Step 2:   Getting Money and Material: Once you have your business idea, the next step is to gather the
                       money and materials needed to get started. You don’t need a big investment right away—starting
                       on a small scale can help you manage costs and grow gradually. Use the money you have to purchase
                       the basic materials essential for your business.
              Step 3:   Understanding Customer Needs: Once you start selling, you’ll begin to learn what your customers
                       truly like and want. Pay close attention to their feedback and buying habits, as this will help you
                       improve your products or services. You’ll also discover what they don’t like, giving you a chance
                       to make necessary changes and better meet their expectations. This stage is all about listening,
                       adapting, and building a loyal customer base.

              Step 4:   Improving Product/Service:  Use the  feedback  from your  customers about  what  they  like  and
                       don’t like to refine and improve your product or service. Constantly improving based on customer
                       input helps you stay relevant and competitive in the market.
