In this episode, Celeste discusses her aspiration to create a business that assists single parents, specifically young mothers. Feeling lost about where to start, she is given guidance to manifest her dream. The conversation begins with identifying the main problem that single parents face, which is the lack of resources and support when caring for children, especially during financially challenging times.
The mentor emphasizes the importance of not solely relying on social media, while also suggesting it as a potential revenue stream through documenting her journey and experiences as a single parent. They brainstorm various services that could benefit single parents, such as business opportunities that allow flexibility, peer support, financial education, and childcare assistance.
After discussing the foundational beliefs required for success, the mentor encourages Celeste to secure sponsorship from relevant brands and create a simple website to act as social proof of her endeavor. The plan shifts to building a minimum viable product (MVP) by helping a single parent directly, which can validate her idea and create a ripple effect through positive word-of-mouth.
The episode concludes with the mentor detailing the steps Celeste should take in the next six months to start her business, stressing the significance of community support, documenting her journey, and potentially developing a scalable platform that can sustain the growing needs of single parents, leveraging both personal efforts and technology.
