SUMMARY:Validating Your Business
DESCRIPTION:How do you measure success?\n\nYou have an idea for a business or a product. You think it would work. But how do you know? Finding out if people really want what you're offering as early as possible is critical to business success. Taking time to validate your business or product idea with your target customers can save you from wasting time and money on an idea the market doesn't want. Creating a way to measure your success from the beginning can help you better utilize your resources to get to profitability more quickly.\n\n \n\nJoin SBDC Manager\, Eric Byrd\, for a useful discussion about how to determine if your target market is eager for your solution  or not. Drawing lessons from the Lean Startup methodology you will learn how to craft questions and test your idea with real customers. Measuring their response can help you craft the right plan for the right product or service so you're more likely to succeed and build a profitable business.\n\n questions about establishing and validating your business concept? \n\n\n\nSmall Business Week Goal:\n\nEducate
