Nuggets:

• We’re again reminded that you don’t need to solve the problem for everyone. Different people will have different goal setting tools & tactics that resonate with them. Helping a small percentage of those struggling with goal setting could still be massively valuable.

Action Steps:

1. Research habit and goal experts and offer to partner with them on development of a goal achievement app
2. Pursue the enterprise market: contact sales teams and offer to help them meet their sales quotas for free. Get a case study and charge for the next team.
3. Start by shadowing one sales team that has sales objectives of $50K+ per month. Ask for a token $50 per month to validate the app value.
4. After a month or two of noting how objectives get set and achieved and what leads to failure and success, document the systems that seem to help and start to implement them. 
5. Raise a couple hundred thousand in investment to fund development of your basic app, test and iterate with your existing group and add 4 more.
6. Raise 1M more and launch to a wider audience within a year or two.
