Every few years, we see some new trends emerge, and the early adopters who start taking advantage of them first see the most benefit. Then everyone else hops on and, pretty soon, everybody's doing it and it becomes a little harder to make work.

If you have any audience at all, you need to start taking advantage of these two trends. Follow me on social media @ChrisWHarder on Instagram and check out www.ForTheLoveOfMoney.com

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Being excited for the problem you are solving Starting a business with scaling in mind Doing your research Resources: fastfoundations.com Show Notes: The number one question we get from the hundreds of entrepreneurs we have coached over the past several years is "How do I know if my idea would make a good business?". You can have a ton of good ideas—and they could all be equally good—but you can only ever chase one at a time. You have to invest into one so far and so deep that it has enough momentum to run on its own so you can invest the momentum, the income, and the lessons learned from that into the second idea. We've developed a framework for evaluating your ideas to find out which is the right fit before you dedicate your all to it.
