Today I am answering a question from a listener who has multiple business ideas but doesn't know which one to pursue. In today's episode, I'm sharing how I've used the wrong ideas in the past and reveal the 6-step process I now follow when making decisions.

- Why unique ideas are not always the best ideas—or what people actually want.
- Why starting with the market you intend to sell to and brainstorming (their problems and solutions) is the first step.
- The power of 1:1 client research to gain insight into their problems and what they need.
- The importance of brainstorming for potential solutions to their most pressing problems.
- Why testing your idea is a crucial step in the decision-making process.
