I make the ultimate travel backpack.
On a given day, I might be giving notes to our factory on the latest sample, writing a post for our blog, hiring a designer to create an infographic, and pitching a travel magazine on writing about us. No day is typical or repeated. Every day has unique challenges.
Here's the first step for professionals
Find out what problems people are having and solve them. If you do that, people will be willing to pay you. Once they are, turn your solution into a product and your product into a business. If you build a product too early, you risk building something people don't want. Validate first, then build.
