⚡️ YOU Can Get Better Business Ideas


While working at my first job, I came home at night, took a shower, had dinner and went to bed thinking about starting a business.

I wanted to start something new, but no ideas came to mind. My brain felt empty, even though I knew there must be something out there for me. After a few minutes, I fell asleep.

Have you felt like that? That’s how my nights were a few years ago.

But now, things are different. We have AI.

So, instead of just hoping for ideas, we can use tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.

At first, I just asked for “any business ideas,” but nothing felt right.

Then, I tried a new approach. I gave ChatGPT a more specific prompt, like I was talking to a friend who understands what I need.

Here’s that prompt:

Act as a brainstorming expert with no limits on creativity. I’m looking for 5 innovative product ideas in the [your niche] market that solve real problems for [target audience]. Each idea should include a short description, the problem it solves, its unique selling point, who it’s for, and how it stands out from what’s already out there. Don’t hold back, think beyond the usual, and explore new materials, tech, or features that could change how people use [type of product].

The results really surprised me. I didn’t expect much, but it really changed how I think about ideas. Maybe it will for you too.

I kept going, tried more prompts, and finally wrote a blog post with my top 5 picks.

Not just for business ideas, they can also help you with market research, validation, and even planning.

Sometimes, a fresh idea can change everything.

Stay curious,

Minosh.

I had a friend who started selling wall art and he strongly believed that if he built something great, people would just show up. He launched, waited, and waited some more. Then, after a few months, I asked him how the business was going. He said he just gave up on it. He really started it, and that’s a good thing. But after all that work, it was just…quiet. Too quiet. But what he missed was telling people why they should choose him. In other words, weak positioning. He could have chosen who...

A friend once told me they bought a Kindle Paperwhite just because they saw a reel about how it changed someone’s reading habits. It’s not an ad screaming for attention, just a real person sharing their story. That’s the magic of user-generated content, it feels real. When someone sees real stories from real people, they’re more likely to trust and buy. Big brands know this, but it’s even more powerful for small businesses or creators like you. 👉 Ask for simple stories Reach out to your...

Last year, I made a 50-page free guide. I thought it was amazing. Guess what? Almost no one downloaded it. Then I made a 1-page checklist that solved one specific problem, a simple social media basics checklist. That simple thing got more downloads in one week than the big guide didn’t get in months. That’s when I learned, a good lead magnet, yes I’m talking about the free resource offered in exchange for users’ email address, doesn’t have to be big, it just has to be useful right now. #1:...
