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)

This may come off as a copout but my idea is "I help salespeople overcome fear so they can be more consistent and close more sales". I'm not sure I need to do the validation step. As a 35 year salesperson, manager and sales trainer, I've seen all of the fears that eat people alive and ruin otherwise promising careers and I've seen how readily people will throw money at training without ever addressing the underlying fears that cause the training to never be implemented in the field.

YouTube question
Hey all, brand new here. I'm working on an overall business where I'll provide a number of different services, all centered around resilience (mental toughness). My initial Skool group will be coaching salespeople in this area. I want to use Youtube to bring people into my Skool group but also want to use YT for other target markets for my topic of resilience as well. Should I plan long term to have separate YT channel for my Skool Group?
💡 Step 0: Declare Your Idea (Do This First)
Before you watch anything in the classroom, do this first. Most people who join this community have the same problem: Too many ideas. I know because I started 26 side hustles in 14 years before I finally figured out what works. The goal here is simple: Stop spinning. Pick one direction. Test it for 30 days. Not forever. Just one idea to test next. Your Step 0 Action Comment below with this: I want to help [who] solve [problem]. Examples: • I want to help remote workers fix neck pain • I want to help busy parents plan healthy meals • I want to help real estate agents generate more leads It doesn’t have to be perfect. It just needs to be something you're considering building. When you say something out loud, you force a decision. And decisions create momentum. Most people stay stuck because they keep researching instead of choosing. After you comment 👇 Go to the Classroom → Start Here and continue with: Step 1 🧭 Pick Your Direction That’s where we’ll narrow this down and turn it into something real. Drop your idea below 👇 Let's see what you're thinking. - Brian 🔥
