Business ideas, Unchained: Just how you can find viable business ideas and take the entrepreneurial action

By Kudzai Munyavi

STEP I: FINDING BUSINESS IDEAS, HOW CAN I?
1: Find and take away pain – I don’t want pain, they don’t want pain and you don’t want pain. Everyone is running away from pain. Look for pain and be a painkiller. Ask your target customers what pains them most in their jobs or daily routines and see if you can find a solution to that pain. If look for ideas this you will be guaranteed on revenue as they will potential paying customers.

2: Ask why – Ask: why do you do it this way, why do you have to go that way, why do you have to buy that, ask why!

3: Look for weaknesses in competition – Analyse the products and services of your competition and flag the areas where there are weaknesses and come up with your product or service that capitalises on those weaknesses in your competition.

4: Make them lazy –People love to have more time at their disposal so that they can do what they love. Why can’t you make people lazy or give people time?

5: Celebrate when you see problems –When you see problems, roll up your analysis sleeves and find the solution to it.

6: Create A Need, And Fill It –If you have an innovative mind, you can create a need (or activating a dormant need) and create the product to meet the need.

7: Jump onto the bandwagon - Keep up with current events and be ready to take advantage of business opportunities.

8: Who are you? – Examine your own skills to find business ideas. Look at your skills and leverage on them to offer a service for value.

9: Carry a notebook – business in one part of the world is a business idea in another part.

10: Ideas are around sharks – just swim with sharks!

11: Make wishes come true – make wishes come true really!

STEP II: I GOT THE BUSINESS IDEA, NOW WHAT?
1: Take the first step with the resources you have now – it’s about taking action with the means at hand. You don’t have to wait until everything falls into place.

2: How much are you willing to lose – what are you willing to lose. To act on your ideas without risking it all, you start risking what you are willing to lose. That means, if you lose that money or time, you will not lose sleep, curse yourself or commit suicide.

3: Learn from what you experience – the key to success is learning from what you are experiencing. Measure and re-act. Start new action, Stop what’s not working and continue what’s working.

4: Pursue or Pivot – if it’s working Pursue and if not Pivot.
