Coming up with Business Ideas

Come up with a business idea

1) Focus on your strengths

You know what they say, if you do something you love, you'll never have to work a day in your life. Starting your own business takes an incredible amount of work but if you enjoy what you do, it'll make it so much better. What do you like to do? Hobbies? Interests?  

2) Find a problem and solve it

People with problems need a solution, simple as that, the solution is your business plan.  Start with a list of common problems  and problems that personally frustrate you, it's very likely  they're problems for other people.

3) Find a need and service it

Similar to finding a problem, do you see a need addressed? If you see  a business  that doesn't meet the need of its consumers? Is there a need in the area that is not being met by businesses in the area? If you see the opportunity of a missing business, take it. 

4) Be a forward thinker

Technology and business tend to think ahead of the curve. Ask yourself "What's next?" Can you predict a possible problem or  need that might come around once technology gets to that point? 

5)  Do it better

Do you see a business model that you can apply to a different industry? Is there something you can do  better? Are there products you can sell cheaper? If  your business model is better, faster, cheaper or newer - you have a much better chance of  a viable business.
