Like you, I graduated from an Ivy League school and reeled in shock as I realized its true goal is to parcel away my future 80 hr./week at a time. However, until I read this book, I didn't have the marketing or business savvy to find a way to circumvent giving away at least a 40 hr./week. It seems your plan's key component, perhaps the most essential one, is to develop a good product. I've gleaned from reading this blog entry (and the book) that product generation comes naturally to you. But it doesn't for me. My biggest challenge so far is to develop a viable product. You've offered a couple of pages of good advice in the book, but I'm still drawing blanks. Would you (and other readers) mind suggesting some resources--books, websites, or others--that might help guide me through the process? I'm sure I can come up with a good idea, but I'm not finding the right questions to ask myself yet. With appreciation, Paul Tim,
