I have a problem that I think contains the seed for a new business. At 67, I'm at retirement age, but I'm flat broke because I spent my entire life on the sidewalk. Now that I've finished The Millionaire Fastlane and have started using the Fastlane playbook, I plan to be rich and free when I'm 72.
The business I want to start is a YouTube channel teaching broke senior citizens how to get rich. My question: Is it appropriate to start the channel now and teach others as I learn, or should I wait until I've completely solved the problem myself and then teach others how they too can completely solve the problem?
