What It's About
A listener looks for feedback on an idea to sell a digital toolkit.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1218
Today’s listener has an idea to sell a toolkit to help sole proprietors become more efficient. What are the pros and cons of this idea? As a reminder, I too can fall into the habit of asking if something is a “good” idea, and generally speaking I don’t think that’s the most important characteristic when considering ideas. First, you don’t just want a good idea, you want a great idea. You want the best possible idea for you at this time. There are lots of good ideas … in fact, there’s a surplus of them. Second, “good” is a little generic. When you’re considering side hustle ideas, you want to focus on feasible, profitable ones. Do you see a clear path for where you are now and how this idea could make money in a relatively short period of time? That’s what you want to consider."Hi, Chris. This is Jair from Portland, Oregon. I love your show, even though I've just been listening to it recently. I'm thinking about starting a side hustle to help sole proprietors become more efficient in operating their business by providing them with a toolkit of templates and easy steps to improve their processes. I think it would be valuable to them, but since I don't know yet how to reach them. Do you think it is a good idea?"Listen to today's episode to learn more...
