You want to start a business, but you're struggling to come up with the right idea. Sound familiar? If so, you are not alone and you're in the right place. Today, I'm going to help you find a profitable business idea that not only makes money, but also ignites your passion and serves a real need. Every successful entrepreneur starts exactly where you are now, with no idea and a lot of uncertainty. The difference is they found the process to discover that golden idea and took action. In fact, millions of people are taking the leap. 5.4 million new business applications were filed in 2021 in the US, a record high. That means countless people decided enough waiting, I'm going to build something, and you can too. Imagine waking up excited because you're working on a business that you love, that you're good at, and that actually makes a difference while making money. That's the goal, and we're going to get you there with a step-by-step breakdown, mixing motivational fire with practical strategies backed by real stats, expert frameworks, and inspiring examples. Let's do this. And if you make it all the way to the end of the video, put a hashtag #believe in the comments below and you might be featured in a future video. Step number 1 is start with your passion and skills. The first place to look for a great business idea is within you. Why? Because building a business takes hard work and persistence, and it's a lot easier if you care deeply about what you're doing. So start by examining your passions and skills. What do you love doing? What are you really good at? These are the seeds of a strong business idea. Think about it. If you start a business just because it seems lucrative, but you have zero interest in it, will you still be excited to do it a year from now? 5 years from now? Probably not. Your passion is the fuel that keeps you going when things get tough. And trust me, in business, things will get tough. Likewise, your skills and talents give you an edge. Maybe you're great at graphic design or coding or cooking or teaching. Whatever your gifts are, they can form the basis of a business. A powerful tool to connect passion and skill with a viable idea is the Ikigai framework from Japan. Ikigai means reason for being, and it's often visualized as 4 overlapping circles. What you're good at, your skills and your strengths. What you love, your passions, those activities that light you up. What the world needs. These are the problems you can solve or ways you can serve others and what you can be paid for. So these are things that people would actually pay you to do. Ask yourself these 4 questions and find the intersection. The sweet spot in the middle is your ikigai, where a meaningful, potentially profitable business idea can emerge. For example, say you love fitness and you're good at teaching. The world needs healthier lifestyles and people are willing to pay for personal training. Right in the intersection could be a business idea of launching a personal training service or an online fitness coaching program. See how that works? When you align what drives you with what helps others and what makes money, you've got the foundation of a winning idea. Take a moment after this video or pause now to jot down your skills and passions. Look for patterns or combinations you might have overlooked. Your unique background or hobby might be the source of a great business. Love baking and good at art? Maybe a custom cake bakery. Good with numbers and love kids? Maybe a financial literacy app for students. Brainstorm freely here. Let your imaginations go wild connecting things you love and excel at. This is how many iconic businesses started. Someone took a personal interest or talent and turned it into a product or service the world didn't know it needed. Number 2, identify real problems to solve. All right. So you've looked inward. Now it's time to look outward. A business only succeeds if it solves a problem or fulfills a need for customers. This is absolutely crucial. Profitable ideas are ones that serve others in a meaningful way. As venture capitalist Paul Graham put it, the The way to get startup ideas is not to try to think of startup ideas. It's to look for problems, preferably problems you have yourself. In other words, find the pain point, something people struggle with or want improved, and solve it. Why is focusing on a real problem so important? Because if your idea doesn't address a genuine need, it won't matter how passionate or skilled you are, it's likely to flop. In fact, studies have shown that 42% of startups fail simply because there was no market need for what they built. Think about that. Nearly half of those entrepreneurs poured time and money into something that people ultimately didn't want enough to pay for. Ouch. We do not want you in that 42% category. The cure is to start with a problem, not the product. So look around your life and the lives of others. What annoying problems do you see? What service do you wish existed because it would make your life easier? Maybe your coworkers are always complaining about a certain inefficiency at work. Maybe as a parent, You've noticed a lack of affordable tutoring options. Maybe you see small businesses in your town struggle with social media and you know how to help. Opportunities are everywhere once you start looking for problems. A great exercise is to keep a problem journal for a week. Literally write down every time you or someone you observe says, "Ah, I wish this was easier," or "Why hasn't someone figured this out?" Those complaints our business idea gold. The bigger or more frequent the pain, the more valuable the solution will be. Entrepreneurs often talk about painkillers versus vitamins. When it comes to products, a