Olivia Pope
Washington's Fixer
“I have one big idea and limited savings. Play it safe or bet on it?”
Here is what you do not do. You do not wander into it. You do not confuse commitment with emptying the account. Keep the day job if it funds the test; tell people the truth about the plan. Here is what you do. You take one week. You find out who wants this thing badly enough to pay for it, and you get that in writing, not in compliments.
If that week comes back with nothing, you keep your savings and your dignity. If it comes back with a paying yes, price the smallest delivery you can make. Protect the essential bills. Set the budget, the deadline and the result that earns another step. Decide.
Then do the work; handled comes after the result.
