You've got an idea. Maybe it's been brewing for a while, a quiet thought while you're doing dishes or walking the dog. Or maybe it hit you like a bolt of lightning. Either way, that idea needs to become something real, something you can sell from your kitchen table. This isn't about grand plans or venture capital. It's about making your first sale, proving your idea has legs, and doing it all without leaving your home. This chapter helps you nail down exactly what you're selling.
