Origins

A friend asked me one day : "I want to quit my job and create my own business, what do I do next?" I asked him if he had an idea, he said "Of course, I have plenty of them!" I replied "Choose one, work on it until you've got a plan to market, then we'll talk about it." He changed job and gave up on his startup dream. Too bad.

Duration so far

The idea came up in June 2012.