painkiller business solves an urgent pain. Customers need it. Whereas a vitamin business is nice to have. Customers might want it. Painkillers are easier to sell. So aim to be a painkiller. Solve a real problem that causes pain or frustration. Now, if you can match a problem that needs solving with something you're passionate about and good at, you're on the right track. Let's say you're passionate about the environment and skilled in engineering. You identify that people want to reduce plastic waste. That's the problem, but find it hard to do in daily life. You might come up with a business idea to create biodegradable packaging or a convenient recycling service. See how the problem, which was plastic waste, drives the idea and your passion or your skill, which is sustainability and engineering, shapes the solution. That's the synergy that we're looking for. Step number 3, brainstorm broadly. Mix and match your ideas, your products, your services, online and offline. At this point, you have the ingredients of you, your passion, your skills, and the market, the real problems and the needs. Now it's time to cook up some specific ideas. Brainstorm as many ideas as possible that lie at the intersection of what excites you and what could help others. Don't filter yourself too much yet. The goal is to generate a wide range of possibilities. Think of it like a creative brainstorm where no idea is too crazy to write down. Often your first few ideas might be obvious or already well-known, but as you keep pushing, you'll hit more original notes. One technique is to take one of your interests or skills and list out every business model you can apply to it. For example, suppose you love pets. You could sell a product like homemade organic pet treats, provide a service, pet grooming, dog walking, build an online platform, a blog, a YouTube channel with pet training tips monetized by ads or a premium course, start an offline business, open a pet daycare center, offer consulting or coaching service to help new pet owners via one-on-one sessions, and so on. See how one passion, which was pets, can spawn multiple types of business? Don't get stuck thinking there's only one way to turn an interest into an income. In fact, let's systematically explore different types of business models so you can cover all of the angles. Here's a list to spark some ideas. Product-based businesses. Here you're creating or selling a tangible product. So example, you're designing a new gadget, a new fashion item, You're manufacturing eco-friendly household product. You're selling handmade crafts on Etsy or even developing a mobile app, which is a digital product. Then you have service-based businesses. Here you're providing a service, so you're using your time, your expertise to help clients. So examples, you're starting a consulting agency, you're freelancing your design or your programming skills, you're launching a cleaning or landscaping business, you're offering tutoring or coaching, you're a fitness coach, a career coach, etc., or a home repair service. Next is online businesses. So here you're leveraging the internet to reach customers. So examples, you have an e-commerce store, you're selling products on Shopify, Amazon, your content creation, you're doing a YouTube channel, podcast, blog that you monetize through ads or subscriptions. You have online courses or membership sites. You have software as a service. You have products or an app-based service like a delivery or booking app. Next, you have offline. These are brick-and-mortar businesses. That's a traditional route of a physical location or local service. So examples, you're opening a cafe or food truck, retail boutique, a gym, a yoga studio, a car wash, a mobile phone repair kiosk, a food catering business. These can still leverage online marketing, but the core is face-to-face service. Next is trending industries. So think about what's hot right now. New trends create new business opportunities. Some examples are AI and machine learning services, very hot right now. Sustainable products and green tech, people are increasingly becoming eco-conscious. Remote work solutions, anything that supports work-from-home culture. Blockchain, Web3, if you have expertise there. Personalized nutrition or health tech, et cetera. Trends can be great because demand is rising, but be careful. You still need to offer real value, not just hype. Then we can go to timeless needs. These are businesses that never go out of style because they meet basic enduring needs. So example: food and beverage, healthcare, education, housing, transportation, personal finance, management, cleaning, repairs, childcare. A boring business that reliably fixes a common problem can be very profitable. Don't dismiss it because it's not the latest fad. Timeless can equal stable. So go through each category and ask, could I see myself doing this? Does it overlap with a passion or skill and solve a problem? This exercise expands your thinking. For instance, maybe you hadn't considered an online content business, but you really love writing. And there's a need for easy how-to articles in a hobby niche you care about. Boom, that's a potential idea. Start a niche blog and monetize it. Or you realize an offline service like a mobile car detailing in your town could do well because you love cars and people always, always, always need convenient convenient car care. By exploring the full mix of models, you ensure you're not leaving any stone unturned. Here's a pro tip for you. Look at where trends and timeless needs intersect. For example, the rise of remote work is a trend meets the timeless need for better communication. That spawned ideas like Zoom and Slack. Now, maybe you won't create the next