If you don't know, drinking from the firehose means that you are inundated with information and need to parse through and absorb it quickly. Most typically it occurs in a difficult course or changing jobs. Changing to starting your own company is no exception.
First order of business is almost always a business plan, but since I never "got" business plans I picked up my first For Dummies book, Business Plans Kit for Dummies. It's straightforward and reads like a work book, I'm finding it super useful so far.
Going through it is still exhausting and reminds me of a difficult college course, but it's worth it to pick up a new and highly needed skill.
I thought drinking from the firehose was the reward for finding the marble in the oatmeal.
