What business should I open? This is a question that usually comes to our minds first when we start imagining ourselves as an entrepreneur. This same question is one of the most common ones I receive as a Business Coach and Business Consultant.And it comes with questions about capital, market, location, and chances of success. As simple as the question is, its answer requires time, thought, and planning. Because a business is not just an economic activity. We should know from the beginning that a business is based on 4 pillars:  identifying opportunities, managing resources, creating change and creating value. The 4 pillars of a business’s success Recognition of opportunities A business starts by recognizing an opportunity, identifying a new need in the market, a new technology, or a new approach to an existing type of business. In other words, we need to be able to clearly describe what we will offer or produce better than the competition. Resource management The success or failure of a business often depends on the effective management of resources. When we say resources, we mean financial resources and people. An entrepreneur must select the appropriate resources – in financial capital or in human resources – and manage them effectively. Create a change Business is not just a process of producing and selling goods or services. It is primarily a process of creating change. Business can change people’s lifestyles, create new jobs, and contribute to economic growth. Value creation Value can be economic, social or environmental. The entrepreneur must create value for customers, employees, suppliers and society as a whole. Contact us What business should I open?
