Ser­ial entre­pre­neur Alex Mann implores us to take action, in this series of posts on exe­cut­ing your busi­ness idea:

  1. Be An Executioner
  2. Who’s Your Market
  3. Build­ing Your Team
  4. Gain­ing Momentum
  5. Develop Your Moat

As Alex reit­er­ates in Gain­ing Momen­tum, this advice that orig­i­nally appeared in the com­ments sec­tion of the intro­duc­tion (writ­ten by friend and mil­lion­aire entre­pre­neur Derek Sivers) is impor­tant, if not imperative:

MAKE it, even if you don’t have the mas­sive programming-skill avail­able, then make a super lo-fi or no-fi ver­sion and just get started with a cou­ple friends and volunteers.

It’s SO much more impres­sive to hear some­one say, “There’s this thing that I’ve started doing that a lot of peo­ple seem to like.”
