In this world there are many new sites and places for people to post their thoughts and feelings. With such a high tech and connected world we have begun to form as one.
I remember, a few moons ago, when the term "globalisation" was still a buzz word used in unversity, by scholars, political scientists, and The New York Times. But we have moved away from buzz words to reality and through our evolution in this globalisation, have become the global community and global marketplace.
To truly succeed in an entrepreneurial business today there are a few items you MUST have. I have listed a few below to help your internal questions start and the wheels to start thinking.
1. Has your idea been done before? If so is it in need in your "community", can you find it elsewhere?
2. Who is your target audience? - Ask yourself who would want this
3. Set-up how you want to market yourself? Do you want to make money as the mommy-blogger - or be known as the person who started their business out of their garage (a LOOK AT ME NOW concept)
4. Do you require certain licenses by the state, county, federal government?
5. How is this going to be profitable, and if it's a non-profit, how will you pay yourself (who is interested)?
6. Is this a virtual idea - if so is your url available or did I just take it?
7. If you are going to be run in an office of sorts do you have the capital you need for rent, utilities etc?
8. Get ONLINE!!!! Make #7 a virtual idea as well
9. Get an eCommerce Manager consultant or SEO consultant to make your website seen. There is no point have a site if noone can find it!!!! (VERY IMPORTANT and a waste of money)
Take Heed to Numbers 8 and 9! As I said beforehand - we live in a global community so take your idea and make it your own - for people in Washington, NYC, London, Nepal and Tokyo to see and benefit from your amazing discovery!
