I just want to start this thread because I'm sick and tired of working at my current job. I won't get into details about that, but let's say yesterday especially fired me up.

This is my progress with this project so far:
* Set up online store, working on messaging freelancers to help me setup my social media.
* Designed my logo, etc.
* Tried online ads which didn't work so now trying social media
* I'm also going through 60 minute startup, once I'm done with that book and hopefully in 1-2 weeks I can leave a review. I would consider that book a success the moment I sell my first widget.

Pros to this project:
* High margins
* Can scale where I can potentially hire some of my coworkers to help me
* Don't have to deal with people
