Nuggets:
- Don’t ask friends and family whether they like your idea. If they’re good friends, they’ll lie to you. Instead, ask them about their personal experiences.
- Listen with an open mind when hearing things you think you already know. Oftentimes, there’s much more depth to the idea than you’ve internalized.
Action Steps:
- Answer Joe’s guiding questions to understand what you really want from a business
- Choose your niche based on your interest and connections
- Talk with 30 members of that niche to understand their pain points
- Brainstorm solutions and ask prospects to pre-pay for them
