Business Solution

One of the most common questions entrepreneurs is, I start my own business, but I have no idea what business to start. The “great” idea is something that every business would pay millions, but great ideas are only possible if we take big decisions.

There are many people with wonderful ideas, with dreams that are left alone in that, in a dream and are never made by inaction.

Most businesses start because someone had found a need and not as satisfying. Big business grew out of simple ideas that “no one had occurred,” perhaps that’s not true, perhaps we had all thought but only the entrepreneur had the guts to develop the idea.

The greatest source of inspiration for ideas of business is life itself. You have to look around, see what could be done better, that could fill a need. In difficult times is when most ideas come because people have more needs and because these are more evident.

More than a century ago came the great “inventors”, the Edison, Bell, Westinghouse, Ford. Today is the time of the great “reinventor” people who find a new way to improve traditional inventions. We’re talking about cars with new fuel sources that likely will not look at all the Model T by Henry Ford, and smart cell phones we see very different from Graham Bell’s invention, and certainly the “reinvention” of companies and services will be the source of the business development of the second decade of the 21st century.

80 percent of the products and services we consume today did not exist years ago. The iPhone and smartphones for example did not know them 5 years ago and today are an integral part of our lives. 10 years ago we did not imagine that we would not need CDs to listen to our favorite music and today we can say that they are collectibles. I remember with pride my first Sony Walkman, a revolution in the 80s and a few months ago the Japanese company was given formal burial. Music stores and video rentals are disappearing, iTunes, Netflix, Redbox, are players that did not exist 6 years ago. The iPhone, the Kindle and other devices are changing the way people read and well in all aspects of life.

What would you think if I told you in 10 years, 80 percent of the products and services we use today will not exist or be different? So, change is constant, so that new businesses are subject to that change or disappear.

With everything I have told not already have a clearer idea that it’s time to start a business? Yes, this is the time I was waiting, the moment he found Henry Ford when he found a need that everyone was trying to solve transportation. Ford began his business in the garage of his home, tells the story is that when he went to get out of it the first Model T, the vehicle went through the door, so he had to knock down the driveway to get him out of it.

Is the garage and bedroom, the most common places for successful entrepreneurs. I started my business in the bedroom, until my wife took me out of it to see the light remained on until 2 o’clock in the morning.

The ideas are there, closer than you imagine, under his feet and may not have noticed.

In a future article I’ll tell you how to look.
