Hey guys, how's it going?

I'm not sure if it was already asked or not, but I would like to ask you what are the most important questions you ask yourself to validate a business idea?

I would need to create myself a list so that when I get an idea to go through it and stop my mind wasting time on useless crazy ideas.

Looking forward to your answers :-)
