How To Actually Come Up With a 7-Figure Business Idea (+ using AI to help)

[@THESTORYISYOU]

This made my morning. As someone who impulsively started a business to fund my Uni studies 2 years ago, I jumped straight into biz knowing literally nothing about anything, and just using my intuition ('whAt FeLT RiGht') as my compass for all business decisions. 2 years later, and I'm switching course by intentionally going back to square one and learning all the basics to proactively build on what I've created and start a slightly different biz that will look more like a platform than a personal brand biz. So this was incredibly helpful. Key things learnt: - Found most surprising: YOU DON'T HAVE TO REINVENT THE WHEEL! You don't need to do something COMPLETELY new. You just have to find the issue of already existing products and do it BETTER. Often I've felt so insecure that my ideas weren't original enough, but the problem you're solving can just be an improvement of pre-existing products. Can be as small as aesthetics or price point. - Learnt most about: Specific AI prompts. Had literally never thought to request a brainstorming sesh on chat GPT or look for emerging trends. - Most intriguing: The website/resource suggestions for where to find competitor/market stats. Literally so useful. Gonna go analyse the boring stuff now lol.

[@MobilityWithHannah]

Great comment! I literally want to reiterate all of your learning points! I feel the exact same… 😅 You don’t need to reinvent the wheel, thinking I need a totally original idea to get started 🤦‍♀️ Great AI prompts 🙌 I already use AI to support but think I can be giving more specific prompts. & yes to those market research tools, I wish I knew about them sooner. ❤

Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!

[@LesibaMothupi664]

You're correct!! I make a lot of money without relying on the government, Investing in stocks and digital currencies is beneficial at this moment.

[@esthermobikwann9096]

Job will pay your bills, business make you rich but investment build and keep wealth long term, the future is coming.

This is a masterclass people would pay money for. THANK YOU for so much!

[@EmmaH-g9o]

Play - Pause - Make notes - screenshot - open Chat GPT - rewind- repeat. So useful to have in one handy video. I am literally validating my new business idea whilst watching this video before jumping in to make a business plan and website. Dream timing. Thank you x1m Can't wait for 5pm.

[@camigiu]

How is this free?! I cannot thank you ENOUGH Grace 💗 You are more inspiring that you know. Thank you for this, seriously

[@Grace-Beverley]

Thank you! This makes me SO happy. This is just a taster of the kind of content in The Business Method. It's this but in the format of 55 video classes like this and 82 templates, I'll link it here productivitymethod.com/pages/the-business-method

[@dsagencysuite]

Grace, I had to share this - my fiancé is building a product and has been diving into this series with so much excitement. We sat down for dinner, and I put this video on the TV, thinking it would be a casual watch… but it turned into an incredible brainstorming session! The way you break down the steps really hit home for her. She’s rethinking her approach and applying your principles on identifying the problem, and she’s so pumped! Thank you for putting out content that not only inspires but genuinely moves the needle. 🙌💡

[@TutuAdetunmbi]

Grace gave us the cheat code!!! Listen…everything you will need to make that first step was SPILLED! My notes are FULL! Here are my key takeaways as someone that’s been working on an idea: 1. There’s an audience-first approach and a problems-first approach when it comes to validating your idea 2. There are different ways to bring a competitive edge when you think about how to solve your target audience’s problems. There are other ideas and iterations you can come up with. 3. You can test your ideas with AI! She even gave us prompts! ✨✨✨ 4. Rate your idea by its desirability, integrity, viability and feasibility 5. Embrace having competitors in your space. Study them then carve out your unique space! I can’t wait for the next drop. This is more helpful than I can express thank you to you and your team! 🧡

[@ShannonHorden]

Absolutely loved this Grace! Love hearing people talk about AI, i’ve been prepping to launch my beauty services business (which launches this week!) and AI has been a game changer in identifying pain points and solutions for my target audience, it’s completely changed my entire promoting strategy. Can’t wait for the next parts! (Not me delaying my launch from today until Friday because i neeeed to see the full series before i launch in case i’ve missed anything major)!

[@judymyers1934]

Great video. I am doing dropshipping with AI tools, and even thought they help so much it comes down to having great winner products (I personally love using a bit of winnerzila or something similar). In the last three months with this strategy my sales have increased by over 100%. Just last week I had over 400 sales only in pets niche.

[@jules_cart]

the amount of times I paused and pressed replay because ALL of this information is GOLD. The ChatGPT prompts and innovative sweet spot map are super useful tools! CANNOT WAIT for the next video!