Zoom, but you might create a specialized solution for remote teachers or remote fitness training. Another example. Health and wellness is timeless and technology is a trend. Together, they opened up ideas like health tracking apps or online therapy services. Brainstorm combinations like this to see if something clicks with you. At this stage, quantity is your friend. Write down 10, 20, or even 50 idea snippets. They won't all be good. That's okay. You're looking for a few gems that excite you and have potential to explore further. Once you have a nice list of ideas, we can move on to evaluating and refining them. Step number 4: Research the market and competition to validate the need. Now that you have some candidate ideas, it's time to put on your detective hat and research. This step separates wishful thinking from reality. A business idea might sound awesome in your head, but you need to verify that real customers actually want it and will pay for it. So how do you research effectively? Start with understanding the market size and demand. Use Google to see how many people are searching for solutions related to your idea. Check forums, social media, Reddit communities where your potential customers hang out. What are they talking about? What questions do they ask? This can give you insight into the demand and specific pain points. For example, if you are considering a healthy snack product, see if people are blogging or tweeting about wanting low-sugar on-the-go snacks. If you find a lot of chatter or searches, that's a good sign the interest is there. Next, look at the competition. Are there other businesses that are already doing what you plan to do or something similar? Don't be discouraged if there are. Competition is actually validation that the problem exists and money is being spent. Your job is to study those competitors and identify how you can differentiate. More on that will come up in a future section. Make a list of, say, the top 5 competitors or alternatives in your space. Visit their websites, read their customer reviews, note their pricing. This research will help you answer key questions. How hard will it be to stand out? What are they doing well and what are they not doing well? What gaps could you fill? Also pay attention to the trends in the industry. Is the market growing or shrinking? You can find industry reports or news articles for data. If you discover that the market for your idea is exploding, like for example, the e-learning market booming during the pandemic, that's a tailwind for you. If it's declining, say you wanted to open a DVD rental store, probably not a great idea in the age of streaming. You might reconsider or pivot your focus. Importantly, talk to potential customers if you can. This doesn't have to be formal. Even chatting with people in your target market can provide insights. For instance, if your idea is a service for busy moms, go talk to some moms. Ask if they face the problem you think they have and how they solve it now. You might discover new info. Maybe they don't need what you thought, or maybe they desperately need it, but current options are too expensive. Those insights are pure gold and can save you from building something flawed. Entrepreneur Steve Blank famously said, "There are no facts inside the building, so get the heck outside." Meaning don't just sit in your room theorizing, get out there and learn from real people. Let's say one of your ideas is an app to help people find last-minute fitness classes. You'd research how many people search for fitness classes, see if apps like ClassPass or Mindbody cover that, and perhaps survey some gym-goers or instructors about their needs. You might discover that people want to do spontaneous fitness options, but they care more about price or location. That intel helps you refine your idea. Maybe your twist is focusing on discounted last-minute spots, like a Hotwire for fitness classes. This research phase is where you turn a rough idea into a more concrete concept backed by evidence. Step number 5 is carve out your unique value and differentiate with a blue ocean strategy. So by now you should have a much clearer picture of your top idea or couple of ideas and what the market looks like. Now ask yourself, what will make my business unique? Why will customers choose you over the competition? This is your unique value proposition or UVP, the special sauce that sets you apart. It could be a niche focus, a better feature, a more convenient delivery method, a lower price, a higher quality, a brand that resonates more, etc. But you need something that makes you stand out. One powerful way to think about this is using the Blue Ocean Strategy framework. The concept popularized by the book Blue Ocean Strategy is that most businesses fight in red oceans crowded with competitors, all biting at the same customers. A blue ocean is where you create a new uncontested market space, making the competition irrelevant. In plain terms, find an angle that none of your competitors are addressing and sail there. This might mean targeting a different customer segment or offering a completely new combination of benefits. So, for example, think about Cirque du Soleil. They took a blue ocean by blending circus with theater, attracting adults willing to pay theater prices while other circuses were stuck competing for kids' attention with animals and clowns. Cirque du Soleil's unique value is a sophisticated, story-driven circus experience. The result? They tapped into a whole new audience and made competition beside the point. Now, you don't have to revolutionize an entire industry like they did, but you can apply the same idea on a smaller scale. So ask yourself, what can I do differently or better than