The Five Minute Business Idea Tester

In this episode of Join Up Dots, David Ralph dives into the question every aspiring entrepreneur faces — how do you know if your idea is actually worth pursuing?

Inspired by a listener's email, David unpacks the 5-Minute Idea Test, a simple but powerful way to validate any business idea before wasting months of effort or money. 

Through real-life examples and down-to-earth advice, he shows how to quickly test demand, find your target audience, and spot red flags early. If you've ever been stuck wondering whether your idea has legs, this episode gives you the clarity and confidence to take your next step wisely.
