Core Message

You can validate a business idea in 7 days instead of wasting months/years and lots of money on something that won’t work.

The goal is to either prove your idea is viable or fail fast and move on.

Key Principles 💡

• Your first idea doesn’t have to be your best idea – it’s okay to abandon bad ideas early
• Don’t be paranoid about sharing your idea – feedback is valuable
• Get an order BEFORE spending lots of money on development/setup
• Test everything until it breaks to find weaknesses early

The 7-Day Journey 📅

Day 1: Is This Really Me? 🤔

• Check if you have the entrepreneurial mindset
• Understand your “Power of Why” (deep motivation)
• Be ready for rejection and setbacks

Day 2: Does My Idea Work? ⚡

• Don’t aim for uniqueness, aim for being compelling
• Research your market thoroughly
• Define if it’s a hobby, lifestyle, or scalable business
