This topic emphasizes the importance of the idea. Starting a new business today can be very challenging given the circumstances in which we live and with which we struggle. Thinking about the pandemic and the crisis that arises with it. But that shouldn't scare us because on average, people change several jobs during their working life. Those who leave work often deceive that entering entrepreneurial waters will leave them homeless and do not have the courage to take such a step. Because of that, first, you need to think carefully about whether you are ready to embark on this adventure and take a risk. The good news: Starting a home-based business is available to anyone who wants to take risks and work hard, as well as a host of other cheap ideas.
In this topic you will learn:
- What is an idea,
- What is the path from an idea to business?
- What is testing and reducing risk?
The main objectives of this topic are described in the following video:
