Convenience. Clarity. Experiences. Exclusivity.
How can you tell if there is a market for what you're offering? Ask yourself these questions:
- Is there a nagging issue or recurring challenge that is slowing them down or interfering with their growth or the achievement of their goals, dreams, and desires?
- Do they have big goals that are clearly stated and to which they are committed to meeting?
- Is there already a large body of work that has been produced about this topic or issue?
Momentum is your friend.
