Updates: Validating a Consulting Offer / Self-Funding a New SaaS

Today’s episode is an update episode. Jordan tells us about finding his customer base for the funnel tool. Brian discusses how he is working with his developers on a new training product he is planning. We discuss when to allow custom jobs and when to say no. We also discuss what challenges a young bootstrapped company needs to expect. Building your company is so much harder, than it sounds. If you are just starting out as a bootstrapped business, then maybe this episode will help you get an idea of what you’re getting into and the other challenges. [tweetthis]We need to shift into a more diversified product line with software and training. - Brian[/tweetthis] Here are today’s conversation points:
  • Our reactions to the Presidential election.
  • Jordan’s new custom job, and how he’s preparing for it.
  • How to fill gaps in your business.
  • Brian’s new training program.
  • Building a good foundation ladder.
  • The challenges of bootstrapping.
  • Jordan’s time at Tanner Larson’s Mastermind.
  • Brian’s planning discussions with his developers.
  • Advice about pricing and how to decide it.
[tweetthis]We are not giving up on short-term stuff but it is nice to start thinking in terms of the next few weeks. - Jordan[/tweetthis]
