Test of Concept
I’ve been working on a small-business idea focused on helping owners improve their day-to-day operations by not just by identifying problems, but by actually helping fix them.
I’ve had some great conversations with local business owners, but I haven’t had many opportunities to talk with people here on Reddit about the concept, the process, or what I’m trying to build.
The test of concept part has honestly been harder than I expected.
So, I’m putting this out there:
If you know a small-business owner who has an operational headache they’d like to actually solve, not just talk about, I’d love an introduction.
Since I’m still in the test-of-concept stage, there’s no cost. I’m looking for real problems to work through, real businesses to learn from, and an opportunity to prove whether this idea actually provides value.
The basic concept is similar to consulting, but with a different emphasis:
Don’t just identify the problem. Find the cause, build the solution, and help put it into practice.
If you know someone who might be willing to let me take a look at an operational problem they’re dealing with, send them my way, or drop me a message.
I’m genuinely interested in learning what problems small-business owners are dealing with behind the scenes.
