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.
