possess.-List down all the strengths and weaknesses that you have.

before moving on with it. Think if you could really follow through
it. You may have a great idea but no realistic way to implement it.

industries. Study the industry for any problem you think
requires correction or improvement.
Step 3. Conduct preliminary research.
This is the key to get to know the market inside and
out, how it all works together, and how each thrives
with one another. Get to know what people value in
the market.
Step 4. List down all your ideas. There are endless
possibilities.
Write down all the possible ideas you have come up
with after studying and learning from the previous
steps. Every idea that comes to mind while thinking
outside the box should be written down on a piece of
paper.
Step 5. Always take breaks and get enough sleep.
The more time you have for your ideas, the better you
can improve and develop it. Letting your brain rest
makes you think more efficiently and effectively
Step 6. Investigate if someone has already

come up with your idea/s.
Make sure to research and investigate
thoroughly if your idea has not been done by
anyone else already
Step 7. Rank your ideas.
Rank them in the order that you think is the best for
you and which is the least.
Step 8. Choose your best idea.

Make sure to evaluate and weigh carefully to see which
one has a slight edge over the other. If you have finally
chosen the right one, you can start focusing and putting
all of your effort into it.
Step 9. Pitch your idea to family, friends, and colleagues.
It is good to see first what they think of it before going to
the next step. Share to them everything you have to say
about your product or service, its nature, what it is about,
and how it can contribute to the market.
Step 10. Talk to potential customers.
Go to different places near or along your community and
ask people around about your proposed idea. Give them a
brief explanation of your concept to avoid taking much of
their time. Conduct interviews and make surveys for them
to answer quickly
Step 11. Investigate competition (if any) and identify
risks and obstacles.
Looking out for the possible competition in the market is
at must for you to study along with the process of setting
up your idea, especially in determining all the risks and
obstacles you will be encountering
Step 12. Determine if you have a viable plan. Do a cost

analysis of your plan even if there is a good market for your
idea. Think about the financial aspect of your business.
Determine the level of competition