anyone in my space? Maybe your research revealed a gap. Perhaps all the existing products are expensive, so you aim to be affordable, or they're all cheap and low quality, so you become the premium High-quality choice. Perhaps competitors serve a general audience, so you niche down. For instance, instead of a generic marketing agency, you specialize in marketing for sustainable fashion brands, becoming the go-to expert for that niche. That niche focus can be your unique edge. Here's another angle. Combine things in a novel way. Maybe you notice no one is bundling two services together. That makes sense. Think of how some car wash businesses now offer oil chains while you wash. They combine services to stand out. Or use a different channel. If competitors only sell in store, you dominate online, or vice versa. Blue Ocean thinking encourages creativity. Instead of trying to beat someone else at their game, you change the game. Even if your idea is in a crowded field, a unique value prop can make it feel brand new. For instance, lots of people sold coffee, but Starbucks made a blue ocean by selling an experience and a community. The third place between home and work. Lots of people made phones, but Apple differentiated with design and an ecosystem that locked customers in. So define your differentiator. Write down a simple sentence. My business is the only one that, and then fill in the blank. If you can't, you need to refine your idea further until you can. Maybe it's the only one that can offer onsite yoga classes specifically for tech companies. Or the only one that uses AI to personalize meal prep for users in seconds. The point is to have a clear, compelling answer when a customer asks, why should I choose you? If you nail that, you're way ahead of most new businesses. Step number 6 is test your idea on a small scale. Validate with MVP. You've got a promising idea that fits your passion, solves a real problem, and now has a unique twist. Fantastic. Now, before you start pouring all your savings or quitting your day job, It's time for one of the most critical steps. Validate your idea with a small-scale test. In startup speak, we call this building a minimum viable product or MVP. The concept is simple. You create the simplest version of your idea necessary to prove that people want it. This way you get real feedback and evidence without a huge investment upfront. Think of it as experimenting. You're testing the market's reaction. This step can save you from disaster or give you the confidence and data to go all in. And it doesn't have to be expensive or complicated. In fact, some of the most successful companies started with super scrappy tests of their concepts. Let me share a couple of famous examples. Airbnb's MVP. So today Airbnb is a massive business, but it started extremely small. The founders, Brian and Joe, had an idea. Strangers might pay to stay in our home instead of a hotel. Crazy, right? To test it, they didn't build a fancy app or buy properties. They literally put air mattresses in their living room and created a basic web page offering a place to sleep and breakfast. They targeted a conference in town that had hotels fully booked. And guess what? 3 people took them up on their offer to air bed and breakfast. That was all the validation they needed to see that, hey, people are open to this. After only that initial test, did they start expanding? And even then, very slowly at first. The key lesson is this: they tested the core assumption. Will people pay to stay in a stranger's home with almost no money? You can do the same with your own idea in its own way. Here's Zappos' MVP. Zappos is a huge online shoe retailer now, but when Nick Swinmurn had the idea in 1999, selling shoes online was unheard of. Rather than buying a ton of shoes and hoping they'd sell, which is super risky, Nick ran a clever test. He went to local shoe stores, took photos of shoes, and listed them on a simple website. When a customer ordered a pair, he'd go buy it from the store and ship it to them. Inconvenient for him? Sure. He was running around town. Profitable at that moment? Not really. He wasn't making money doing that. But as a test, it was brilliant. It proved people would buy shoes online even without trying them on. Once that was validated, he knew it was worth investing in inventory and building the real infrastructure. Zappos was born from that experiment. These examples show the power of an MVP. Keep it simple, cheap, and focused on learning. So ask yourself, what's the smallest, quickest way I can test my idea? If it's a product, maybe you make a prototype by hand or even a 3D rendering and show it to potential customers for feedback or pre-orders. If it's a service, maybe you offer it to a few people manually. Even if behind the scenes you're doing things unscalably, just to see if they'll pay and what results they get. If it's an app or website, perhaps you don't even build it fully. You just put up a landing page describing the service with a sign up or buy now button and see if people click and then say coming soon. This gauges interest. You could also run a small crowdfunding campaign to see if strangers will put money down for your idea. There are so many creative ways to test without a full launch. One very important piece of validation is to actually charge money if that's your eventual goal and see if people will pay. It's one thing for friends to say, oh, that sounds cool, I'd use that. It's another for someone to pull out their wallet and pay $50 for it. The ultimate proof of a profitable idea is, well, profit. So in your test, see if you can even get 1 or 2 actual sales or paying users. That does wonders for your confidence and gives you real customer feedback. And