Here’s How to Validate Your Online Business Idea. Stop Guessing.
Once you've picked your online business we want to make sure it’s actually worth building. Most people skip this step. That’s why they end up wasting months creating something nobody asked for. Not happening here. Here’s the simple validation process I teach all my clients. No funnels. No landing pages. No tech and absolutely NO overthinking. We get real data from real people. STEP 1 - Get your idea into one simple sentence If you can’t say your idea clearly, nobody else can either. Use this: “I help [specific person] fix [specific problem].” Example: “I help tired moms simplify dinner with 10-minute meal systems.” Keep it boringly clear. STEP 2 - Talk to real humans (yes… actual conversations) You’re not pitching. You're not selling. You're checking for demand. Send this message to 10–20 people who either ARE your niche or know someone who is: “Hey! I’m working on something to help people who struggle with ____. Is that something you deal with? Or know someone who does?” That’s it. Light. Easy. Human. STEP 3 - Ask these 4 questions Let them talk. Let them use their own words. This is where you discover everything. Here are the only questions you need: 1. Do you struggle with this? 2. How big of a problem is this for you? 3. What have you already tried that didn’t work? 4. If someone gave you a simple step-by-step to fix it, would you want it? If they say yes, and they clearly feel the pain…that’s validation. STEP 4 - Look for 3-5 “YES” responses That’s all you need. If 3–5 people: - confirm the problem - talk about it in detail - want a solution The idea is valid and you can move forward. You don’t need 100 calls. You don’t need surveys. You don’t need a website. You don’t need perfection. You just need signal. STEP 5 - Move to the outline stage Once your idea is validated, you’re ready for two things: - Creating a simple outline - Building your first version (PDF, guide, mini-training, whatever fits your skills)

Validating now. Did some similar checking, but it wasn't just like this, so yeah... Validating now.
🚀 New AI Prompt: Your Fastest Path to $1K (Use This Today)
Hey everyone… I just released a new YouTube video walking through a killer AI prompt that helps you figure out your fastest, simplest path to your first $1K online using the skills you already have. I’m not linking the video here (YouTube algorithm stuff)… But here’s the full prompt exactly like I promised in the video. Use it… post your results… ask questions… let this community help you move faster. 🔥 THE “Fastest Path to $1K” Prompt (Copy/paste this into ChatGPT and add your details) PROMPT: I want you to act like a business strategist who specializes in helping overthinkers quickly identify their fastest path to making their first $1,000 online using the skills and experience they already have. Here are my details: • My work experience: [paste yours] • My skills (hard + soft): [paste yours] • Problems I’ve solved for people (at work or in life): [paste yours] • Topics people naturally come to me for advice on: [paste yours] • My personality strengths or tendencies: [paste yours] • What I want from an online business (time, freedom, lifestyle): [paste yours] Using this information, give me: My #1 most monetizable skill or strength Explain it in one clear sentence so an overthinker can understand it. The specific person who would pay for that skill Describe the exact niche (not broad — as specific as possible). The #1 problem that person wants solved immediately Make it concrete, urgent, and outcome-based. A simple offer I can sell for $100–$300 TODAY Fast version, minimal steps, zero tech. Name the offer, describe what it includes, and how I deliver it. A $1,000 “fast upgrade” version of the same offer Show how the same skill can be packaged into a higher-value version with 1–2 added elements. A 3-step plan to get my first paying customer in 48 hours No funnels. No platforms. No audience required. Write a short message I can send to 10 people I know right now Message should validate demand and spark conversations. END OF PROMPT

People should know that the prompt can be refined after the initial reply. I keep refining it and I think I'm nearing the exact path to start. Starting down the wrong path is very counter productive and it just leads to another something tried and abandoned...

Oh, I can guarantee the path won't look the same in a short while! Just had to do some customization due to my oddball niche 🙂!
⭐ 5 Reasons Most People Pick the Wrong Online Business (And What to Do Instead)
Most people don’t pick the wrong business because they’re dumb… They pick the wrong business because the internet is VERY good at selling you a fantasy. Here are the five big mistakes I see every single day 👇 1. They chase trends instead of their strengths. They’re hunting for the silver bullet. The magic shortcut. The “$10K/month in 90 days working 2 hours a day” crap. They fall for slick marketing → buy another course → get nowhere. Meanwhile…the skill they’ve been doing for YEARS sits untouched. That’s the thing that could actually make them money. 2. They try to learn a brand-new skill from scratch. You’ve got a 9–5. You’ve got a family. You’ve got maybe 5-10 hours a week to build something. Learning a brand-new skill from zero? That’s weeks or months of work before you can even start. It’s the slowest path possible. Your fastest path is always the same: Take what you already know… and take it to market. 3. They underestimate the skills they already have. You do something every day that someone else finds impossible. You just take it for granted. You might think: “Nobody would pay for this.” WRONG. I talked to someone today whose audience doesn’t even know how to use ChatGPT. Something I do in my sleep. Same for you: Excel, organizing, workflows, communication, leadership, decision-making - people will pay for things you barely think about. 4. They choose a model that doesn’t match their available time. This one wrecks people. They lead with MONEY instead of aligning the business model with their LIFE. “I’m making $5K/month… I hate my job… just tell me how to replace my income fast.” I did this with my first business (real estate). I just wanted OUT. And you know what I created? A business that gave me less freedom than my 9-5. If you don’t start with your vision, your ideal day, and your actual bandwidth, your business will own you instead of freeing you. 5. They copy someone else’s business and hope it works for them. Look, all businesses have problems.

Number 2... I enjoy learning new skills, but learning one with the goal and focus of creating a new income stream is stressful at best and is generally disastrous. Learn a new skill for the joy of doing what you want! It should be noted that this is not the same scenerio as training for a career change due to changes outside our control.

I have worked with Chat GPT for a while now, so it already has a good grasp on my technical reach. I know that I could helm mechanics, but the 2 problems I have with it is that it is a difficult niche to break into without a gimmick, and the fact that although I am really good at it I am burning out. My passion is prototyping and alternative propulsion. I have working concepts that are fully teachable so that is the one it is suggesting. I am working toward that end (Chat GPT was not involved with that until now). GPT's suggested tag line would be something like "Practical Propulsion Prototyping for DIY Innovators".

@Brian O'Neill I'm releasing a mini offer this week, advertising on YouTube via a CTA in a video. Another offer to be released shortly after. I like the Skool program idea, I think it's in my very near future!
What’s the Best Online Business for YOU? Here’s the Fastest Way to Find Out.
This is the #1 question people ask me every single week: “What online business should I start?” The truth? There isn’t ONE “best” business. There’s only the best business for YOU, based on your skills, experience, and strengths. Here’s the 3-step filter I’ve used to help 200+ people figure this out (and what finally helped me escape after 26 failed tries): 1️⃣ Start with the skills you already have If you’ve been working 5, 10, or 20+ years, you already have sellable skills. Most people overlook them because they seem “normal” to them. Ask yourself: What problems do people come to me for help with? 2️⃣ Pick the business model that matches your personality Some people like coaching. Some like teaching. Some like creating. Some like behind-the-scenes work. Your model must match your energy, not someone else’s. 3️⃣ Validate before you build anything A business is NOT an idea. It’s a problem + a person willing to pay to solve it. Test that before you create a logo, website, or offer. My question to you: What skills do you already have that people ask you for help with? Drop them below. I’ll help you narrow it down.