[@JJOK1818-okthen]

How you speak so fast & drop sooooo much gold is unbelievable 🙌✨ thank you!

[@gaiasozzi131]

Watching this video made me realize that I've been too focused on the “how” rather than the “why” behind my goals. I’ve learned that success isn't just about grinding harder, but about connecting deeply with my core values-something I’ve been missing. Shifting my mindset to focus on purpose will make the journey more meaningful and sustainable!

[@carolkioko6387]

Thanks Grace, this is GOLD! The most surprising thing I heard is that having competition is a good thing and shows that there's a market while giving a lot of insights for your business. I never really thought of it that way I also liked that the innovative offering could just be price point, design, marketing etc

[@Amy-pt6jx]

This. Wow. This is the type of content that will actually push me to start pursuing those ideas that I have. The way you break it down into such simple, actionable steps makes the entire process seem so much less overwhelming. I feel like by the end of this series I will definitely feel confident and well equipped to go and start taking action on my never ending list of ‘problems that need solving’ 😅 Thank you so much Grace!

[@KentBrono]

I think it's important to stick to stocks that are immune to economic policies. I'm looking at NVIDIA and other AI stocks that have the potential to power and transform future technologies. It seems AI is the trajectory most companies are taking, including even established FAANG companies

[@BaffySchenck]

Well all i know is that you cannot go wrong taking profit at near high. No one ever went broke taking a ~20% profit. It's best if you consult with a fiduciary advisor in situations like this so you can make informed decisions.

[@MagdaleneM-f3q]

That's a great analogy and I love the insight. Professionals could make a really big difference in investing, and I think everyone should have one. There are aspects of market trend that is difficult for the untrained eyes to see.

[@PajinakStanovska]

Thank you for sharing this. I took the time to Google the individual you mentioned, and after reviewing her resume, it is evident that she is a seasoned professional. I have reached out to her and am eagerly awaiting her response.

[@misssidpay]

I learned the most about the AI tips, I have used it a bit before to help with my business idea but now I’m going to go so much deeper. I’m blown away by the possibilities. The examples helped so much and I can’t wait to put this learning into practise. Can’t believe this is all free content and I’m so excited for the rest of the videos 🤩

[@CharlotteAllcard]

This video was so useful - I've been searching for months to try and find information like this. Your points about harnessing AI to pull apart your business idea and provide optimisations, I found really important and helpful. I knew you could use AI for information but I wasn't 100% in the know on how to prompt the tool to ensure it delivers you the info which you need. Excited for the next one!

[@daniellagrace6718]

Grace! Thank you so much. This is my second time rewatching this! I truly have to digest the information ;). You are such an inspiration for young, ambitious women like me. Thank you for your consistency and belief in us. You help me believe in the impossible every time I watch your podcasts. Also, your humor is golden and a gift from God. Never lose it! Here's what I learned 1) I was most surprised by the amount of time and critical thinking involved when curating a thriving business. 2) I learned that every business is a solution to challenges in people's lives. You can even use yourself and your pain points as an audience and use AI to refine your ideas. 3) I found that there is a difference between a cool and useful business idea most intriguing. A business idea must solve an immediate and competitive problem.

[@lauramantillavargas]

So far no surprising facts or questions but definitely a compliment: GRACE, THANK YOU! This is what this generation needs. This is a beautiful masterclass covering all the basics. When you read “7-figure business idea” nowadays it’s “coaches” telling who to become a “coach/influencer by working less than 2 hours a day” but no one talks about all the work that goes into creating a sustainable business! This is amazing from you to share. Thank you!🎉

[@kimberley1910]

GRACE - THANK YOU! ❤ This video was the missing piece for me to FINALLY figure out exactly what business I want to build based on your ideation framework and the problem I want to solve has been in front of my eyes for such a long time! Price point, aesthetic and quality is what will make me the best in the industry that I’m about to work towards launching a product in. I’m so excited for today’s episode. I’m on such a high!

