Summary
Want to start a business but have absolutely no idea where to begin? In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly how I’d start a business in 2026 - from finding an idea people will actually pay for to getting your first product or service out into the world. I share how to spot opportunities in everyday problems, validate your idea, stop overthinking and focus on the actions that can take you from idea to your first sale in as little as 30 days. I also share some of the lessons that helped me turn my first product business into $3.5 million in sales in its first year. You don’t need to have everything figured out before you start. You need an idea, a plan and the willingness to take the first step. Ready to start building?
