Lots of business Ideas but still not able to start?

                          

World is moving faster then the expectation of our last generation, back then we had few business and more of working potential population...but today we all are extra energetic not in health but in passion to pursue our own business.

And when it comes to thinking about an idea to start business we are externally intelligent as the very moment we think of starting a business we are flooded with millions of business idea..But the irony is we are trained thinkers and not trained executors due to which most of the entrepreneur today are stuck in the trap of idea generation and struggling to executive their  business plan.

 Lets understand which are the key factors which hold us back:

• What to start? we have many ideas...haha
• How to start? we just have ideas but no money...haha
• Where to start? the only location our business stays is in our own mind but about the physical location we are still wondering
• Customers?  seems like we are the only customer of our own product.

Lets ponder and try to solve this simple questions:

• Start with something which you can make at home ..it can be anything which you think will amaze you and so do the people..it can be a product or service
• Money is critical but not necessary when you are just starting..just spend what you can and invent a product or service with what you can afford to spend on ( Service can be your key skill).
• Where to start? haha...check the history of all the successful entrepreneurs..they all started from house garage..
• Customer? check your Facebook's friends list..inst its big enough..hahah...go and pitch the product to them and let them share to their friends as well.

Now what are you waiting for!...........lets get started :)

Cheers
