Workshop: 7 Steps from Idea to Realization
A Practical Guide to Validating Your Business Idea
Many aspiring entrepreneurs make the same critical mistake—they jump into building a business without properly validating their idea. Who is your real customer? Does your solution truly solve their problem? How do you test your idea before investing significant time and resources?
In this interactive 2-hour workshop, we will use Theory U methodology, developed at MIT and used by leading innovators, to guide you through the essential steps of transforming an idea into a viable business. The session will focus on:
✅ How to choose the right idea that will generate revenue
✅ 7 steps to turn your idea into a product people will buy
✅ How to find and understand your real customer
✅ Creating a clear next-step action plan
By the end of this workshop, you will have a structured approach to refining your idea, ensuring it meets real market needs, and increasing your chances of success.
