Is being passionate about your product or service enough to warrant starting a business? What about skill or quality – if your product or service is ‘the best’, does that mean you should start a business selling it?

A successful business requires more than just passion, skill and an amazing product or service.

Paul Sweeney (Pretium Solutions) looks at what you need to do before you start a business. How can you make sure you will have customers who will buy your product or service? Who will your customers be? How will you reach them?

The key here is to make sure you do your research, first.

Here are links to the books Paul mentions in the podcast:
