workshop

FIND your ULTIMATE STARTUP IDEA

OR VALIDATE the one you have!

A 1-DAY WORKSHOP  |  WEDNESDAY 16 JUNE 2021

Don't have an awesome startup idea? Let's find you one and validate it.

Already have a great startup idea? Good. Let's validate it.

So you've either been sitting on a great startup idea for a while or you're searching for one!!! 

Either way, you're in the right place.

Ever notice that the really true great ideas aren't that great at all? They're often simple and always personally important to the person themselves. That's what keeps the idea going, keeps that person interested and keeps getting them up each morning to following through.

That's also where you'll find purpose, fulfilment and satisfaction.

This is a hands-on, life-changing workshop designed to determine what's important and valuable to YOU as a person and then to find the RIGHT startup idea that's personal, profitable and in alignment with who you are and your values!!! Then we'll expand on it, build a vision and identify the "experiences" you need to move forward with clarity and certainty.

And there's a bigger picture...

Gold Coast Innovation Hub and Design Moshpit have partnered to put together this 12-month program of workshops to create your Startup Model Canvas. The entire program is about putting aside an hour or two a week to work on developing your idea. Something someday you can earn money from.

 

But first, the idea.

This workshop is a 7-step process to generate and validate a startup idea that's right for you!

what's a great startup idea?

an idea makes that excites you!

If you already have an idea, let's validate it.

One thing that will waste your time is starting on an idea you later find you don't enjoy. If it's NOT important to you then don't do it. An idea that isn't in line with your values or beliefs isn't motivating and it's going to feel like a grind - everyday!

 

An idea that IS motivating gets you out of bed happy and energised. The day is already half won. Check your idea against the process. You might save you a few years on running the wrong idea or you might find a better one in alignment with who you are and what's valuable to you.


If you don't have an idea we'll find one inline with your values.

No idea? We have a process to help you uncover what's valuable and important to you. A process to cut through the cloud of confusion and help you separate out the great startup ideas. It's simple, it's logical and it works.

WHAT SHE SAID ABOUT IT

"things kept coming up"

"Allowed me to mind-dump and realise that a lot of things that I had only given a fleeting thought to, actually kept coming up. Without this process, I may have missed an important aspect of my journey. It was also interesting to see where my focus was going and where I could change it to balance out and create more flow. I absolutely loved the interactive tools we used, it was very cool to see all of your ideas displayed right in front of you and then be able to condense them down into your purpose at the end. Absolutely Brilliant !!!"

The process I was taken through was consultative, and comprehensive and the end result showcased not only the very best representation of the workshop, but a creation and re-imaging of it I could not have achieved myself.

The participants received so much amazing value from the workshop that I have integrated both the creative and delivery into my programs as an ongoing offering in replacements of what I was delivering prior."

"We used the process to develop a new online service. It helped us to think about our product processes and elements from different perspectives and resulted in a product that better suits the needs of our clients.

It is a scaffolded process that enabled us to re-imagine how we can add value to our clients. It added energy and enthusiasm and a holistic personal tailored approach that we needed, to make this innovative new service a success."
