Your Idea Isn’t the Business (And That’s a Good Thing)

💡 1. Big Idea, Made Simple

Your Idea Is Not Your Business. We know you love your idea—and that’s great. But here’s the truth: Ideas don’t make businesses. Execution does. Every successful founder knows this uncomfortable but freeing mindset shift: A great business starts with solving a real problem, not just building a cool idea.

Think of your idea as a draft, not the final script. You’ll shape it, test it, break it, and rebuild it—maybe more than once.

✨ SharkThink Tip: Instead of asking “How do I make this idea work?”, Ask: “What’s the fastest way to find out if anyone will pay for this?”

Talk to 5 People Before You Build Anything

Before you design a product, build a landing page, or write a single line of code—talk to 5 potential customers. Ask them:

• What are they currently using?

• What frustrates them most?

• How are they solving the problem now?

This 30-minute exercise can save you months of wasted work.

We call this: Validation, not vibes.
