Subscription Businesses — Part 3
You do not have to know everything to begin. You are on step 167 of your CEO journey.
Today you will explore Subscription Businesses and finish with one action you can use in real life.
Simple explanation
• Subscription Businesses helps you turn a problem into a small solution you can test and improve.
• A strong first move is to build the simplest version that proves one important part of the idea.
• You are looking for what a real person does, says, or chooses while trying it, not a perfect answer on the first try.
Real-world example
Maya notices classmates losing water bottles. Before ordering supplies, she draws three name-tag clip designs and asks ten students which is easiest to use.
Vocabulary
Problem: a real difficulty or unmet need worth understanding.
Solution: an idea designed to improve or remove a problem.
