How Can You Test 100 Business Ideas in Just 30 Days?
97 out of 100 ideas are trash. Here’s a tested framework that will help you find a good one:
- Filter ideas in 60 seconds with 4 questions: Can you explain it? Do you have this problem? Would you pay? Who else needs this?
- Google your problem to check if people search for it, what competition exists and if it’s discussed on Reddit
- Talk to 5 people in 48 hours because if they won’t discuss the problem, they won’t pay for a solution
