The 10-day challenge all culminates to this - getting traction! Traction refers to the progress a startup company makes often through revenue, pre-orders, or customer response. In today's episode, we talk about how to start gaining traction and what things you can tweak if you aren't getting any.

During the 40+ interviewees I've had on this show, there have been a lot of realizations I've drawn. Here are two big ones. One, set massive goals. Goals that make you uncomfortable because you don't know how you will complete them. We talked about this on Day 5, in Episode 63. Number two is to start small with the simplest, most basic prototype so that you can gain feedback from customers without needing to use excessive resources like time and money. Starting small with your first prototype is what we are diving into today on Day 9 of the 10-Day Bulb Into Business Challenge!

Without a community of potential customers interested in having their problem solved with your product or service, your business isn't going to get very far. I reflect back on my past experiences and the things I've learned from other founders on how to build a community of loyal fans by delivering value. 

Welcome to Day 8 of the Bulb Into Business Challenge! 10 episodes with actionable steps meant to take you from wherever you are in your startup journey (even if you haven't started yet) to getting your first customer.
