And then, only if you are not walking away in pursuit of a fresher, larger dream. My blog isn't all that popular. But last week, after wrestling with some ideas for a couple of months, I came up with a new product and got it into prototype condition. I have a niche market of somewhat over 7,000,000 potential customers. I only need to sell to less than 1 in 100. Tomorrow, and for the whole month of August, the prototype will be put to use. In the meantime I have begun to create its website and hunt down the vendors I will need. This product is going to solve a nagging problem for a lot of people. It has built-in recurring sales (refills) and a clear upgrade path from the entry model to more expensive presentation / ego models. And all I need from it is a buck over cost for the starter set and the refills. I don't really have any particular dream except to serve my God and to be useful to others. This product, the first of several related products, will help me do that. I'm no martyr ... I'm selling this at a profit or not at all. But I -am- the kind of guy you'd like to have in your corner; working out the details for you as a way of making my own living. Bill You’re not defeated until you walk away.
