PODCAST EPISODE SYNOPSIS
Sometimes clarity shows up mid-spiral — and sometimes it shows up at 11pm with ChatGPT open and a course idea you can’t let go of. This week’s business nugget is a behind-the-scenes walkthrough of how I took a single problem (garden pests) and used the Rule of Five Ones to map out a complete digital product funnel. We’re talking: real keyword research, messy naming pivots, and the moment it finally clicked. If you’ve been circling an idea but haven’t found the frame — this one’s for you.

INSIDE THIS EPISODE
🖤 How I used the Rule of Five Ones to reverse-engineer a full funnel around one clear offer: Stop Garden Pests Organically.
🖤 Why naming the course was the hardest part — and how ChatGPT helped me spiral forward instead of just spinning in circles.
🖤 The exact prompts I used to brainstorm course ideas, test keyword demand, and identify gaps in the gardening market.
🖤 The moment I realized pests were the entry point — and how everything else I wanted to create could layer in from there.
🖤 A peek at the funnel framework: core offer, order bump, upsells, and down sell — all mapped out for $400 average cart value.
🖤 What finally clicked after weeks of second-guessing: “It doesn’t have to be complicated — it just has to be clear.”
