Today's question comes from Tyler, who has a question about what to do if you have a great business idea but don't have the necessary funds to get started. How do you validate your business idea before spending money? What are a few strategies to get your business running without having to go into debt?

In this episode, I mention Will It Fly?, my book about validating your business idea, which you can get at http://willitflybook.com. I mention crowdfunding options like Kickstarter, which you can find at http://www.kickstarter.com/. And I mention my niche site, Green Exam Academy (http://www.greenexamacademy.com/).
