A page from the guide
Give your idea a question to answer
An idea becomes easier to work with when you turn it into a specific question. Instead of asking whether your business will succeed, ask what you need to learn next. Perhaps you need to understand a customer’s problem or test whether your explanation is clear. Write down your assumption, the evidence you would look for and one small action that could help you learn more.
Turn ideas into deliberate action.
Aspiring entrepreneurs and early-stage business owners who want a practical way to approach new ideas.
