  • Start with pretty much anything Seth Godin has written. Especially Purple Cow.

  • I'm a big fan of understanding cognitive issues, so Thinking Fast and Slow can help you understand how minds work.

  • to understand what CRM was really intended to be, read The One to One Future

  • Given your interest in digital check out these books on lean methodology: The Lean Startup and Ash Maurya's brilliant compliment, Running Lean

    In general, when it comes to things like SEO, SEM, etc you are better off sticking with blogs and content sites like SEOMoz, Marketing Sherpa, and Danny Sullivan/Search Engine World. By the time a book is written it's usually out of date in these fields.

Wazzup!

I am a huge fan of the Lean Startup methodology.

Basically, create the most basic version of your idea possible and then try to sell it to people. If they buy it, then iterate and make your product better.

That's how I started Fringe.

I thought- "I bet I could sell CrossFit equipment to people over the internet."

Then I thought, "What is the cheapest way I could test if people would buy gear from me online?"

Answer: throw up a Shopify store with one product and see if people buy.

So I bought some gymnastics rings, started a store on Shopify, and sold them.

Then I thought, "These people bought rings from me, would they buy kettlebells too?"

So I sourced kettlebells and sure enough, people bought.

In other words, I think your heart is in the right place, but I would advise a different approach.

I always tell people to be real hard nosed about whether they want to start a business or they just need an expensive hobby.

But, to answer your specific questions.

  • I literally draw up a shitty approximation of a design on graph paper (might I recommend these)

  • Send the design to my engineer (you can't use mine, but here is a place to start)

  • Find someone to proto for me (currently I use our partners), but for you I would look at welders or maker spaces in your area

    As for communities that can help, check out the Tropical MBA podcast- that can be a great jumping off point into the world of crazy ass entrepreneurs.
