Über diesen Titel

 We've all had them, those brilliant flashes of inspiration that feel like they could change everything. But here's what I've learnt after working with hundreds of business owners: having a good idea is only about 5% of the journey. The real magic happens in what we do next. In this episode, I'm walking you through exactly how to take that spark of inspiration and turn it into something real, something that creates impact for your customers and revenue for your business. Because the biggest risk isn't that your idea won't work, it's that it would have worked brilliantly, but you never gave it a chance. What You'll Learn in This Episode How to Capture and Clarify Your Ideas I share my process for capturing ideas before they slip away, including how I utilise AI and voice memos to ensure no brilliant thought joins the graveyard of good intentions. The Validation Process That Actually Works Forget elaborate market research. I'll show you how having conversations with just five potential customers can tell you everything you need to know about whether your idea has legs. Why Starting Small Is Your Secret Weapon Learn why trying to build the entire cathedral instead of starting with a single brick is where most business owners go wrong, and how my client tested Finance Fridays for under $100 (AUD). How to Scale With Purpose From workshops to preventive maintenance services, I share real examples of business owners who grew their ideas from one or two people into thriving revenue streams, and the exact steps they took to achieve this success. Addressing the Fear That Kills Good Ideas What if it's not good enough? What if I fail? Let's tackle these head-on and reframe what failure actually means when you're testing at a small scale. Key Takeaway Your idea probably isn't as original as you think, and that's actually brilliant news. Your job isn't to invent something completely new. It's to do it better, differently, or more specifically for the customers you serve. Great businesses aren't built on perfect ideas. They're built on good ideas that someone actually put into action. Action Step Take that idea that's been nagging at you and don't let it join the graveyard of good intentions. Write it down, clarify what problem it solves, ring three potential customers this week and have a conversation about it. Then take the smallest step possible to test whether it has merit. Real-World Examples From This Episode - The accountant who created Finance Fridays to teach financial literacy - The plumber offering emergency preparation visits - The boutique owner doing wardrobe audits - The gardener running garden education sessions Each of these started small, validated the idea, and grew with purpose. None of them changed the world, but they all made their businesses more valuable to their customers.

I'd love to hear about the ideas you're working on. Share this episode with another business owner who has a brilliant idea sitting in their 'someday' folder. Your customers are waiting for solutions that you might have already thought of. The question isn't whether you're capable of having good ideas because you are. The question is, what will you do with the next one?
