Your idea?
Here's what I need (spoiler: not much)
I’ve written about the myths holding you back and how an idea becomes a tool. What’s left is the most practical question: “what should I have ready before we talk?”. Less than you’d think.
Tell me where it hurts
One sentence is enough: “every Monday I spend three hours on this” or “I lose orders because I reply too slowly”. You don’t need to know the solution. The problem, in your own words, is 80% of the work.
Show me how you do it today
Your Excel, your notebook, the three programs you juggle to get the job done. Your current flow, however “rough” it feels to you, is the best spec there is. That’s where the steps, the exceptions, and the breaking points show themselves.
Think about what you don’t want to change
It matters as much as what you do want. If invoicing works fine in the program you already have, we don’t touch it. We build what’s missing, not everything from scratch.
Don’t bring
Specs, technical studies, “market research”, jargon you read up on to look prepared. None of it helps. A rough description from the person who lives the problem every day is worth more than twenty pages of technical writing.
And then?
Ten minutes of conversation is enough to see if it makes sense. If it does, we proceed the way I described here. If it doesn’t, I’ll tell you honestly and you’ve lost nothing. Start here.
