How does everybody start?

I recently had a couple ideas come across my path. Nothing paid but an opportunity to build in public. Something that could give me some traction. My problem is doing as Jake recommends and asking the questions.

I’m not sure where to start.one of them a neighbor works for a company that makes installed blinds and yachts. All they have for a tool is quickbooks he asked how difficult it would be to set something up to help him with scheduling the workers to go to the installs, verify the yacht is where is supposed to be, texting the info to workers, etc. I’m not sure all how he does things now and that’s my roadblock. I’m not sure if I want to take it on?

I’m thinking a simple workflow, but I don’t know how I would collect and store the information? Keep it all marked down so all the employee information and phone number his contact information or maybe store it in some kind of database somewhere, tap into QuickBooks? But that I would even know where to begin. I was even thinking maybe using some API to tap into the yachts transponder to see where it actually is to verify it is where they’re saying it is. Not sure of ideas I’m short of questions and solutions.
