It’s the Final Countdown! Just two weeks from today, on February 1st, Will It Fly? will officially launch. After months of hard work and anticipation, I am so proud to finally share this book with you.
But you won’t have to wait until February 1st to order your very own copy. Will It Fly? is now available for pre-order—with some very special bonuses for folks who order a copy (or three, or ten, or more!) in advance.
Why I Had to Write Will It Fly?
The idea of this book wouldn’t leave my mind. I kept thinking about people wasting so much time, energy, and money trying things that would never succeed—waste that could have been prevented had these business owners taken the time to validate their business idea at the beginning.
In fact, the #1 question I’ve received, both via email and in voicemails for AskPat is:
How do I know if what I’m working on will pay off?
After eight years of helping entrepreneurs start and improve their businesses, I have literally worked with entrepreneurs on thousands of ideas. I can say with confidence that this is the book new entrepreneurs need most.
Will It Fly? How to Test Your Next Business Idea So You Don’t Waste Your Time and Money will teach you how to validate your ideas. In other words, this book is designed to help you determine if your idea for your business will succeed, or if it will struggle and ultimately fail.
Will It Fly? takes you and your ideas through extensive exercises to determine:
- Does your business idea have merit?
- Will it succeed in the market you’re trying to serve, or
- Will it just be a waste of time and resources? and
- Is it a good idea for you?
In other words, will it fly?
