My new system i will be following before I start building anything, if it doesn't meet all of these steps it will not be built. This system filters ideas before you spend time building them. Step 1: Problem Start with the problem, not the tool. Ask: What specific frustration does this solve? If the problem is vague, the idea usually fails. Example: “People feel overwhelmed using AI tools.” Step 2: Person Who exactly has this problem? Not “everyone.” Example: “Solo creators trying to start an online business.” When the person is clear, the solution becomes clearer. Step 3: Proof Is someone already paying to solve this? Look for: • existing tools • courses • paid communities • services If money is already changing hands, the market exists. Step 4: Version 1 What is the smallest thing that solves the problem? Not the perfect product. Example: Instead of a full AI platform, start with: “A simple AI workflow template.” Version 1 proves demand. Step 5: Distribution Where will people find it? Many ideas fail because this part is ignored. Examples: Skool X Instagram Email list Communities An idea without distribution stays invisible. Step 6: Time Cap How long will you allow yourself to build it? Example: 3 days 7 days 14 days If the build takes months, you’re probably overbuilding. The goal of this system Not every idea gets built. Only ideas that pass all six checks. This keeps creativity focused instead of scattered.

Text Blaze Text Blaze is a browser extension. It lets you create shortcuts that expand into full text automatically. Example: You type: /welcome It instantly turns into your full welcome message. No copying. No searching notes. No rewriting. Where it becomes powerful: You can create shortcuts for: Welcome messages FAQs Sales replies Booking confirmations Email responses Skool comments Application responses It works anywhere you type in a browser. Now here’s the advanced part: You can add dynamic fields. So when you trigger it, it asks: Name? Date? Offer? It customises the message instantly. Why this matters: Most people are repeating themselves manually. If you write the same thing more than twice, it should be a shortcut. This isn’t “AI magic.” It’s quiet efficiency. Simple tool. Massive time saver. What do you type repeatedly every week that could become a shortcut?

Most people over-explain in text. Long messages. Back and forth replies. Paragraph after paragraph. When a 2-minute video would solve it. Loom lets you record your screen and your voice. You can: Walk someone through a process Explain an offer clearly Give feedback faster Show instead of tell It builds trust quicker because people hear you. It saves time because you stop typing essays. And it reduces confusion because they can see exactly what you mean. If you find yourself writing more than 5 paragraphs… Record it instead. What’s something you keep explaining in text that could be a 2-minute video?
