Find out if anyone will pay me — before I start a business

Two weeks, one service, one price, a card and a page — then a real job invoiced and paid, or an honest no that cost you almost nothing.

What to ask

Help me pick the one service I'm going to sell. I'll tell you what I'm thinking; push me to narrow it until it's a single job I could deliver next week with what I already own or can borrow — not a menu, and not a whole company. Ask me what I'd have to buy to do it, and if the answer is anything expensive, help me find the version that borrows, rents, or subcontracts instead. Then write the one-line version — what I do, for whom — into my Company Description plan section with update_business_plan.