remember, You don't have to quit your day job to do this testing. In fact, keeping your job while you validate is often wise. There's research done by professors spanning 14 years that found entrepreneurs who kept their day jobs had 33% lower odds of failure than those who quit outright. Read that again. It means you can be prudent and hedge your bets early on. Test your ideas in the evenings or weekends. It's okay if progress is a bit slow at first. You're buying yourself runway and reducing risk. Once your idea is validated and starts gaining traction, then you can consider going full time. As the saying goes, don't burn the boats until you're sure the island has treasure. So go out and run your tests. Embrace the mindset of a scientist and an adventurer. It's actually fun. You're seeing your idea come to life in the real world for the first time. Keep your eyes wide open during this phase. Talk to your early users or customers, get their brutally honest feedback, and iterate. Maybe they'll love some parts of your idea and be lukewarm on the others. Use that information to tweak your concept. It's much better to adjust now than after you've sunk a year of work into it. Step number 7: Refine, pivot, or persevere, but stay flexible. After testing, you'll have real data in your hands. Some of it will make you happy. People love the convenience. Some might be disappointing. Only a few out of 100 people who visited my site actually signed up. This is normal. The question now is, what did you learn and what will you do about it? This stage is all about refining your idea. You might need to make small changes or sometimes a major change, a pivot to hit the sweet spot. Don't be discouraged if your initial idea wasn't a home run right away. It's rarely perfect from the get-go. In fact, many successful businesses morphed from their original idea once they got market feedback. Instagram famously started as a completely different app. It was a complex check-in app called Burbn before the founders noticed users only really liked one feature. Photo sharing and pivoted to focus on that. Hello, Instagram. Twitter was born out of a failing podcast platform. Iteration is part of the process. As Paul Graham observed, most startups end up nothing like the initial idea. It would be closer to the truth to say the main value of your initial idea is that in the process of discovering it's broken, you'll come up with your real idea. In other words, your first idea is just a stepping stone to the truly great idea. And that's okay. So what might refinement look like for you? It could be narrowing down your target market further because you found one subgroup really loved it and the others didn't care. Or adjusting your pricing if people said it's too expensive. Or maybe adding or removing a feature. For example, if you offered a meal delivery service and learned that customers only really use it for dinner, maybe you pivot to focus on dinner plans specifically. If your app has 5 features but users only care about 2, Simplify and double down on those two. Listen to the feedback and be willing to adapt. The best entrepreneurs are flexible thinkers. They don't marry their solution. They marry the problem. They stay committed to solving the core need but are willing to change how they solve it based on what is actually working. There's also a chance your test results are phenomenal and basically scream, yes, this idea is a winner exactly as it is. That's great. Then you persevere and start scaling it up. But if the results were lukewarm or confusing, don't despair. Use them to make your idea better. This is the time for tweaks and maybe a second round of testing with the improved version. Here's one more thing. Overcome the fear of failure by reframing it as learning. Thomas Edison famously said, I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. Each tweak you make is bringing you closer to something that will work. Each failure in testing is just an experiment that yielded new information. It's like a pilot adjusting course based on weather conditions. You're still headed to your destination. You're just navigating reality. So stay consistent and keep that growth mindset. If version 1 of your idea doesn't fly, think of version 2 or 3. This phase might repeat a few times. Test, learn, refine, test again. That's normal. The end goal is when you start consistently seeing people willing to pay good satisfaction, and growing demand. That's when you know you've honed in on a truly profitable business idea worth pouring gasoline on, which is scaling up. Step number 8, take action and execute. Your ideas are worthless without execution. By now, you should have a solid, validated business idea in your hands. Congratulations. Do you know how many people never get to this point? A lot. You've done the hard thinking. You've done the research. You've tested and refined. Now comes the part that separates wantrepreneurs from entrepreneurs: taking massive action and executing consistently. This is where you turn that idea into an actual business with customers and revenue. It's showtime. Let me be real with you. An idea alone, no matter how brilliant, is worth almost nothing. Execution is everything. Mary Kay Ash, the founder of Mary Kay Cosmetics, famously said, ideas are a dime a dozen. People who implement them are priceless. Let that sink in. You might have the most innovative idea, but if you don't act on it, it's just theory. On the other hand, even a simple or common idea executed with excellence can make you incredibly successful. Look at businesses like Starbucks or McDonald's. Coffee and hamburgers are not novel ideas at all. It was their execution. It was their systems, their branding, their consistency