The Bright Balloon

342. Shiny object syndrome

In this episode, I’m walking you through the exact steps I take to help determine whether my constant business ideas are worth pursuing. I’ll share some of the most recent things I’ve considered, what I almost immediately scrapped and what is still a possibility.

I’m talking about:

  • Gut checks on passion and ease 
  • Profitability 
  • Time, energy and bandwidth
  • Business compatibility

Then I’ll share a few actual tactics I use if an idea passes all of those marks: soft launching, asking fellow balloon artists to borrow content and getting insight from industry contacts. 

I wrap up with a bit of “homework” that you can do to further explore your ideas, or maybe get past them.

Then in the UGlu Hotline, hear about an item that one listener wishes she bought sooner.
