- What do you want to do? If you can identify a specific problem in the world and solve it, make that your business.
- Do you have expertise in a specific area that you can monetise?
- Who is your ideal customer? Write down everything you can about who this person would be – gender, age, background, etc. This will help you market your business.
- Who are your competitors? Is there something extra you can offer that no one else does?
