In my final article I talked about how an concept isn’t going to make a enterprise. I stated what’s essential is who’s behind it, however you continue to want a enterprise concept to start out a enterprise and the higher product or concept you may have the better the method can be. Listed here are 3 steps you possibly can take to simply provide you with 100 enterprise concepts in lower than a yr.
Step One:
Hold a file in your cell phone named “enterprise concepts.” In case your cellphone doesn’t have this capability or you don’t personal a cellphone carry a small piece of paper and a pen round will you as a substitute. What you need to to is each single time any form of enterprise concept or product concept involves your thoughts you immediately write it down in your cellphone with a easy sentence or two. Don’t fear about how wired of an concept it’s or how silly it might sound to you now simply jot down the concept. The important thing to this step is that the perfect concepts often come up if you find yourself going via your day by day lives. Concepts will strike you on the most attention-grabbing occasions if you find yourself encountering day by day issues and fascinating in day by day dialog. The one factor you can not do is considering the concept is undoable or unprofitable you need to write it down anyway. So long as beginning a brand new enterprise is a spotlight for you concepts will maintain coming to you throughout your day by day life.
Step Two:
Subsequent to your desk you need to maintain a notepad and it’s best if the be aware pad can keep in view always (it is perhaps finest to place it on a wall you all the time see or subsequent to your laptop.) The explanation for that is to maintain you centered in your purpose of arising with new enterprise prospects. Label the highest of those notepad enterprise concepts. As soon as per week write the listing you may have created in your cellphone and listing these down on your online business concept be aware pad. It is vitally helpful to maintain this be aware pad in view and in your thoughts to remind you of your purpose of arising with high quality enterprise concepts.
Step Three:
This step takes essentially the most dedication. Dedicate one hour of each week (you need to often do that after you switch concepts out of your cellphone to your be aware pad.) Throughout this hour you need to have a look at the concepts in your be aware pad and analyze them. See what the nice features of them are and the unhealthy ones. See if any of them can match collectively in anyway or if the spark any new concepts and write any new concepts down. That ought to take not than 10 minutes.
After that, any concept in your be aware pad that appears affordable in anyway must be put right into a spiral pocket book. Title this pocket book “Enterprise Concepts” and quantity the pages 1-100 or 1 to no matter quantity your attempting to achieve. For every enterprise concept that isn’t fully ridiculous it’s essential write three brief paragraphs. The primary paragraph must be titled “Product” the second, “Market” and the third “Worth.”
- For the product paragraph merely give a quick clarification of the enterprise mannequin or product.
- Out there paragraph describe whom you may be promoting this product to. You should be extra particular than 18-24 yr previous males. It must be one thing much like 18-24 yr previous male school college students who go to the College of Oregon and golf recreationally. The extra particular the higher.
- Within the worth paragraph it’s essential clarify the worth your buyer will receive by shopping for this product. If that is exhausting to provide you with it in all probability isn’t an excellent enterprise concept as a result of it has no actual worth on your clients.
Filling out the spiral pocket book will take totally different quantities of time relying on what number of entries you may have that week, however every entry shouldn’t take greater than 8-12 minutes to make. If it does you might be spending an excessive amount of time on it.
It is best to have some further time after this (if not that’s OK and you’ve got already added plenty of merchandise to your pocket book.) Spend the remainder of the time analyzing the concepts in your notepad, revisit some previous ones and provide you with new concepts so as to add to the spiral pocket book. You can too learn a few of your previous product concepts to see in the event you can provide you with some variations for brand spanking new product concepts. Mainly spend any further time centered on fascinated about new product concepts.
After getting stuffed your pocket book with enterprise concepts you possibly can look over all of them and decide essentially the most promising and write full enterprise plans for them. Not all of them will look very enticing, however you might be sure to have a number of that catch your eye as having some good potential or perhaps even a number of that you just actually have you ever motivated to get began.
The “100 Enterprise Thought Journal” is a good way of arising with some high quality enterprise concepts to get began with, however for it to work you should be severe about arising with some high quality product concepts. After a whilst you ought to begin getting a number of strong enterprise concepts outlined each week and be getting nearer to beginning a enterprise that you just discover actually has some potential.