[@isabellaghassemi-smith5561]

In a world of vapid short form content, this was a breath of fresh air. Someone who has actually done it, sharing a framework start to end. This video doesn't re-invent the wheel, but the relief of knowing that by following these steps you've covered the basics - IT'S SO NICE. I can come out of this and not have the feeling of 'Am I missing something?' One video with everything I need, versus piecing together 200 unvalidated LinkedIn posts and a dozen articles. I loved the innovation sweetspot map, comparison matrix and market maps only because there are so many 'methods' and it's hard to actually know which to use and when to apply them. Epic series Grace

[@brittanrush1546]

Wow Grace! Your commitment to effectively communicating these complex topics in a way that is easy to understand and takes all the guessing out of the game is something that is worth praising! This video explained so many topics I have been struggling to understand for years now! I didn’t go to school for business but have wanted to start my own journey as an entrepreneur for a long time. Starting a business, as you know, has a lot of complex steps and strategy that goes along with it in order to be successful. Until now I had never come across anything that has described the process so completely and in a way that is digestible and easy to understand. I’ve never thought about using AI to help with product development and marketing, two things that seem very abstract to me. Your step by step guide is very easy to follow and I will be returning to it throughout my product development process! Excited for all the help this will bring me in changing my life! Thank you Grace for your time and for so freely giving your knowledge to help others grow alongside you. Truly inspiring!

[@bellepozzi]

First of all I want to say THANK YOU. I think you just made a lot of information accesible to a lot of people (I know you did for me) and in a very in depth but simple way. I think the most surprising part of this first video was the "you don't need something brand new or something that was never made before" to have a business. I often think of "this is already in the market I can't do it" and it was very eye opening to think that maybe it is on the market BUT maybe I can do it in a different way because of price, quality, etc. I found the AI part veeeery intriguing. I didn't think of AI as a way to help me create a business or even do research for it. That was amazing. Lastly, I watched the whole video in one sitting which for an AHDH brain is unheard of. Then I rewatching it two times as a lecture and taking notes. It was a lot of information but also so well structure that it didn't felt like it, if that makes sense. And as a final note, I'm from Uruguay, a very small country in South America and I'm always thinking I can't do certain thing because of it and now I just think maybe that's an opportunity. You just make me think things in a different way. Thank you, excited about the next one!

[@meetabhatt2072]

Hi Grace, thanks for creating this - I'm an OG follower and was so hoping this would be coming soon! What I learned the most was that, as simple as it sounds, the idea doesn't need to be lifechanging, or reinventing the wheel! What I found most surprising was the example you used (the Suri toothbrush) is so simple about removing all the bells and whistles. But the thing I found most intriguing was that you mentioned not pigeon-holing yourself at the start. There's so much chatter about niching down that I often find myself parking ideas that might work so well, but don't quite tie in with my niche. Really thought provoking video, look forward to tomorrow's!

[@lillie_bailey]

Wow the notes I have from this video alone are incredible! I feel like I can so easily hop from idea to idea and jump in way to quick without thinking so in depth about the competitors, whether the idea is actually what people want or what I think would work.. so THANK YOU! What I learn most about: - How many options there are to do market research, using the BoRiNg sites and newpapers and that you just need to dig that little deeper, and put that bit more effort in by using these available tools, to get a better level of understanding What I found most intriguing: - How you can already start thinking about product iterations and how to scale the business even from the starting point, so then tying in the brand voice to be able to launch more under the same hat to keep the business stainable and long term I was surprised by: - How deep the ideation process can be and how you can have a lot of ideas to start, without having to pigeon hole into a niche too soon (guilty of doing this before!) Heading straight over to watch the next video - thank you Grace! ✨

[@Seasonedmamas]

I am so excited for what is coming! Even if I don’t win I’m purchasing. This video has allowed me to seriously build out an idea I’ve had for a while I can’t wait to credit it when I blow. Thank you Grace ❤️

[@dawnluszczak6735]

Thank you Grace! After starting my own physical in person business 12 months ago (from leaving 19 years in education) I’ve found myself a little lost in ideas on how to move forwards. This has just given me so many ideas and avenues to research and look into and the use of AI prompts will save me the time I have been struggling to find in being a solo entrepreneur. Looking forward to the second and third video and the spark that they will ignite in me! This has helped my push down any self doubt that was starting to creep in! Thank you!

[@RoseCollingwood]

So much value. Too often I pushed a business idea to the side believing it wasn't big enough or there were competitors in the market already. This video dismantled those beliefs and has inspired me to jump in, and to pass on value too. So grateful. The world feels like a better place today.

[@KaseyHealy-z5g]

My friend sent me your video and I'm so glad they did! This has been so useful, I've been getting so down lately with what content to push out and I do not talk about the problem I'm solving enough. Will definitely be using AI more than I do now, even searched using your prompts and there's loads of thing I could be adding to my candles to make them even more appealing - thank you!!!

