the bare minimumHow quickly can you build it? How much does it cost?

Hack it!

the lean startupCan you work like Facebook, Snapchat, and Twitter?

IDEAS are worthlessNo one worthy will steal your idea, they’re too busy building

their own dreams - so execute

COME UP WITH LOTS OF IDEAS. MAKE ENDLESS LISTS

Not can it be built…

SHOULD IT BE BUILT???

WILL PEOPLE PAY YOU FOR IT?

not every idea is great and that’s ok

How I did it…I used too many ideas

I built too much

I didn’t learn fast enough

Think big, build small

Spend as little time and money to learn if you can make money

MOVE REALLY FAST

How I work now1. Ask questions - look for answers in the data

2. Pick one feature - simplify it

3. Draw it

4. Design it

5. Build it

6. Ask questions - collect data

List all your ideas

draw them

show people

Learn…
