                   Generating a Business Idea

            A business idea is a solution that entrepreneurs think about to serve their customers. The idea  determines what business
            an entrepreneur pursues to make a profit. The idea can be a product, service, or hybrid model. There are a few important
            points to consider while thinking of an idea.

                 1.  What is the purpose of a business idea?

                 2.  What do you understand by critical thinking?







                   Customer’s Need
            An idea must satisfy the customer’s demand or need. A business idea can occur from an existing need in the market
            or from a desire to improve what is already in the market. The product or service may not satisfy the customer’s needs.
            Hence, there is a need to fill the gap. So, an entrepreneur thinks of starting a business to fulfill this need.
            For example, during the winter season, when the weather is very cold, people like to sit in the sunshine and drink hot
            tea/coffee/soup, so an entrepreneur can start a hot drink stall in a busy market. Entrepreneurs often work with the idea
            that they are passionate about. Not all entrepreneurs start with work as per market needs. Some entrepreneurs use their
            own interests and talents to start a business and serve their customers. Knowing your interests and aptitude is certainly
            important for entrepreneurs. It leads to self-confidence, and even others believe and trust your abilities.
