How do you know when your idea is THE one?

I'd love to have your take and insights!

I feel like when you start building something you are soo excited that you don't have time to look around you. New start-up owners, especially the ones that don't have a tech background often fail to recognize how important conducting market reasearch really is. You can have a great idea but if no one is going to use it, it's meaningless. To conclude, even the people who are the best at market research and do all the planning do not know if their ideas is "THE" one uniil they put it in front of real users.

BTW, I really loved your article.

Cheers

The market will show you your idea is the one and providing value. Engagement (if your idea is a product) will speak volumes as it resonates with users.
