CURATE YOUR SUCCESS
How to Validate Your Business Idea
Show Summary:
One of the best things I’ve learned from interviewing entrepreneurs is that no one’s path turns out as they expected. There are so many twists and turns to get to where they are today. Elle Drouin is no exception. She turned a business that involved an Instagram famous dog, and built a separate photography business into an empire without any photography experience all based on a need in the market and through business/product validation she took the due diligence to research before taking the full-time leap.
No matter what your business is, validating your business is a critical step to take before you build out your entire business, product or service offerings. If you go into it with an open mind and find ways to get the information you need, your product will be well worth the investment of time and energy because you’ll know exactly what your ideal customers are looking for.
For creative ways to validate your business and to learn how a seasoned expert entrepreneur, Elle, tune in to this episode now to hear how she successfully brought a need in the market to life.

I remember when I first started my business, and was trying to make my website, social, and other content look #profeshAF. It took a lot of work, and more time than I really want to think about. I was spending hours searching for the perfect photo.
Thankfully, I found something that saved me a ton of time and finally helped me get that professional look I was going for. I joined Styled Stock Society a few years ago and I haven’t looked back.

It’s like I get a million more stock photos just because I can use them in so many different ways. And I don’t have to do all the work! #WinWin.
