One of the biggest mistakes I see coaches and consultants make is spending months (or years) building an offer before they know if the market actually wants it.
I got this question just a few days ago: "How to get a loan to test my idea?"
The truth?
YOU DON'T!
And you don’t need to guess either.
You can test fast, test small, and test smart — and get real feedback before you invest more time or money.
Here are 3 simple ways to start:
- Run a Micro-Offer or Challenge -> A low-commitment, short-term offer (like a 3–5 day challenge) lets you see who’s interested, what questions they ask, and what transformation they value most.
- Talk to Your Ideal Clients -> Reach out to a handful of your dream customers and have genuine conversations. Ask about their biggest frustrations and what they’ve tried before.
- Share Your Idea Publicly -> Post a simple outline on social media or inside a group. Watch which part gets the most engagement or questions — that’s your hot spot.
You don’t need a perfect funnel or fancy branding to do this. You need curiosity, a willingness to listen, and a simple system to collect feedback.
Question for you: How have you tested your ideas before? Or what’s an idea you’re thinking of testing right now?
Drop it in the comments — let’s make testing less scary and more strategic.
