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)

Headed to NYC today to celebrate my sister’s 50th… typing this from the airport while knocking out a little work before wheels up. Here’s the cool part about building a business on your terms: Life doesn’t have to stop. Family doesn’t have to stop. Travel doesn’t have to stop. You get to bring your work with you in a way that supports your life instead of replacing it. Tomorrow I’ll see the big tree at 30 Rock… maybe I’ll send another selfie.