[@Thathijabivlogger]

The surprisingly most helpful part of this video is your wording. Although I have a brand, product, global demand, patents and engagement, l am always ready to take in all the advice you deliver. One of my struggles is delivering the pitch and the things you said like "Industries l've consumed from for years" or "I am the target customer, understand the pain points have my finger on the pulse" ect, Is the PERFECT example of "Why Me" what makes you the right person to do this. I can't thank you enough. Watching part 2 nowwwww

[@AbbeyMole]

This did not disappoint! I watched this last night for the first time and just listened, taking it all in. I've just finished watching it again, whilst making notes, and it is the best use of my time in forever! Thanks so much Grace for your dedication to developing people to become business owners, SUCCESSFUL ONES! My favourite part was the diagrams, I'm a very visual person and find that sort of activity really useful. I can't wait to put this into action with my ideas.

[@YasminHutchings]

This is super useful. Currently feeling very stuck in my career and know I want to build something of my own. I have a few ideas but don’t know where to go. This video was needed to help me understand some more about the background work. I think you’re right in saying that the thought of the ‘deep dive’ into the market and competitors can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming, time consuming and can put you off but I now understand the value. Actually this feels like one of those tasks where you would need to put aside hours and hours to get done when in reality, thanks to AI, you can get to your answers really quickly! Thanks for producing this Grace, excited to see the next few episodes and learn about what you’re launching!

[@RosieScribble]

An incredible video. My key takeaway is that it is so easy to jump in with an idea you are overexcited about, but you have to put in the work first before making that final leap and starting a business. Excited for the next instalments.

[@carinamarieweiss]

I have about 6 weeks left before I'm going to launch a completely new business and omg Grace!! These series couldn't had come at a better time for me. And I'm so relieved to hear the MVP thing because I started questioning myself if I really want to start "basic" or not but I choose to go basic first and feel very much confirmed about this decision. I'm so thankful for you and your knowledge! 🧡

[@chloe1595]

This has been an immense help already, it is so overwhelming starting your own business with the million different hats you have to wear. I am already through to the product stage of my business. I have been in the industry for 13 years and believed this was “sufficient “ market research, but after watching this I realise that more in depth anaylsis is needed not only to validate the concept to me but also to my audience and potential investors and act as a guide almost to my own marketing. Honestly this is wonderful- your clear and concise delivery is refreshing and I can’t thank you enough for sharing the knowledge ❤️❤️

[@gloriavivianna6770]

One of the things I found very interesting about the video was to use of AI, democratising information to help entrepreneurs. I felt stuck for the longest time as I didn’t know which way to move forward, with the business, suppliers, marketing, strategy, etc …… these videos will be a game changer for me. THANK YOU!

[@SerpilsDreams]

Ok, I had to pause in the middle of the video with my pen in the other hand - writing down my Mindmap - just to tell you GOD BLESS! I'm sooso grateful that you put all this knowledge out, being sooooo specific about the ideas and examples. I'm soo grateful! This is gold i cant waiiit for the rest to come and i was super shocked with the promt ideas for chatgpt i will absolutely use it. I got so motivated already like girl maybe i will knock on your door to get you on board! Thank you soososoo much! 🥺💞💫

[@kirstymcdougall3595]

The best thing about this episode is the spark it lights! I’ve been in a rut for a while with career development and there are SO many tips here that can be applied beyond product. This episode = hours of brainstorming and creativity!

[@contoura_collective]

I’m honestly sooo amazed at how much of this process AI can help with!! I haven’t moved beyond asking it to come up with a few social media prompts and my mind is blown. Such useful info & I will be deffo be going through this process to assess the future viability of my business!

[@itsgirlygirl_]

I really want to say thank you. Deeply from my heart because now days people only care about aesthetic videos that show fake results and it inspires them and not actually seeking good information. Let me tell you here you have both, aesthetic and quality info, plus the effort and organization you've put on this is valuable for all of us. Thank you thank you thank you, plus it's my first time watching you and you've inspired me and actually TEACHING not just catching people to sell them a course. God bless you ❤

[@Grace-Beverley]

You're too kind! I did actually just launch this but in the format of 55 video classes like this and 82 templates, I'll link it here productivitymethod.com/pages/the-business-method

[@silaurae]

Thank you, Grace, this was amazing! What I found the most interesting were two things: 1. it is not necessary to come with a new idea, but to provide a solution to the existing ones. I also found completely useful the steps for testing ideas before you actually invest money on them: desirability, integrity, viability, and feasibility. Pd: I had some classes for entrepreneurs at uni for more than 2 semesters and I learned SO MUCH MORE in this video and with your podcasts, thank you so so much!

