FROM IDEA TO FIRST STEPS
Give your idea a clearer way forward.
Bring the idea, the questions and the uncertainty. Work through the foundations of a business one decision at a time.
SEE WHAT SUPPORT COULD LOOK LIKE
A real-world question.
A useful way forward.
YOU COULD ASK
“I want to offer bookkeeping to local tradespeople. How can I test the idea before spending money on a website?”
AN EXAMPLE GURU RESPONSE
Start by testing the problem, not building the website. Let’s find out which admin jobs take up their evenings and whether they would pay for help.
Illustrative example, not a live conversation. Your guru would adapt its guidance to your business.
A DRAFT TO WORK FROM
A one-week idea test
- Speak to five local tradespeople about how they handle their books today.
- Draft one small offer around the problem that comes up most often.
- Invite two people to discuss a paid pilot, then review what you learn.
WHAT YOU COULD LEAVE WITH
A customer interview guide, a first offer and a small test you can run this week.
Make it about your business.
Bring your own question. Work through the options, then choose your next step.
