Feel the need to get back on track? Tired of mediocrity? Forget the business plan for a minute. Go back to basics. Great success in business doesn't come from performing at the status quo - - it's a by product of solving a customer problem.

Here's the process of finding a great idea...as I understand it...

spend two days working...like normal... and write down any problems you encounter during the day on a piece of paper.

then spend another two days talking to as many people as you can - - and try to find out what the biggest problems in their lives is...

and then spend the fifth day compiling the list ...and boil it down to a couple problems you would like to try to solve.

the next steps are easy.

What do you think the best solution is?

How (if any) do people currently solve the problem?

Contact a few of the companies that provide a solution (or similiar solution) and learn about the customers you would be helping.

Decide if you have the right know how to provide this service.

If you think you have enough positive feedback ... Go To Work.
