How Great/Bad is My Idea?

⭐ Inventors Pathway – Validation Video

The Validation Video inside Inventors Pathway is one of the most important—and eye-opening—modules in the entire program. It walks creators through the process of determining whether their idea is a hit or a miss before they spend money on prototypes, patents, manufacturing, or marketing.

In this video, Michael breaks down the exact methods he’s used for decades to test ideas quickly, cheaply, and accurately. Instead of relying on gut feelings or feedback from friends (who will almost always say, “I love it!”), the validation process shows inventors how to get real, unbiased market data from real consumers.

The video covers:

How to ask the right questions so people give honest, useful feedback—not polite answers

What signals prove your idea has real demand (and what red flags mean “stop now and pivot”)

Simple testing methods you can run in hours, not months

Low-cost tools to check market size, competition, and buyer interest

How to avoid the biggest validation mistake inventors make: falling in love with their idea instead of confirming the world wants it

By the end of the module, viewers know exactly whether their product idea is worth pursuing—or whether it needs tweaking before moving forward. It saves inventors time, money, stress, and wasted effort by giving them clarity early in the process.

This validation step is the “truth check” that separates successful innovators from those who get stuck or overwhelmed.
