Summary

Today's question comes from Loris, who asks about my first year in business. Was the first year hard? I reflect on my first year in business and what helped me stick with it. This is a topic that is important to me—I want to help you start the business that is right for you. I recently wrote a new book on validating your idea for a business, Will It Fly?, at http://willitflybook.com. Do you have a question about starting an online business?
