Like others said, use odesk or elance to grab initial clients, then move them over to something like voomly for subscription-based payments to support them via email, etc.

From what I understand the "46" is a shout-out to their supplier, because it is the product number of the wood staves used in the finishing process....

I don't know....a "makers mark single barrel" would have had pretty high standards and a really "me too" feel.

I'll stick by my argument that self-imposed restrictions can really help people get innovative and avoid the me-too traps of entrepreneurship.

Fail fast was just a side benefit. The point I was trying to make was to force yourself into creative and innovative solutions.

You may be right there....I don't know if you could park a block away and walk into the McD's that day, but I do know no one would lol :)

I'm the original author of this. And just to clarify a few points:

1. This really happened. 2. It was done on purpose by the owner. 3. They did normally close one day per year for repaving/repairs...and Wendy's did announce their grand opening well in advance.

Thanks,

Andy Swan
