Now we can see a lot of business opportunities that exist around us, be it pure online business or offline business that is go online. However, the number of business opportunities does not necessarily allow us to easily choose and run the business we want.
There are a few things we need to consider and consider before deciding to choose and run a business that first prepares capital, the second prepares the workforce, the third is the provision of raw materials as well as techniques in running the business, marketing the business optimally, then profit a business, risk a business, concerning business competition and pay attention to the latest business management is the facility and the fringe.
Topic: Some things to consider before starting a business - page 14. (Read 5025 times)
This are the things that might you consider before starting a business. How much is your capital, is your capital could be enough to sustain the needs of your business? Place or location, besure that it is wide open to the public and lot of people around. And last is, it is highly demand by the community. Know your business well and run it with passion and dedication.
In starting a business, you need to consider a lot of things such as the money for your capital, the place or location, target market, investors, number of people as your employees, the money for the construction of the building and etc. And most important thing is the skills of managing your money in order to gain in your planned business and actually, there's more but I think, I don't need to enumerate it all because the things that we need to consider depends on what kind of business we want to start to build.
OP you say that The idea is not what is important. I can't agree you, innovative idea is what makes business successful but also idea needs to be realized in a smart way. Imagine google, it's not a first search engine but with it's speed, design and functions it become first. Also bitcoin, not a first one but it was still an innovative idea like google because on that time there was only 2-3 simular thing.
Also don't forget, we can patent idea and earn money with it.

“The idea is not what is important. In entrepreneurship; ideas are a dime a dozen. Developing the idea, implementing it, and building a successful business are the important things.”
That's way Op mentioned it, there are a lot of ideas, there are many similar business, ideas are dime dozen but the most important thing is how to develop the idea, make it better, implement it. Just like you said, Google isn't the first one, the idea still the same > a search engine, but Google could manage to develop and implemented various features to make their product better than yahoo.
I'm not sure with bitcoin, as far as I know bitcoin is the first decentralized digital currency.

The picture of warren buffett is hilarious but so true at the same time, you need to know how to evaluate a business opportunity and unless you are able to see the way to make that a reality then your default answer must be no.
Well I just want to share some information regarding on how to start a business because as we can see, we are all want to have a stable business and we want to be a very good entrepreneur someday because if we're just working and working to earn money then if we can't work anymore we won't be able to sustain our needs anymore. I think this is worth reading especially those who are planning to build an ICO or a project. I've got this from my professor on college :

What Does it Take to Be Successful?
Think about WHO is going to want your product/service, what they will PAY for it, what you will NEED to carry it off, and how you will MAKE MONEY someday. That is, make a PLAN.
Success depends on
positive cash flow, growth,
and value creation.
Owners and investors who forget that tend to get “naturally deselected.”
The Importance of Value Creation
Value is delivered to your customers when you do something for them
Better
Cheaper
Faster
Cooler
Different
However, it is likely that none of these will work for long, so continuous improvement and innovation are essential.
Value is created for the owners when:
-You do more with their money than they could do with it themselves
-You invest in productive activities that earn rates of return greater than their risk-adjusted costs of capital.
-The present value of future cash flows exceeds the startup costs.
Value is created by:
-Exploiting proprietary physical resources
-Possessing proprietary knowledge or expertise
-Creating a new or improved product, process, or service
-Staying ahead of the competition through constant improvement and innovation
Planning for Success
-Don’t plan a business for today – Plan it for at least a year from now.
-Moore’s Law: Computing power will roughly double every 18 months.
-Bandwidth will continue to increase for most users almost ad infinitum.
-People will live longer and maintain active lifestyles far after retirement.
-Energy sources and consumption patterns will change drastically.
-The world will continue to be a very dangerous place.
How To Not Get Funded
-Have a half-baked idea
-Have a meatless business plan
-Can’t articulate your value proposition
-Can’t identify your market potential
-Can’t justify your sales projections
-Can’t show your investors an exit
-Can’t show your investors a reasonable expectation of a reasonable return on investment
-Don’t think about risk
-Take no risk yourself
-Don’t take time to do your homework
-Try to fund a “lifestyle” venture
Funding Your Venture
-The hardest funding to raise is the first funding. You are probably on your own.
-Later funding gets progressively easier depending on the results you can show to investors and what you need to fund.
-BANKS are probably not going to help.
-The best funding is INTERNAL funding (reinvested earnings).
-PRIVATE EQUITY is the current buzzword for the major capital source for business ventures.

