Business Idea
Below is a listing of one hundred and five business ideas thought of by middle and high school students. Hopefully this listing will illustrate the principle that business ideas are a dime a dozen and it is always the execution that counts.You should build on your strengths and surmount or work around your weaknesses, and possibly cut your cloth to meet your main limitations. For example, there is little point in searching for capital-intensive or knowledge-based ideas if you have slim/no prospects of raising the necessary capital or if your educational background is unsuitable.

To start with, a good idea is to sit down with a sheet of paper. Divide it into two columns. On one side, write down the pluses and minuses of working for an employer away from home. On the other, do the same thing but for home employment. When you’re looking at the results, think about things such as whether you need to be around other people or whether you’re happy working alone, whether you can cope with a lack of financial security, whether you are extravert enough to get out there and market whatever service or product you are providing, whether you have the spare funds to pay for marketing costs such as a website, whether you’re willing to go on courses to improve your skills base … the list goes on.
