.000+05:30Hi Dallin,That's exactly what I've seen.

They had the idea before but did not push through thinking it was such a bad idea, for me you can always figure out ways to make a good idea into bad business or a bad idea to a successful business.<BR/><BR/>Do you know about the Young Entrepreneur Society <A HREF="http://www.YoungEntrepreneurSociety.com/" REL="nofollow">www.YoungEntrepreneurSociety.com</A>?
