HOW TO START A SMALL BUSINESS PLAN There are three things you must have in your business Idea 1. Problem. 2. Desire. 3. Small chance that problem will be solved.

PROBLEM AS THE FIRST ELEMENT OF YOUR BUSINESS IDEAS A problem is an issue or obstacle which makes it difficult to achieve a desired goal, objective or purpose. It refers to a situation, condition, or issue that is yet unresolved. In a broad sense, a problem exists when To find the real problem on the market, you must analyze the current situation asking and answering these questions:     

What is the type of the problems that exists on the market? How many people have the same problem? What are potential solutions to those problems? Can we offer the best solutions for those problems? Do those solutions solve the whole problem? DESIRE AS THE SECOND ELEMENT OF YOUR BUSINESS IDEAS Some problems are big problems and some are small. Some problems can be ignored and some don’t. As an entrepreneur, you need to think about problems for which exist a big desire to be solved on the market. Desire as the element of a business idea is important also because of the price of the solution. If the desire is greater the solution will be more expensive and will bring more profit for your small business.

You will need to answer following questions to find if your business idea has a big desire:    

How much is big the problem that your business idea will solve? Are potential customers starving for a solution? How they are seeking possible solutions? What is the level of wanting to solve those problems? SMALL CHANCE THAT THE PROBLEM WILL BE SOLVED WITH CURRENT OFFERS AS THE THIRD ELEMENT OF YOUR BUSINESS IDEAS This is also important for success of business ideas, and it is all about the competition in the market about that particular problem. If the market doesn’t have big competition about the problem that your business idea solves, then chances for success with that business is bigger. At the end, you must answer two questions:

 

How many competitors sell the same or similar products or services on the market that you choose as a target market? If on the market exist too many competitors you will have a big battle with them. How you can take the position that will differentiate your business from competitions? Differentiation is one of the most important things for every business. This is how your business will look in the eyes of customers or potential customers. If you differentiate your business from the rest of the world, then your business idea will become a success. You don’t need to invent something to start a business. If you are trying to find something exceptional unique maybe you will never find. In such a way you will stay at the dreaming level for your business forever. This post is an addition to our previous post about three levels of uniqueness of business ideas:

  

Which business? What will be business subject, or what you will sell? How you will sell the products?
