Hey everone!
Glad to join this community, after I read MJ's books!
Long story short - I've been trying to get a business off the ground for 7+ years now. I've had my successes and my failures along the road (couple small businesses sold, but nothing major thus).
Reading "the books" made me realize in detail what were the mistakes I made and I've outlined two issues:
1. My willingness to work hard at least until a business system is built.
2. Ideas failing to meet the CENTS criteria.
What happened in the past couple of months is rather interesting - I've been approached from people who are mid-to-big business owners with questions about migrating their websites from one CMS to another. It's important to note I'm not a developer myself, but work for a big company in the industry (primary job) and have available the resources to use for such an endeavor (developers) at a decent cost (secondary job).
The first sale is already "closed" and it meets me at a time, when I'm actively thinking/looking for an idea that would cover CENTS and I can devote my efforts on it. So now there's a great reason to open the business (2 more people with the same requests on the backburner), but..
the big question here is - do you guys think that a business that creates new websites and performs migrations from one CMS to another agrees with CENTS? It's obviously best to do something and then see where the path leads you, just a little afraid that my efforts would be wasted in a non-scalable and properly crowded space?
Thank you all!
P.S.
Based in Bulgaria, can work/promote in the English and German speaking countries easily.
