Validate Your Business Ideas Before You Spend a Cent

Why Most Ideas Fail
Great ideas feel exciting — until reality sets in.
Many fail because they’re launched on gut feeling alone, without testing the problem, the solution, or the audience.
That’s where an Idea Journal can save you time, money, and frustration.
The Idea Journal Method
Our Idea Journal course guides you through a daily process of testing and refining your concepts.
Each entry prompts you to explore:
The problem you’re solving (is it real and urgent?).
Your solution (does it fit the problem?).
Market signals (are people already looking for this?).
Next actions (what you’ll test tomorrow).
Instead of guessing, you’re making data-backed moves — even if that “data” comes from quick conversations, online searches, or mini-experiments.
The Graduation Goal
You can keep your idea journal running forever — many entrepreneurs do.
But to graduate, you must hit a perfect 6-day streak:
Six days in a row where every entry maxes out all six idea validation skill scores.
That means thoroughly defining the problem, matching it with a solution, checking market fit, testing it in reality, analyzing results, and adjusting for tomorrow — all at your highest standard.
Why It Works
Clarity: You’ll know exactly where your idea stands at any moment.
Speed: You’ll avoid wasting months on dead-end concepts.
Focus: You’ll spot which ideas deserve your time and which should be parked.
Benefits You’ll Notice
You’ll make decisions faster.
You’ll get comfortable testing instead of assuming.
You’ll be more confident when sharing your idea with others.
You’ll avoid the trap of “building in secret” with no feedback.
