How many steps will I have to climb or will it be more like cliff jumping?

Having decided that I'm going to take the plunge with some new projects, now the grizzly task of deciding which one goes first and working out the steps to get there. This is a real risk v reward task which I'm not perfectly attuned to. I much prefer the suck it an see version, but that often leaves me with more egg on my face so I'll do the planning this time!

The first question I need to ask myself ( and you need to ask yourself) is what am I prepared to do to get this project under way?

What are the steps?
How many are there of them?
How long will it take?
Where am I now?
...and very importantly what will I get from it at the end?

In my case, the steps aren't too many as the product exists, but it is a crowded market place which will be difficult to stand out in and there are many specialists in the area (Any ideas what it is yet?) However, there are many pluses. I already use the product, I know it works, I know there is huge growth in the market and most importantly of all - It's not what you have - it's how you do it! (Keep it clean now please guys!)

Stage one passed with a tick and it blasts out the other projects! By the way the first person to guess what the project is gets it free for a year (now if that isn't a clue, I don't know what is!)

So what step are you on and how feasible is it for you to do it. Don't forget you must not take your eye off your main revenue earning ball - This is a project...so far....
