This is one of the main problems with new startup entrepreneurs: They spend months writing a business plan for something that may or may not work (what a waste of time). Do small and clever promotions and you will find out in a couple of days if this will work or not.
YES! This is fantastic advice. I see so many of my friends/collegues spending months/years on a business plan before they have any idea if it will work.
