What’s This About?
Every good idea needs a plan to work in the real world. That doesn’t mean spreadsheets or investor decks.
It means answering 3 big questions:
- Who is it for?
- How does it help?
- How could it grow or sustain itself?
This is your Mini Business Model.
Your Steps Today:
1. Watch “What’s My Element” video above.
- What a business model is (no jargon)
- Real youth-led examples
- How to make your idea “make sense” as a project or venture
2. Use the lean canvas lite/ Open your Lean Canvas Lite from the Toolbox. Fill in just these key parts:
| Section | Think About… |
| Problem | What are you solving? |
| Customer | Who are you helping? |
| Solution | What are you offering them? |
| Value | What’s in it for them? (Why they’d use it) |
| Revenue or Support | How could this sustain or grow? (money, support, resources) |
Keep it simple.
3. Reflect in Your Journal
- What’s exciting about your model?
- What part feels unclear or tricky