[@georgiairedale665]

Again, amazing! As I mentioned on part 3 of this series, I'm launching my first small business on October 1st and despite knowing nothing about how to do it, I spent a lot of time over the past year trying to analyze my niche (surf equipment designed specifically for women). This video was super helpful, introducing new techniques and strategies I hadn't considered (ex. brainstorming with AI, why didn't I think of that), while also being so validating that I have already been looking at a lot of the right things to determine the viability of my product! Thank you! I hope to be able to invest in the full course soon!

[@makaidart1613]

It took me 2 hours to watch this video - I had to stop and start to note all this great content down!

[@lindbackmia]

As someone who works with innovation and AI for a living, I stand behind everything you said in this video and I am also very impressed by how “easy” and manageable you made everything! Love the way you divided the actions into digestible and concrete steps for everyone to follow. Very excited about the upcoming videos😍

[@irinakulizhnikova]

I actually learned how to deliver this whole message in a very comprehensive 30 mins format!!!! I work as a tech startup consultant and all this information I deliver basically on a daily basis. Such a comprehensive way of delivering all that makes me want to applaud you! What's more, I work mainly with AI startups (the pones that build AI for different use), and it's surprising how hay are underusing it themselves for their own business strategy!

[@simplyrejoice]

I absolutely love the angle of coming up with business ideas based on the own problems that I’m facing, so I’m my own target audience - this is genius! I really think this will even help with feeling more connected and passionate about the business & how I can help my customers better!

[@venom_studio]

I think across all elements - what I learnt most / found the most surprising / most intriguing is the same overarching concept - an idea is not at all about “reinventing the wheel”!! It’s about having an understanding of your audience, realising how to approach that with a unique perspective and embracing competition. Also don’t be scared of AI. There’s so much fear surrounding technology that is misplaced where we should instead be using that as a resource. THANK YOU!!

[@rubby3000]

Thanks for making your video so easy to understand, straight to the point and packed with useful information. Your casual but no be delivery is something I really admire and you hit some really key things to think about. Like the fact that it is good to have competitors is something I have never thought about!

[@LeoniePoppy90]

I've previously felt discouraged thinking that certain markets and would think oh its already been done and would have moved on to a completely different idea. But this made me realize how powerful it can be to deep dive into what's already out there, find the gaps, and come up with something unique.

[@PaigeSmith-u2g]

I absolutely loved this video. I have been working on my first business for the last week and I found this video so helpful to really bring it back to the beginning and ask myself the necessary questions before feeling fully confident to go ahead with my idea. I never knew Chat GBT and AI could be useful in so many ways. Thank you so much for sharing this information with us. Already looking forward to video 2. Thank you Grace x

[@MeridianSocial]

Okay just took so many notes. Thank you so much for posting this one. Honestly, the market research piece is what I found to be the most helpful. So far I have only started service-based businesses with my own audience but have been really wanting to start a product-based business that isn't fully relevant to the current community that I have built so I am going to be starting from scratch. So having these other areas like Tiktok Trends and the financial times are the places I never event would have thought to check. This is honestly so amazing and I appreciate you doing this so much!

[@royanasab5571]

Love your videos so much Grace, it has really helped me on my entrepreneurial journey. This is my 3rd time going through this video because something clicked in my brain and the business I have been searching for all this time all of the sudden popped into my head when watching this. You are a true inspiration especially as a woman in business and how much you have accomplished. Nice to see a content creator that is a true business woman, appreciate you.

[@nastasjagreyling7371]

Thank you so much for this incredible video! I absolutely loved the "problem-first" approach you highlighted - it really shifts the focus to solving real-world issues, which makes business ideas more meaningful and sustainable. The way you broke down the process of using AI to brainstorm and research was super insightful, especially combining that with the innovation sweet spot map. It makes the entire process of coming up with a idea feel both strategic and achievable. The practical tips and frameworks you shared are gold! Appreciate all the value you provided.

[@chillsongstostudyto]

Grace consistently mentions that your idea does not have to “reinvent the wheel” … this is an issue I have when sitting down to think of an idea. My mind always wants to create something that doesn’t exist, which is very hard to know what could solve somebody’s problem that doesn’t exist. It takes a very imaginative person. Apparently, I am not lol but daily there is a thing that I do or product that I use that I think oh I wish… If only… When these ideas come, I think I should start writing them down!!