that made them billion-dollar empires. So don't worry if your idea isn't completely original. What matters is doing it better, doing it your way, and actually doing it. Millions of people say, "I had that idea," when they see a successful business. But the winners are those who acted. You're going to be a winner by acting on yours. What does execution involve at this stage? It means building your product or service for real. Setting up the business basics, even if it's just creating a simple website or social media page to start. And aggressively going after your first real customers beyond the testers. It means refining your operations, how you deliver your product or service efficiently. It also means marketing, getting the word out through any scrappy means you can— social media, word of mouth, local events, content marketing, etc. Essentially, you transform from planner to doer full time. This part will be a journey on its own with new challenges. Maybe you hit technical issues to solve. Maybe you face rejection from investors or partners. Maybe sales are slow in the first months. This is where the passion we talked about in step 1 really pays off. It will keep you motivated to push through. Remember your why, the passion or purpose that made you choose this idea and the problem you're solving that really helps people. That will drive you to persist and innovate in the face of obstacles. Here's a quick tip. Don't seek perfection before launch. I've seen too many aspiring entrepreneurs tinker endlessly trying to make their product perfect and delay actually offering it to real customers. Don't fall into that trap. Get a good enough version out and improve as you go. Reid Hoffman, the founder of LinkedIn, said, if you are not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you've launched too late. The point is to launch, learn, and improve rather than aim for perfection out of the gate. Execution is a learning process too. And guess what? You're never truly ready. You might still feel doubt or fear. That's normal. Successful entrepreneurs feel it and take action despite it. You don't need anyone's permission to start. You just need to start. Discipline and consistency will carry you forward. Make a plan, even a simple to-do list or a 90-day action plan, and then execute on it every single day. Step by step, you will build momentum. Finally, as you execute, keep your motivation and vision high. Celebrate your small wins, your first sale, your first 100 users, great customer testimonial. These are milestones on your journey to a profitable business. Surround yourself with positive influencers, mentors, entrepreneur communities, or even motivating videos. That's what I'm here for. This will keep your energy up when you face challenges. And step number 9, you have everything you need. Now believe in yourself. We've covered a lot from finding your passion, ikigai, to identifying real problems, generating a ton of ideas from products, services, online, offline, trending, timeless, the whole spectrum. Researching the market, finding your unique angle with frameworks like Blue Ocean Strategy, testing your idea lean with MVPs, and then executing with full force. This is the roadmap countless successful entrepreneurs have followed to find their profitable business idea, and now it's in your hands. Here's the beautiful thing: you already have what it takes. The fact that you watch this video through, working on yourself and your dreams, shows that you're serious. The profitable idea is out there waiting for you to bring to life. It might be something small that grows big, or something that starts one way and evolves into something unexpected. However it unfolds, it begins with you taking that next step. Remember, every big business started with one person and one idea. Jeff Bezos began Amazon as a tiny online bookstore in his garage. Sara Blakely started Spanx with just an idea and $5,000 in her savings, hustling her way to building a brand because she believed women needed better undergarments. The common thread? They started and they believed in the idea and themselves. Now it's your turn. No more analysis paralysis. You have the tools and strategies. Use them. Start brainstorming. Start researching. Start talking to potential customers. Start building something. It's okay if it's not perfect. It's okay if you pivot. What's not okay is to let another year slip by and still be dreaming about someday. As the saying goes, the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now. The best time to start your business idea is now. I want you to bet on yourself. Take that leap of faith, even if it's a small step at first. Trust that you'll figure things out along the way because you will. You've learned how to find a profitable business idea, but it will only profit you if you act on it. I'm excited for you. This could be the moment you look back on and say, that's when I decided to change my life. So get out there and make it happen. You've got this. I believe in you. But most importantly, you need to believe in yourself. The world needs that special business that only you can create with your unique passions, skills, and perspective. It's time to turn your idea into reality, because if others can do it, you can do it too. And you will, as long as you believe. Go forth, do the work, and see your dream come to life. I'll leave you with one final word that I live by myself. Believe. To learn why you're so distracted and don't even realize it, check the video right there next to me. I think you'll love it. Continue to believe, and I'll see you there. You don't even realize how distracted you are right now. Did you know you likely tap, swipe, or click your phone over 2,600 times per day?
