Summary
Stop rushing into businesses born from half-baked ideas, misguided theories, and other forms of self-delusion. A lack of proper validation kills more businesses than anything else. As Joel Barker says, "Speed is only useful if you're running in the right direction." Will It Fly? will help you make sure you are clear for takeoff.
It answers questions like:
- Does your business idea have merit?
- Will it succeed in the market you're trying to serve, or will it just be a waste of time and resources?
- Is it a good idea for you?
In other words, will it fly?
Chock-full of practical suggestions you can apply to your business idea today, Will It Fly? combines action-based exercises, small-scale "litmus tests", and real-world case studies with anecdotes from the author's personal experience of making money online, hosting successful podcasts, testing niche sites, and launching several online businesses.
Will It Fly? will challenge you to think critically, act deliberately, and dare greatly. You can think of the book as your business flight manual, something you can refer to for honest and straight-forward advice as you begin to test your idea and build a business that takes off and soars.
In five parts, Will It Fly? will guide you through the validation of your next business idea:
- Part one, Mission Design, helps you make sure your target idea aligns with and supports your goals.
- Part two, Development Lab, walks you through uncovering important details about your idea that you haven't thought about.
- Part three, Flight Planning, is all about assessing current market conditions.
- Part four, Flight Simulator, focuses on the actual validating and testing of an idea with a small segment of a target market.
- Finally, Part five, All Systems Go, is to help you make sure your idea after all that will fly!

Really useful advice
You might not want to hear it but plunging head first into an idea you are sure it's good really isn't the way to make products people want to buy. Pat lays out his approach to finding out exactly what people want and giving it to them. You will have to work if you follow this approach but you will get something that works at the end.

what to say? it's very pedagogic. if you're a physical person. there are practical exercises to do online. if you're a audiovisual person. he is a professional speaker and hosts a successful podcast. if you're a visual person he paints a very vivid picture with his story.

Just the guide I needed
I had the beginning of an inkling of an idea but I just couldn’t grab hold of it. Will it fly broke my musings down into digestible pieces for me to focus in on the idea. Pat Flynn’s calm and steady voice acted as the perfect guide especially when I felt overwhelmed by my idea. Thanks to this book my website for Middle-Aged Entrepreneurs is now reaching the end of the runway and is ready to fly, thanks Pat for all your support and encouragement :-)

Engaging, thought provoking and practical
What a great listen. Pat includes exercises as well as online modules which you can follow along as you read. I personally really enjoyed the fun style and practical exercises, which proved very useful. This is a book you can use over and over again and apply the process to different business ideas. Definitely a keeper.

Superb as always by Pat
It seems Pat can do no wrong, just about everything he does is obviously for us rather than himself. Good man!
