The "Minimum Viable Revenue" Framework 🎯
My immediate focus would be on validating a pain point that someone is already willing to pay a premium to solve. This involves three rapid steps:
1.Identify Existing Spend (Not New Need)
Question:
Where are businesses/individuals currently spending $5,000+ per year with poor results, high complexity, or intense frustration?
Focus: I wouldn't invent a new market; I would look to disrupt an existing, inefficient budget line (e.g., inefficient marketing agency spend, time wasted on repetitive tasks, high subscription costs for underutilized tools).
Goal: Find a budget line where my solution offers a clear 10x return on investment or a massive simplification.
2. Offer the "Done-For-You" Service First
Action:
Before building a product or a large team, I would immediately sell a high-priced, "done-for-you" service to solve that pain point for 3-5 clients.
Price Validation: The price must be high enough to hurt ($5k+ per client). If they pay this, the pain is real.
Goal: Generate initial revenue, build three powerful case studies, and, most importantly, learn the exact workflow and specific language needed to solve the problem efficiently.
3. Productize the Process (The Scalable Asset)
Action:
Take the service workflow validated in Step 2 and turn it into a scalable digital product, template, or SaaS tool. This ensures I am building something the market has already proven it will pay for.
Goal: Transition from selling time (service) to selling leveraged value (product), which is the only way to scale revenue quickly.
