I don't know, whatever it is.
We're going to raise $2 million.
We're going to hire a bunch of programmers.
We're going to program this up over the next year.
And then we're going to start selling it to restaurants, our new software package to restaurants.
Well, that's a horrible execution idea.
How about instead...
You go, a friend of yours has a restaurant.
We go to that friend and say, listen, can we go from table to table this night and see if we can help everybody with their orders and we'll see, oh, everybody already had their preferences even before they got to the restaurant, they knew what they wanted to order.
So this is a bad idea.
So we shouldn't waste a year of our lives and $2 million of people's money and trying to raise the money to do this idea.
It's a bad idea.

Often when you try to break things down and do things manually, maybe it might not be the exact product, but you could usually test, do people even want this?
The hard thing about businesses, people already know, they've already filled up their 24 hours a day.
You and I and everybody listening, we already have things to do all 24 hours of the day.
When you start a new business, that means you're saying some people are going to do something new
in part of those 24 hours.
And that new includes a product that I create or service I invent or whatever.
And most people don't want anything new.
