In today’s episode, Jeff begins a series of shows exploring possible Freedom Engines. In this show, Jeff shares his experience at what it takes to start a business. The first rule of starting a business. It needs to solve a problem. You have to test your idea on real people, not create a product and take to market. Start lean. Learn to Market and Sell. It is not always hearts and roses. Suck it up Buttercup. You have to have a greater purpose. Jeff spent the early part of his career working for others.