1. Are you really capable in this field.
2. Do you have money to spend?
3. The field you invest is really true, customer needs how.
4. How much profit does it bring?
5. Development.
If you want to start a business you need to do some research first from the place that you will build a business. Do some research to find out what is the best business for that place and what are the most people need in that place and after you find out what is the most necessary thing in that place then just build a business with a solid team or employees and also don't forget to accept bitcoin.
This time if you use bitcoin in the business it is not a good idea, this is because the popularity and the legalise of bitcoin. Some countries did not accept the bitcoin cause its illegal, and some people have no idea about in bitcoin. To start a business you need to plan, think the possible result, like what you said it needs a place were it is demand and has many people. Or start a business that in your place is nothing, you have no competent.
Well I just want to share some information regarding on how to start a business because as we can see, we are all want to have a stable business and we want to be a very good entrepreneur someday because if we're just working and working to earn money then if we can't work anymore we won't be able to sustain our needs anymore. I think this is worth reading especially those who are planning to build an ICO or a project. I've got this from my professor on college :
NOTE-REFERENCES : Webster’s College Dictionary (Random House/McGraw Hill)
What is an Entrepreneur?
Entrepreneur: A person who organizes and manages an enterprise, especially a business, usually with considerable initiative and risk.
Initiative: Readiness and ability in initiating action.
Risk: The hazard or chance of loss.
NOTE-REFERENCES : The Portable MBA in Entrepreneurship, 2nd Ed.; William D. Bygrave, Editor. John Wiley and Sons Publishers, 1997.
What Does it Take to Be Successful?
Think about WHO is going to want your product/service, what they will PAY for it, what you will NEED to carry it off, and how you will MAKE MONEY someday. That is, make a PLAN.
Success depends on
positive cash flow, growth,
and value creation.
Owners and investors who forget that tend to get “naturally deselected.”
The Importance of Value Creation
Value is delivered to your customers when you do something for them
Better
Cheaper
Faster
Cooler
Different
However, it is likely that none of these will work for long, so continuous improvement and innovation are essential.
Value is created for the owners when:
-You do more with their money than they could do with it themselves
-You invest in productive activities that earn rates of return greater than their risk-adjusted costs of capital.
-The present value of future cash flows exceeds the startup costs.
Value is created by:
-Exploiting proprietary physical resources
-Possessing proprietary knowledge or expertise
-Creating a new or improved product, process, or service
-Staying ahead of the competition through constant improvement and innovation
Planning for Success
-Don’t plan a business for today – Plan it for at least a year from now.

Before starting a new business you need to have done your job, by this I mean you need to have done your homework of doing research and knowing whether or not the business would be evergreen and profitable in the long run NOTE-REFERENCES : Webster’s College Dictionary (Random House/McGraw Hill)

What Does it Take to Be Successful?
- “In entrepreneurship, luck is where preparation and opportunity meet.”
- “The idea is not what is important. In entrepreneurship; ideas are a dime a dozen. Developing the idea, implementing it, and building a successful business are the important things.”
- “Would-be entrepreneurs who are unable to name customers are not ready to start a business. They have only found an idea and have not yet identified a market need.”
- Somehow, someday… you are going to have to earn POSITIVE CASH FLOW. You need more than a revenue model (but you do need that). You need a VALUE model.
- Market share is great, but you can’t pay bills with it.
- You can do some financially stupid things to build market share.

Thank you! I've been reading a lot of articles about how to start a business because I really want to start one.
I have a stable job but I want to have my own business as well.
This is very informative.

This is very informative.
OP thanks for the helpful thread.
Well for me if you're planning to start a business you should start by asking yourself what really interest you. Your likes and hobbies or where are you fond of. Then out of these you can think what business you'll put up. You should also know your target market and you should analyze carefully the market. You can also get some useful informations in business books and some are in internet. There are a lot of sources that can be helpful to start up.
My question here is how can peoples start business with bitcoin if they are not tech savvy?
