Million Dollar Weekend
by Noah Kagan
The surprisingly simple way to launch a 7-figure business in 48 hours. No funding. No experience. Just action.
48 hours to your first business
The process Noah used to start 7 businesses that each passed $1 million.
Friday evening
Find your idea
Write down problems you and people around you already pay to fix, then pick the one you can test fastest.
Saturday
Get your first customer
Before building anything, ask real people to pay. Even $1 from a stranger tells you more than a month of planning.
Sunday
Launch fast
Ship the smallest version that delivers the result, even if you do it by hand, and improve it with what customers tell you.
After the weekend
Grow what works
Once people keep paying, automate the repetitive parts and grow the channel that brought your first customers.
7 businesses past $1M
Meet Noah Kagan
Noah Kagan is the founder and CEO of AppSumo.com, a platform that has helped over 1 million entrepreneurs start and grow their businesses.
Before AppSumo, Noah was employee #30 at Facebook and #4 at Mint.com. But he was fired from Facebook before the IPO that would have made him $100+ million.
That failure taught him the most important lesson: you don't need permission to start. You just need to start.
