What is the “Crusader Rule”?

“The zealous display the strength of their belief, while the judicious show the grounds of it.”William Shenstone, eighteenth-century poet and landscape designer

Key Points:

  • There’s huge difference between an interesting idea and a solid business. Remember that you have to be able to pay the bills!
  • It’ okay if some ideas don’t have enough market support. Side-projects are valuable too, as long as you cover your finances first.
  • It’s crucial to be objective and analyze the idea before committing to it. This is where the Ten Ways to Evaluate the Market can help you.

    Questions for Consideration:

    • Is your idea really a viable business, or would it make a better side project?
