Andrew over at trizle has a great and very relevant question today: "Should you build that million dollar product if you’re starting up?".... A business that is making money, elegantly or not, builds credibility in the eyes of suppliers, customers, and employees, as well as self-confidence in the entrepreneur.This all expresses the simple business truth, small steps, simple products, niche markets, and low overheads.
