Hello! 🙋‍♂️

Let’s try to think outside the box and come up with multiple solutions to a problem we’ve uncovered.

We all have tunnel vision.

I think it is time to explore that there may be MANY possible solutions and business models for you to run with.

Let’s see what we can find 💡

• Head to www.validatorai.com 

• Think of the market that you are looking to launch a business in. Let’s say, it’s the domain name industry.
  

• Enter this prompt into our AI:
  
  

  🤖 What do you think is the biggest problem facing buyers in the [domain name industry]?

  
  (replace domain name industry with the market you’re looking to enter).
  
  

• Val AI will list several problems in your market.
  

• The one I want to focus on that the AI mentioned is:  Limited Availability of Good Domain Names.

  
  

  

• This is a problem I have always wanted to solve, and I was convinced that some sort of premium domain sharing program might be the answer.
  

• 💻 Take your problem and go back to the validatorai.com homepage and ask the AI this:

  
  🤖 Please give me 5 ideas of businesses I could start to solve the problem of [limited good domain names are available].

  
  (again, enter your own problem in replacement of mine above).

🔍 Turns out, there are several things I need to consider. But this is a good starting point.

☝ The point is:

1️⃣ Do NOT box yourself into one solution.

2️⃣ There are always multiple ways to solve a problem.

3️⃣ It’s important to talk to your target audience and uncover what the major problem is.

4️⃣ Once you have several solutions for the problem go back to the target audience and present them.

5️⃣ Look for great early signals (expressions of interest, readiness to order) and get serious about the idea that seems to resonate the most.

🚶‍♀️ This is a JOURNEY. You have to begin by taking a single step forward.

That’s it for today. I hope this motivates you to get moving.
