Staggering but true = Amount of new technology that seasoned execs need to process, assimilate and execute is STAGGERING.
This is the problem.
Solving it is profitable.
As undergrads, solving this problem nets you a portion of the savings. If you’re an undergrad, you should set the goal to break even.

The road to $600,000 #ENGR145 stops by $300. Going $0-600k goes by 300! #ZeroPt6

This is a pattern I see that everyone else sees too. But verrrry few can solve it. I see the pattern that just getting your first $300 in revenue really, really helps. Selling that first seasoned executive really helps.
There are a lot of excuses to not get to your first $300.
