THE PLAYBOOKSWK JOURNAL / 01

Start with a specific customer, a problem they already pay to solve, and a delivery method you can support. Before spending on a polished launch, test demand with direct conversations and a clear offer. Confirm the legal, licensing, insurance, and tax requirements for your location and industry before accepting regulated work.

Put it into practice.

  1. Define one customer and one paid problem.
  2. Write a simple offer and confirm that you can deliver it.
  3. Test demand through direct conversations before large investments.
  4. Map requirements for your industry and location before launch.
