How do people come up with good startup ideas?
👍 How do you even know if your idea is any good? (we’ll cover that tomorrow!)
We’ve learned it comes down to answering 3 simple questions — plus we made a free AI tool to put this into motion for you.
The 3 Questions You Should Be Asking Yourself…
(our idea generator uses these same questions)
1. What Resources Do You Have?
The point: By starting with what you already have (skills, tools, audience, experience), you're grounding your idea in reality. It makes the idea instantly more actionable and helps avoid overreaching.
We ask this because you should have some sort of unique insight, unfair advantage or connections in the market you want to enter.
Have a great network? Awesome!
Have previous experience that gives you insights that no one else has? Perfect!
Perhaps you have access to capital — or unique skills — SOMETHING that others do not.
This is a great place to start from!
2. What problem do you want to solve?
The point: If you’re not clear on the pain point, the solution will miss the mark. This question ensures the idea has a purpose beyond just "sounding cool"… it forces you to think clearly.
What does everyone complain about?
What is something that is the standard in this market that you are completely sick of?
Is something inefficient? Wasteful? Too expensive? Too complicated?
This question is a must ask / answer.
3. Who needs this solution?
The point: Even a great solution is worthless if no one wants it. Identifying who benefits most ensures your idea has a real audience. This question turns the focus from "what you want to build" to "who you're building for."
Who is your target market?
Are you sure they need this?
Can you find them and ask them?
Are they business owners? Frequent shoppers? Busy professionals? Job hunters?
Narrow it down to a very specific group of people that you can easily reach.
😊 We made an idea generator that asks you these 3 questions, and then provides 10 amazing startup ideas — in 5 seconds!
🚀 Find it here:
Click the I Don’t Have an Idea button on our homepage.
Our free idea generator will pop up… simply answer the 3 questions we discussed above:
Once you fill in the answers, 10 great ideas will display in 5 seconds!
Then what?
✅ Use your intuition and knowledge of your selected market to select the best 3 from the list.
✅ Talk to a few people in your target market and see which of these 3 resonates the most.
✅ See if they’d pay you if you launched one of those 3.
🚀 Tomorrow we’ll cover an easy way to find out if your idea is worthwhile — without having to talk to anyone.
