1. Clearly define what you “think” you want to do.
2. Test drive the idea by volunteering to do grunt work or talking with someone who currently does that thing. Focus on asking about the secret challenges / frustrations.
3. Invest $150 in a one-hour mentoring session. Objective: Clearly define your first THREE steps.
