Hi there, I have just finished reading MJ's book (Millionaire fastlane ) and felt super-charged into diving in and starting a business. I have a number of ideas, which I have evaluated against the 5 commandments and scored appropriately. I was excited about my ideas so I discussed them with my friends at the bar. One of my friends is a senior risk adviser and a pension trustee at a major UK bank, very senior and very knowledgeable. I have always looked up to him and trusted his view. He told me my ideas were sh*t. He ripped them apart like a cheap printer chews up paper. I have limited funds to start a business but lots of passion. When hearing feedback like this I worry my investment will be foolhardy and it puts me off attempting it. Do any of you established fast-laners have any advice for a newbie starting out?
