WAY TO YOUR OWN BUSINESS – BUSINESS IDEA

BUSINESS LIFE CYCLE Idea Business plan Business funding, organising Developing product / service Marketing BAU (Business As Usual)

LEARN FROM THE BEST

STEPS TO DEVELOP A GOOD BUSINESS IDEA 1. Think about what goods or services would improve your life. Keep a list of your personal strengths and weaknesses in mind. When you look at that list, does anything come to mind that would improve your life? Spend some time considering your own experiences. With some time and creativity, you can probably identify several products or services that would help you.

STEPS TO DEVELOP A GOOD BUSINESS IDEA 2. Decide whether you'd like to provide a product or a service. A new business idea will likely either be based around a product or a service. Each requires some thought and creativity. They both have advantages and challenges that you should consider before focusing on one or the other.

STEPS TO DEVELOP A GOOD BUSINESS IDEA 3. Identify a problem with the existing industry. Frequently, businesses or inventions began because someone was frustrated with the current way of doing things. A good way to come up with a business plan is to look for these problems. If you're feeling frustrated about something, it is possible that others feel the same way, which gives you a potential market.

STEPS TO DEVELOP A GOOD BUSINESS IDEA 4. Build upon an existing business idea. Rather than a problem with the current industry, you might notice something that a business does well. Take that and see if you can improve upon it. By taking ideas one step further than the current industry does, you can carve a good niche for yourself in the market.

STEPS TO DEVELOP A GOOD BUSINESS IDEA 5. Look towards the future. You can do this by asking yourself what the next logical step is for a product or service. By looking at current trends and taking them a step further, you can come up with an idea that will be ahead of its time and potentially revolutionize the market.

STEPS TO DEVELOP A GOOD BUSINESS IDEA 6. Conduct preliminary consumer research. While market research is usually only used after you have an idea, you can do some early research to discover what people value. This can help you come up with an idea based on people's wants and needs. Use Internet (the most searched keywords, forums, etc.)

STEPS TO DEVELOP A GOOD BUSINESS IDEA 7. Apply your skills to a different field. Oftentimes, you can creatively apply skills learned elsewhere to improve a completely different field. Leo Fender, for instance, worked as a radio repairman. He used his skills in electronics and amplification to build the first electric guitars. When considering your business ideas, take all of your skills into account.

STEPS TO DEVELOP A GOOD BUSINESS IDEA 8. Write down all your ideas (brainstorm). Get into the habit of writing down every idea you have in a notebook. Carry this with you at all times, because you never know when inspiration could strike. This way all your ideas can be kept in one convenient place. Flip through it regularly to see if you can expand on any of what you've written down.

STEPS TO DEVELOP A GOOD BUSINESS IDEA 9. Foster your creativity. Don't be too critical of your ideas at this stage. During this brainstorming period, you shouldn't feel constrained. Instead, free your mind and see what you come up with. There are several ways you can stimulate your creativity and help come up with ideas. Take walks Explore stores Talk to people

STEPS TO DEVELOP A GOOD BUSINESS IDEA 10. Take breaks. The brain often thinks up ideas when you're not forcing it to. By taking a step back, you're letting your brain rest. During that rest time, you should do your best to not think about your business, product, or anything related to it.

STEPS TO DEVELOP A GOOD BUSINESS IDEA 10. Take some sleep. In addition to taking breaks, your brain needs sleep to stay fresh. Commit to getting a good night's sleep to keep your brain working at its best. You should also keep a pen and paper near your bed. It's possible to have breakthroughs or ideas in dreams.

VALUING BUSINESS IDEAS

1. Weigh your strengths and weaknesses in relation to your plan. You may have a great idea, but no realistic way to implement it. Before moving on with, think about if you could really follow through with this plan.

VALUING BUSINESS IDEAS 2. Investigate if someone has already come up with your idea. You definitely don't want to put months of work and financial investment into an idea, only to find out at the last minute that some has already done it. Use Internet Search patent offices

VALUING BUSINESS IDEAS 3. Investigate your competition. If you do find out someone has already come up with your idea, don't panic. Plenty of new businesses have a lot of competition when they start, and they beat it by providing a better service or product. Become a customer Talk to their customers Check them online

VALUING BUSINESS IDEAS 4. Pitch your idea to family, friends, and colleagues. Present them with your idea and tell them how it improves the current industry. Ask if they would buy your product or service, and ask for honest answers. This way you can get an early assessment of your idea from a few trusted individuals. They can either encourage your idea, provide constructive criticism, or tell you if they don't think your idea has a future.

VALUING BUSINESS IDEAS 5. Talk to potential customers. You can do several things to determine if anyone would actually patronize your business. Interviews in person Send surveys via the Internet

VALUING BUSINESS IDEAS 6. Identify risks and obstacles. Prepare yourself for these potential risks. Look down the road and see what obstacles you might encounter. By thinking about potential risks, you can improve your chances of successfully overcoming them with your business intact.

VALUING BUSINESS IDEAS 7. Determine if you have a solid plan. There are a number of components that go into evaluating your plan. Surveys you have done Your competition Cost analysis – it’s all about money

VALUING BUSINESS IDEAS 8. Rank your ideas. If you have more than one idea, rank them in order from best to worst. Subject them to all the previous questions and see how they perform. Then put them in order starting with #1, the best. That way you can make sure you're focusing your efforts on your best idea.
