WHAT SPARK HELPS YOU DO

Spark gives you a simple way to answer one question:

"What should I test next?"

In under 75 minutes, you’ll:

  • 1.generate 3–5 credible venture directions (not random ideas)
  • 2.choose one direction to test first
  • 3. define a clear who + problem hypothesis
  • 4.leave with a first-week experiment plan
  • 5. capture it all in a one-page Venture Map Starter (your snapshot of what you’re testing next)

(Spark is Ideate-stage by design: it gets you oriented, focused, and moving.)

YOU’LL LEAVE WITH

Outputs (practical + reusable)

  • 3–5 credible ideas → 1 chosen direction
  • Who + problem hypothesis (clear enough to test)
  • First-week experiment plan (1–3 small tests)
  • Venture Map Starter (1 page) — assumptions + evidence + next decision

Toolkit you keep

  • Direction Brief
  • Inspired Profile Snapshot (strengths, constraints, energy)
  • Problem Space Inventory
  • Idea Sprint Guide + Idea Capture Sheet
  • Micro-FAC Filter (fast plausibility screen)
  • Review + Reflection worksheet
  • AI Prompt Pack (use AI as a thinking partner, not a replacement)

Who It's For

high-performing professionals with "too many options" and not enough signal

early founders who need a credible starting point, not more motivation

builders who want to test quickly without overbuilding

anyone who wants progress that’s calm, evidence-led, and sustainable

No tech background required. Not “software-only.” If your idea is a service, marketplace, product, nonprofit, or venture-backed startup—Spark still applies.

WHAT SPARK IS (AND ISN’T)

Spark is:

  • a fast orientation + decision course
  • structured ideation that produces testable direction
  • a bridge from “thinking” to “first evidence”

Spark isn’t:

  • a full validation program (that’s Foundations)
  • a business plan marathon
  • a “find your passion” vibe course

HOW SPARK FITS THE INSPIRED SYSTEM

Everything in The Inspired runs on the same backbone:

  • Stage: Where am I right now? (Ideate / Build / Sell / Scale)
  • Map: Capture what’s true (Venture Map)
  • Fits: Identify what must be earned next (evidence gates)
  • Method: Make the decision (CLARITY)
  • Cadence: Execute weekly (DART)

Spark gets you started by giving you a clean Ideate-stage direction and a Venture Map Starter you can build on.

Course Outline

THE VENTURE MAP STARTER (WHAT IT IS)

This is your one-page snapshot of what you’re testing next:

  • your chosen direction (in one sentence)
  • who you’re serving + the problem you’re solving (hypothesis)
  • assumptions you’re most uncertain about
  • the next fit you’re trying to earn (evidence checkpoint)
  • the first 1–3 experiments you’ll run this week
  • what “evidence” would change your mind

    It’s the start of your ongoing Venture Map.

Bring structure to your next move or venture

Clarify your direction. Generate credible ideas. Leave with your first test plan.
