Developing business ideas can be exciting. But, it is also a lot of work, which can be equally rewarding and challenging. As you look for a starting point, ask yourself, “What is my motivation behind wanting to become an entrepreneur?”
Once you know why you want to start a business and are ready to put in the work, explore different business ideas before landing on the one you want to pursue. Ask yourself, “Does this idea or venture help me achieve my business goals?” Join a workshop or meet with an advisor who can help you troubleshoot your ideas.
