As an entrepreneur, I have four big goals:
  1. Earn my freedom by building a productocracy
  2. Earn a spot on Shark Tank using my productocracy
  3. Use all cash to buy a Prius with a loud high-octane diesel engine in it
  4. Use all cash to buy a Snoopy Sno Cone Maker
I'm actually joking about the Prius. Please don't send me any hate mail.

I really want to pay cash for an all black Performance Tesla Model X with 22 inch Onyx Black wheels with the six seat interior and all black carbon fiber decor with full self driving capability.

The only thing keeping me from achieving my big four goals is me.

I'm what @MJ DeMarco refers to in Chapter 47 of Unscripted as an Idea Entrepreneur. I have lots of ideas, but never stay focused on one long enough to get anything done.

I'm ashamed to say that: My name is @Rawseed and I suffer from a severe case of Premature Evacuation.

I have lots of ideas for businesses, but I'm really excited about my most recent one. It's an idea for an accessory for charcoal and gas grills. It's a physical product.
  • It solves a problem that I have.
  • I've validated that it solves a problem for countless others.
  • I've validated that people are more than willing to pay for a solution.
  • Finally, I've validated that I can manufacture the solution at a reason price.
Now, all I have to do is force the execution. I'm going to do this by forcing accountability.

Here are the strategies I'm enlisting:
  • I hired a mentor/coach from the Fastlane community. Said mentor has brought physical products to market himself and has helped others do the same. I won't mention their name until I've actually accomplished something.
  • I've started a price pact with a friend that forces me to pay money anytime I fail to reach my weekly goals.
  • I joined a mastermind with other entrepreneurs.
  • Finally, I'm starting this public thread to document my progress.
I'll start documenting my steps, successes, and failures here. Please feel free to provide any and all feedback. Please shame me, if I don't execute.

Sounds like me. I have a notebook full of ideas. But,now I'm focused on freelancing.

Anyways, all the best my friend.