[@piratecody44]

This is me lol. The hard part is wanting to make something right now. But usually for me I just stumble on a problem that I feel like I could solve 😂 Only problem is that once I think of a solution I don’t know what to do next 😅

[@hiitstechsupport1100]

You could start by creating a touch list or a complaint list. Write down what you touch everyday and write down if there’s anything that annoys you about that thing or the process In which you use it. Basically, scratch your own itch but make it as easy and straightforward as possible. This has helped me find an idea that I am currently validating.

[@peterchan4332]

Industry research is often neglected but the take away was where you point out what is accessible around us. The content here helps realign the process - adjusting your thoughts on problems around your concept. In doing so you can hone in on building that something that can be socially head turning, must wanted, affordable to a new audience, a product that will spread or develop the start of a brand that begins a journey on the road to building reputation and reach. Am creating a furniture concept atm and also working on a historic site to develop out in the property sector which is my core business.

[@RiaModhawadiya]

This video was truly so insightful and full of so much valuable information. Step 2 of the video which discussed leveraging AI when it comes to testing and trialing your business idea was truly such important information in this digital age we live in and I really enjoyed learning more about that, and the prompts you shared with us was so helpful. But throughout the whole video, the way you were able to articulate and explain all your points so clearly makes the process of starting your own business seem so much less overwhelming and approachable which has been my biggest problem in my journey so far, and I can't wait to watch the two videos that are still to come. Truly thank you so much Grace for taking the time to always go above and beyond for us!!

Grace, thank you for this - I am about to start my final year at Uni and hope to start my business very soon. So this has come at the perfect time! The most surprising thing is that a business can be PLANNED, it is always spoken about as a 'lightbulb moment', but how you challenge this assumption is very empowering! Amazing tools and advice, thank you!

[@gloriavivianna6770]

This video change the game completely for me. I am the kind of person who finds business ideas in everything but, as you said, not very thing is a good business idea Things I really found interesting: - You don’t have to reinvent the wheel: I have wasted so much time trying to find a new product, needs, something that wasn’t invented and, that was not the way. Finding something that is already there and making it a bit better, easier to use, safer to the environment could be the way forward -Definitely learnt about how to use AI to my advantage. I never knew how to use it however, I alway though it was a tool people use to in other way other than brainstorming or finding out about current trends and how a product is doing in the market. Looking forward to learning more in todays video

[@alcevskitara]

I’ve been following you for quite a while and of course I’m obsessed with the podcast. But this is so much interesting for me and I love that you actually answer a lot of questions I was having. I’m thinking about starting a business in future, after I’m all done with high school, and I love seeing this much info even now. Thank you for helping me and a lot of others!!

[@GeorgiaLGreen]

AHHHH this is like so perfectly curated. A major takeaway is how to approach using AI, taking note on how to get better answers by essentially asking more precise questions. Lots to learn in the next few days & coming to see you talk in Leeds in October too :) Thanks for making what feels like a typically gated community accessible for everyone. xx

[@adrianaahmadpakhri5437]

Thank you for this video!!!! I have always resonated with you due to the fact that YOU are your businesses' target markets and I have always thought that is genius! I dont necessarily need 10 years of industry experience in the field and I am more passionate about solving problems that I CAN RELATE TO! Thank you for breaking down chunks of business information in a very clear way. Excited to watch more of this series!

[@cecilietop]

Grace, thank you for taking me back to business school and entrepreneurship classes but actually making it actionable! Loved your take on the sweet spot map as well as your suggestions for how to conduct market research. I feel way better equipped to start validating my idea after watching this video and actually believe I might be able to take it somewhere should the market be ready for it 🙌🏼 Thanks again 🫶🏼

[@lilymaeprescott7740]

Really love the video! I’ve found it really interesting how you’ve framed competitors as validation that you should enter a market as opposed to being put off by that - shows that there are customers with a need but doesn’t necessitate that existing companies are doing the best job at addressing those needs!

[@natalielesueur3155]

I think the most interesting is how much information is actually out there to support your idea, competitors and gaps in the market and with the use of AI can actually be researched relatively quickly and seamlessly, like you said it doesnt have to be a huge task but it will be one of the key factors in preparing your business for market that could set you up for success in the long run.

[@sherinnataya79]

I started my brand when i was in uni but couldn’t figure out what am i doing wrong as it wont scale up. Your insights throughout this 30mnt mentoring session has been beyond helpful! AI really is a tool at our disposal! And now i’m going to start utilizing it as i’m working on this boat alone. Thank you for the great advices Grace!

