How do you turn an idea into a business?

Are you awash with ideas? Is your mind litterally swimming in a soup of opportunities & possibilities? Of apps & products & businesses & services & solutions to problems not yet solved?

Then you aren't alone. There are literally thousands of people just like you -they imagine a bigger, brighter, better world after they fix this 'thing' that needs to be fixed. If only someone would.

And yet the problem is still there -staring at you -waiting to be fixed. So why don't you fix it?

What is stopping you? Get out your pen & paper -right now. Put the problem down on paper. Write it out - who does this problem hinder? How could it be solved? Who has tried before? Why did they fail? How could it be done better? How could you reach them?

Don't write code or a business plan - describe the problem, the customer & how your solution helps them. Then find 10 people like the customer, (on the phone or over coffee) and ask them about this problem. Don't tell them about the solution- just discuss the problem. If it's a real problem that is solvable with your solution, you'll know soon enough.

What's stopping you?

Who is That StartUp Guy?

"ThatStartUpGuy.com.au" is a site for those with a great idea, who wonder what to do next.

Startups are in my blood -I've been an 'ideas guy' since as long as I can remember, but it took some time to find my path - is 27 years too long?

My goal is to help you, by guiding you through the steps, and past the challenges and pitfalls, to turn that 'Great Idea' into reality, whether it's a business, a product, an app or just finding an answer to a common problem. 

At the same time, I'll share with you my own journey, from which you might just draw valuable lessons of your own. Connect via Social Media, and share stories of your own journey.

Shortly, you can subscribe to our newsletter to receive a free gift of one of my upcoming books on startups or mobile ideas. (we will never send spam to your e-mail address or sell your information to any other party).

I've already started sharing other articles about the challenges and joys of being "That StartUp Guy".  Being an entrepreneur can be a lonely journey, but it doesn't have to be.

And if you are in need of some help with a great idea, contact me and lets get a conversation started.
