Are you creative enough?
Be innovative and creative in creating things that haven’t been created.
It’s not always easier, in fact it’s harder. The whole Apple story is a perfect example.
Well, that wasn’t easy but look at the result.
Is this something that customers want? Do they need it?Create something people didn’t know
they needed. Focus on what products and services
will solve their problem based on their value factor.
Is this business worth it?
Because you have to put an awful lot of time and effort into this either from a personal satisfaction standpoint or an economic standpoint,
“Is it worth pursuing?” And you have to answer that with the hard facts. Market size, market growth, market potential, etc.
Can you win at it?
Obviously there are entrepreneurs who create businesses and they’re simply lifestyle businesses.
They’re looking to create a reasonable living.
It could be a similar product in competing with an existing entity.
Can you dominate the market?
Are you going to dominate a market and be first AB second?
Because if you’re not going to win then just fold-up shop and do
something else.
What is the common problem?
One of the common problems is most businesses have not set systems up where they can tell what’ generating profit and what’s causing them to lose money.
The Answer
The general answer is creating a dashboard and key performance indicators (KPIs).
It really depends on the business and it depends on what the critical success factors are for your business.
What are the key benchmarks or key indicator?Clinical trial success, intellectual
property protection, regulatory affairs and reimbursement clearance, that kind of stuff.
And if you don’t hit those benchmarks you’re dead in the water.
