Great post. I think one key to the whole program are the weekly deadlines. And of course the big deadlines. It's the same as not having a boatload of startup cash. It forces you to figure out what is really important.

The trick is, deadline only work if there are consequences. There can only be consequences if you feel accountable to someone or something. So, tell someone you're going to accomplish something by a certain date.

I'm going to contact 25 potential customers next week.
