How to Know If Your Idea is Worth Creating

🤔 “Should I Even Bother Creating This?”

We’ve all had that moment.

You’re staring at a notebook full of ideas, wondering if any of them are worth your time… or if you’re about to waste three weeks making something your audience didn’t ask for. 😬

Here’s the good news: you don’t need to guess whether your idea is worth creating.

You can test it—before you ever create a single Canva slide or open a Google Doc.

🧪 Step 1: The Gut Check (aka “Do I Even Like This?”)

Before we talk money or market—let’s talk you.

Ask yourself:

• Am I excited to talk about this idea?
• Can I see myself helping others with it?
• Does this align with what I want to be known for?

If it’s a yes—awesome!

If it’s “meh”—skip it. You’re going to spend time with this baby.

Make sure you like it.

👂 Step 2: Listen to What Your People Are Asking For

Go where your people hang out and notice:

• What questions are they asking?
• What problems keep popping up?
• What words do they use to describe their struggles?

If your idea solves a real problem they care about, you’re already halfway there.

Pro tip: You can even ask them directly!

Try a poll, a “this or that” post, or a quick email saying,

“Would you be interested in this?”

📦 Step 3: Package It and Pitch It (Before It’s Built)

Before creating the whole thing, test the offer.

Write a mini sales page, social post, or mockup of the product.

Then:

• Share it with your list or audience
• Track interest (clicks, replies, DMs, likes, etc.)
• Consider taking pre-orders or running a beta version

If people are willing to say “YES” before it exists… you’ve got gold. ✨
