    Out of dozens of questions, only one is: "Have you thought about how you are going to turn a profit?" Not so sure about that then.

    I added a few more about burn rate and raising capital. If you have other suggestions, leave them here.

    What about the most important question: How is this going to be fun for you and the other people working on it?

    I think the time aspect is a massive and very underestimated part of starting your web business.Most people assume that business on the internet is somehow easier than in the real world. It isn't, its just different but still every bit as time consuming and hard work.

    You don't really need to know coding to be an entrepreneur. Scripts like wordpress and stuff make it easier.

    I propose starting unoficially without legal stuff and other bureucracy, becuase you don't know if this will work at all. If it works and you have money, you should start company or organization etc.

    Some quotes for you:
    The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

    It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness.

    There are three words I like to repeat to myself: glass half full. Just to remind myself to be grateful for everything I have.

    I can help with a piece of advice when it comes to talking about the payroll. If you want to have payroll without losses then hire a professional PEO manager. Hiring such a person will become imperative when your business will have at least 25 employees.

    I can see you covered it all pretty well, that's a good guideline for a business plan. I would have wanted it more expanded but even so things are clear for me. With all these points being considered some might thing that starting a business is not that difficult after all. It's now, the difficult part comes afterwords.
