In this module, I’ll help you figure out a business you can start. And yes – you have something that other people want.

3 questions to ask.

  1. What is something you love doing?
  2. What is something you’re good at?
  3. What is something you enjoy doing?

Below are some questions to get you started:

  1. What would you do with 3 free hours this weekend?
  2. What comes easy to you that others find hard?
  3. What skills have you developed?
  4. What challenges have you overcome?
  5. What do friends ask you for help with?

First assignment

Come up with 20 business ideas. Don’t judge yourself, just write them down. The idea is to gather these ideas, then zoom down to the best one.

How to Find Your Strengths

One of the best ways to find out what you’re good at is to just ask someone else. Very often, we perceive ourselves differently from what we actually are.

For example, I often felt that I wasn’t good at producing music (I was a music producer in my past career). However, most of my friends saw me as a genius producer maestro. Clicking notes and making music on software seemed pretty basic to me, but to my friends, their brains were almost at an exploding point.

Here’s a script that will show you how to ask your friends:

“Hi friend, I’m doing a freelance course. My current assignment is to ask my friends a question If you had to point out 3 things I’m good at. What would you say? For example, I’d go to you for advice on Crypto investing. What would you go to me for?"

Second assignment

Ask your friends and document the process.

Put Your Ideas Through Certainty Test

By now, you should have at least 20 business ideas that you are excited about. Now, we’re going to put them through the certainty test – to see if they can be potential businesses.

I know we’re just making assumptions at this point. That’s OK for a start. If you like, you can take it further by asking your prospects to fish out real answers.

Use the Demand Matrix to Pick the Best Idea

Take your business ideas that pass the certainty test and map it on the Demand-Matrix. The Demand-Matrix helps you figure out how in demand your idea is and if you can pull in good profits for it.