[@edenlee7662]

Hi Grace! great video! I was ready right on time with my pen and notebook and filled 6 pages with your knowledge! i think what i found most interesting and helpful is using AI within our research and business itself. i have always been scared of Ai but know that I know how to approach it and utilize it i feel way more safe and exited to put it to good use! see you here same time tomorrow! Thank you very much!

[@sandra.ostapova]

Amazing video, watching it again and making notes because it's packed with so much info! Love it, thank you Grace x

[@shikawellbeinguk]

Wow, first of all I’m so grateful to have found your channel Grace. I’m in the wellness business since 2021 and everyday is a learning curve from my own customers, to social media, to finding new ways of adapting within my business. Love what you do and how you have dissected this video, very easy to follow and OMG….. so many golden nuggets here from how to understand your market, accessing data’s, surveys, using your competitors to validate concepts in the market. I had to stop the video several times to take notes, love the example you used as this is in my market niche and glad you covered how to analyse competitors to understand where I fit in and to leverage what’s customers are already loving in that market. Never heard of the sweet spot map but will be looking at this today. Overall really enjoyed your video and learnt so much and will definitely be looking out to all your videos. Thank you 🙏🏽

[@MichaelaLahodová]

I was really struggling today with a huge step of investing another money to my already launched small business (5 months in) which is not going so great ..but its new and its very soon. But thanks to you I realized i really have perfect product, perfect brand on perfect market and it has already like all the important boxes checked so i will go and make this investment bcs you gave me the sign I was asking for this morning. Also, thank you for recommendation checking investors and funding, bcs I thought there in czech we dont have something like this but we actually have! I also already bought a ticket to a startup night in Prague. Thank you Grace, you such an inspiration!

[@rizwana8572]

Thank you Grace, as someone who has for the most part of her life had business ideas but found it overwhelming to take anything forward, your masterclass has been so so helpful because you have broken it down into steps…I’m sure I will now be stalking your page and rewatching your series multiple times to take my ideas forward…so so excited!! Thank you ❤

[@iamcara]

Miss Grez making entrepreneurship more accessible for women! We love!

[@alstonlyle7370]

Love this! The AI prompt framework and innovation sweet spot map were the most helpful tips - great reminders!

[@LucyK-1g]

WOW omg SO many notes!! I feel like I'm at business school! I had no idea how specific AI could get with supporting ideas and the market research. I will definitely be using the questions you mentioned - thank you!!

[@tanikawatson1087]

Absolutely amazing video Grace. Ive been folllowing you for years and have seen how you have been able to not only start but scale success businesses and it has been an inspiration for me. I love how you’re always so transparent and willing to help. This video has honestly helped me so much I’ve had business ideas but haven’t know how to really start or see if it is a business that I can actually scale. It’s daunting and this video has help so much and it’s only the first one. honestly pulling my business idea apart makes so much sense and it wasn’t something I even thought to do before. I also knew AI could help me but I didn’t realise how much I could actually utilise it, it’s so overwhelming and being able to really utilise AI is going to make it just that little bit easier to really understand my market, my business and see if it is actually viable.

[@extensionofbeauty___8203]

I felt like i was in a pretty good place in my business idea to be able to skim over video 1 but my god has this given me much more to think about!!! Thank you Grace Beverley! I have worked in my industry for 10yrs i am so passionate about this new project its not even a thought 'its got to work for me' its soooooo much more 'i have to make this work, How?' so these videos have come just a the right time ... like the universe is providing me with what i need, when i need it. Im forever grateful 🙂

[@liannaswan6918]

THIS is the content I've been waiting for 😍

[@amykc1966]

I LOVE that you've helped de-mystify how anyone can use AI tools to make them work for you, and given such workable ideas on how you can evolve prompts to keep challenging the results! I have so many friends who feel nervous about engaging with AI, such good examples to help give people confidence with using these tools! ❤

[@LauriePascual]

Generative AI tools have definitely made starting a business much easier. I like the reminder around testing your business idea in forums / with the relevant communities. It's easy to go down an information rabbit hole, the best validation will always be direct feedback from prospect and customers.

[@NicoleUnfiltereddd]

This series could not have come at a better time in my life! I think my favorite piece of advice or something I needed was the diagram for innovation as well as sample chatGPT prompts :) it feels good to finally have the business idea in ready to march forward with so I’m so grateful for this series

[@georgiadixon-HR]

Everything I needed for my next service idea in this video. Grace you're seriously giving in this video, and the step by step breakdown is amazing. I CANNOT wait for the next two!!

[@SierraMelanson]

I love the emphasis that you placed on research and understanding your market. I feel like it is so tempting for many entrepreneurs to jump into an idea without validating it and understanding the problem from the customers perspective!

