A Micro-ISV is essentially what we’re trying to be. Joel has some excellent points.

Number One. Don’t start a business
if you can’t explain what pain it solves, for whom, and
 why your product will eliminate this pain, and how the
 customer will pay to solve this pain.

Number Two. Don’t start a business 
by yourself. I know, there are lots of successful

one-person startups.

Number Three. Don’t expect much 
at first. People never know how much money they’re 
going to make in the first month when their product 
goes on sale.

This sort of thing would give most people nightmares.
