If you haven’t started your online business yet…it’s probably not because you “don’t have ideas.” It’s because you have too many. You’ve basically built a junk drawer of side hustles: - Half-finished funnels - Random courses you bought - PDFs you started - Offers you “kind of” launched then forgot about Over time, that junk drawer starts to feel like a second full-time job… and nobody wants that. I know this life a little too well. Over about 15 years, I started and quit 26 different side hustles. The 27th one finally worked… and I still managed to screw that one up. Number 28 is going pretty well so far. So this post is the process I wish someone had handed me back when my junk drawer was overflowing. If you follow it, you’ll stop managing 17 ideas… and finally move forward with one business you can actually build. Step 1: Pick an area of interest… not a “perfect idea” Most people try to pick the perfect business idea on Day 1. That’s why they stay stuck. Instead, start with something much lighter: Pick an area of interest or topic you know well. Something you could talk about for 20 minutes without notes: - A problem you’ve solved for yourself - A skill from your 9–5 - A life transformation you went through - A hobby you’re weirdly good at You do not need the final offer yet. You just need a direction. If you have no clue what topic to choose, go into the Start Here course in the Classroom and take all of the lessons. It will give you legit business ideas based on what you already know how to do… in under 15 minutes. Step 2: Open a free Skool community around that topic Once you have a topic, you don’t go build a course or a funnel. You open a free Skool group around that topic instead. Give it a simple name. Write a basic About section: who it’s for, what problem you want to help with, and a simple invite like: “I don’t have this all figured out yet. You’re going to help me build it.”

Reminder: Please read this post and vote. I started this community less than two months ago and we are already up to 172 members. This has all been organic. No ads. And I'm an ads guy. I've made money from this community in two ways. 1. Affiliates 2. Upgrades Several members have started their own Skool communities using my affiliate link. Because I show you how. Thank you! Several members have moved to Mindset Skool as the logical next step. This community teaches you what business to start + the direction. Mindset Skool helps you implement. People are finding this community from my YouTube channel and Skool. Whether from my activities in Skoolers or people coming to Skool and searching. This community shows up in search when you type in "online business". You can build a profitable community around your idea as long as it's: 1. A real problem/need for the market 2. Simple to explain 3. Simple for the customer to execute on You don't need to know everything about your audience right away. You can use a free skool community to bring the audience together and learn from them. Then build the offer based on their feedback and common responses. It's how I built Mindset Skool from zero to 280+ members in under 9 months. Thank you all for being here. Half of January is already over. Don't wait another day. 2027 will be here in a heartbeat.
