How to Validate a Side Hustle in a Weekend

A weekend test should answer one question: will a specific person take a meaningful step toward paying for this offer?

Practical method

Do this in order

  1. Choose one buyer with one problem
  2. Write a fixed outcome and price
  3. Build only the smallest proof or sample
  4. Contact 10 relevant prospects or publish to one qualified audience
  5. Record replies, objections, commitments, money and time
  6. Set a pass condition before the test begins
The decision

Write the pass condition before you begin.

A good test can produce three useful outcomes: continue, adjust one variable, or stop and keep the lesson. Extending a weak test indefinitely is not persistence; it is avoiding the decision.
