FINALLY a breakthrough! Now what?

[Carny]

After months of indecision and inaction I had 3 ideas just yesterday, two of which I will definitely pursue. I'm still on the fence with the third. It's like I was in the "need zone". I just found one need after another and ways to solve them. It was incredible! It was all so clear! I was playing with my son and kept running to the office to write down ideas.

The idea I'm most excited about is a program for businesses to help manage customers. The problem is I'm not a programmer, yet anyway. I've read the debate about learning to program. It may not be true fastlane, but its something I was interested in long before I ever heard of TMFL so I want to use my excitement for this venture to push me to learn coding now.

What I'm picturing will need to be able to do the following:

1. Allow business owners to enter customer information
2. Send notices to the owners about the customers
3. Charge my customers monthly and allow them to charge their customers monthly automatically
4. Be web accessible
5. Possibly support a mobile app
6. Allow owners to track progress and give an overview of performance with charts, graphs, etc

Should I be looking at making a stand alone product or can I do this as a website? I hope to have hundreds of customers, and they will hopefully have hundreds as well so that is a lot of information.

I don't even know where to start searching for what I need to know.

Thanks in advance!
