Episode notes
Start With Self Assessment
- Do assess your strengths, experiences, and passions before chasing trending markets. Use personality tests and past praise to identify what you can reliably offer others.
Bootstrapping With Service Skills
- Do begin with marketable skills and service offers if you have little startup cash. Use service revenue to later fund product development when demand is proven.

- Think bigger than freelancing: design offers that go beyond selling your time. A million-dollar offer removes the direct link between hours worked and income potential.
