Step 1: Validate Your Vision – From Dream to Reality
●Idea Validation: Your brainchild might be brilliant, but is it market-ready? Conduct thorough research. Analyze industry trends, identify your target audience, and assess the competitive landscape. Remember, a unique idea alone isn’t enough; it needs to address a real need or offer a compelling solution.
●Customer Feedback: Talk to your potential customers. Understand their pain points, preferences, and willingness to pay. Surveys, interviews, and focus groups are your allies in understanding their needs. Remember, their feedback is gold, shaping your product or service offering.
