Id second the SCORE resource. We have gotten some outstanding advice from them. Remember, Million dollar Ideas are a dime a dozen. It's implementing the Idea that is worth the million. This sounds obvious but... Plan what steps need to be done before you can realize a positive cash flow. plan out each individual step and figure out how long it will take you realistically, and if you would be the best person to complete each step. If you find you have miscalculated one step go back and redo your plan with the knowledge you have gained. Start an entity like an llc, or at least a checking account, to keep track of things. Remember you have to eat though the process. Now is it something you can do in your spare time? Is it something you can afford to finance? If you have to get outside funds protect yourself with a non disclosure agreement before telling your idea to anyone with money, because if you don't nothing stops them from pursuing your Idea themselves. Keep taking steps every day until you run into a wall then step back and find a way around the wall. good luck! -- Tom Penney _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
