Start The Process

🔑 STEP 1: Find Your Business Idea

Ask yourself:

• What problems do people face that I can solve?

• What are my skills, passions, or hobbies?

• What do people around me often need or ask for?

📌 Example:
You notice that many students in your school struggle with organizing notes. Maybe you could create a simple app or a printed planner for that.

🧪 STEP 2: Validate the Idea

Make sure your idea is something people actually want.

• Talk to potential customers (friends, classmates, neighbors)

• Ask them: Would you use this? What do you like/dislike about it?

• Check if there are similar products or services (competition is good — it means there’s a market)

💡 STEP 3: Plan Your Business

Write a simple business plan (don’t worry, it doesn’t have to be long).

Here’s a mini version:

1. What is your product/service?

2. Who will buy it (target market)?

3. How will you reach them (marketing)?

4. How much will it cost to make, and how much will you charge (pricing)?

⚙️ STEP 4: Start Small (Prototype or MVP)

Create a basic version of your product or service to test.

• If it’s a product → make a sample

• If it’s a service → offer it to a few people for free or at a discount

• If it’s digital → mock it up or use simple tools to build it (like Canva, Notion, etc.)

📢 STEP 5: Launch and Market

Tell people about it!

• Use social media (Instagram, TikTok, etc.)

• Word of mouth

• Posters/flyers (if it’s local)

• Ask happy users to share or refer others

💸 STEP 6: Make Money and Improve

Once people start buying:

• Keep track of sales and feedback

• Use the money to improve your product or expand

• Stay consistent!
