- The best of businesses were incepted as a way for the founder to create opportunities for themselves by solving a problem they faced. So what is the problem your business is going to solve and what value is it going to add?
- The next step is to chart out your consumer base. Is there a need for the product? Who else is facing the same problem? Will they be open to use your solution? Does it require educating your customer?