[@Frida4real]

LOVE! I'm just starting my business, and it's SO helpful to realize that I am my own target customer. game-changer for decision-making! Can't wait to see what's next

[@uvieadah7526]

I’m a visual learner so hands-on activities like writing out concepts on a sweet spot map really resonate with me. Thank you Grace! Excited for the next two videos 🎉

[@yankamamma]

Wow, I just found you and I am hooked! The most interesting part for me was the type of questions we should ask chatgpt. I use it everyday but I never ask questions the way you explained, going in depth, or asking AI to ask me 20 questions about my business. Genius! Thank you very much professor! Joking 😁❤

[@ukemeobongakanam2258]

Whew!!! This is a masterclass. Definitely returning with my notepad

[@AmyBee0514]

Incredibly insightful and I've made so many notes. Thanks so much for continuing to inspire so many of us to take the step into entrepreneurship. With so few businesses with female founders gaining the traction or investment they deserve and plenty of free but not hugely helpful resources it's so refreshing and completely on brand that you'd smash this one out of the park to provide short yet detailed genuine advice. Your take on AI and the ability to leverage it to assist (particularly when there are so few people talking about it) is incredibly useful. I have been using AI to research my ideation but never to such a granular level - already the results have been a great starting point to build upon and it was reassuring to hear competitors in the space shouldn't put you off but encourage you to pivot to better solve a problem. Can't wait to watch the next one.

[@franceswhitehead683]

This was SO TIMELY ❤ Thank you. Your knowledge is always your biggest asset and yours doesn’t disappoint. The thing I loved the most about the video was the suggestion to use AI… no one and nothing will ever show up and ‘do it for you’ (ie , everything has an error rate) but it can be such a valuable tool. I also loved your advice to watch it as if it was a lecture or someone gave you this as an assignment. As someone who just graduated with a PhD and is deciding whether to get a job or create one, no matter what route you pick, reengagement with the material is always key. Refreshing in a sometimes one-and-done kind of world. Thank you again. I’m on to video 2!😊

[@nalanlan9636]

The quality of this video is👌 Thank you grace, it is an AMAZING video ! ☺️

[@mia-yxhgx]

Hi Grace. :) these 3 videos couldn't have come at a better time... Ive had a business idea for a very long time but have been scared to almost take the first few steps not knowing which direction to go or how to start. One thing I would like to thank you for is telling me to challenge myself about my idea. I have never thought to challenge myself on why I think that my idea is a good one, is it viable or realistic. Its always good to be prepared on whats to come so you know what questions could come your way in the future. I am looking forward to the next 2 videos and to learn so much more :) Thank you !!!

[@maddyrose3389]

Honestly you’re becoming my favourite entrepreneur and aspirational woman ever! Thank you for this ❤

[@NicoleRichardson-d6s]

Firstly, I'm already excited for the new product that is to come - I know it is going to be so useful! I've never considered using AI (I feel unless you have been shown otherwise, more tech savvy or in the industry, it's something you don't even think/know about!). I also think the importance of not seeing competitors as a bad thing, I've been put off a few idea as I thought other people are doing similar/same, when really it offers some form of validation of your idea.

[@ChiffonJewels]

I've watched your videos for a while now and they are always the informative, insightful and motivation I need. I have started a jewellery business in New Zealand and this kind of content has been super helpful for it, especially in identifying the problem of your product and product idea development.

[@verasantos9797]

Thanks Grace for the awesome video, can’t wait to watch the other two. You’re so right about not having to reinvent the wheel. It’s easy to fall into the trap of wanting to come up with something truly original that’s never been seen before, but sometimes the best ideas can be right there in front of your eyes. Sometimes it’s simply about improving a product you already use or taking a simple idea and making it amazing through branding and marketing! 👏🏻 Thanks for reminding me of that!

[@ruthzwizwai7664]

Loved this and found it useful to take my current natural skincare business (ruva skincare) and then take it a step back on the problem it solves and think of other products that solve that problem! It is so so helpful to flip the process to the problem frist approach as it may feel obvious what bodycare solves but exactl what what of it and what then makes my own products unique against the other products already available and making sure that is clearer - thank you excited for the next episodes ♥ happy to have some more interesting for my drive home 😄

[@Jasper-ub4vu]

Hey Grace! I loved the framework you used to evaluate different ideas. I find this super difficult to do, and often get hugely biased over my own ideas so this was a really great tip ❤❤❤
