Hello Fastlane,
This is my first post here so I hope I'm doing this right. Feel free to let me know if not.
I have spent nearly the last three decades in corporate S&M - from startups to Fortune 500 - and I am now ready to apply my knowledge and experience to my own business. I have a fully-developed idea that I know will be successful. I can state confidently that I know how to do everything I need to do except for the most important thing: building a website that I can host from anywhere in the world, can scale up quickly as I grow the user base, and turn into a high-value global brand with a billion-dollar exit strategy. I am dead in the water presently as I haven't a clue about where to begin.
So here's what I need to accomplish: Become an expert in building a website like eBay. I don't need to learn to code or design, but rather think of me as the project manager. I need to learn to specify my requirements, learn the nuts and bolts of contemporary internet infrastructure, learn what questions to ask of prospective vendors, learn how to protect my site and my users from outside attacks, and learn how to put together a budget to share with my investors.
I am old enough to remember the world before the internet. And I remember sending my first email and how amazing I thought that was. So having come of age with the dawn of the web, I feel like I should know more about its inner-working, but I've been so laser-focused on shifting units and net margins over the course of my career, that I neglected to become conversant in the most significant development in human history. So feel free to assume I know nothing about the internet except the fact that it exists. In fact, think of me as that project manager who is experienced in identifying requirements and marshalling resources but was literally just dropped on the Earth from Cyglar-4 where we have no internet and help me rediscover that sense of awe and wonder of sending my first email... I am your blank canvas.
Thank you in advance and please - by all means let me know how I can reciprocate!
