Hey everyone,
I hope you all have had as great of
a day as we had here at Cfm Jpm Enterprises.
Today I’m going to discuss how to come up with business ideas that you
are passionate for and will enjoy doing while making money. This process can take a few days for you to
complete so don’t rush take your time.
The first thing you need to do is
go somewhere quiet. This means no
television going in the background, no family members disturbing you
either. You want a place where you can be
alone with your thoughts.
The next step is to have 10 blank
pages with you so you can write down your top 20 favorite things. Yes I said 20, uses both sides of the paper
to help save a tree. These lists can
include anything at all, even if it seems foolish write it down because you never
know there might be a niche out there for it.
If you are having trouble coming up
with any ideas or just are saying,” there’s nothing I like.” Well consider the
following question and see if they help the juices flow from your mind to your
pen:
·
What do you love?
·
How do you spend your free time?
·
What do you watch on television?
·
What gets you excited?
·
What did you enjoy growing up?
·
What do you talk about with your friends?
Now see were those question so
hard to find 20 of your top favorite things?
This exercise we are doing right now is what most successful business
men do when they are trying to find a new way to make money.
Now the next step is to under your
20 top favorite things to do your now going to write at least 10 ways you can
make money in each category. Remember
this is not a race to finish but to actually think about the ways you could
make money from these ideas. I’ll give
you an example:
I wrote down on one of my sheets SOCCER
Then under that I wrote down the
following:
·
Coach soccer
·
Open a soccer equipment rental place
·
Work for a professional soccer league
·
Referee soccer
·
Start a league
·
Open a soccer supply store online
·
Create videos on how to play soccer
·
Make an E-book on the rules of soccer
·
Etc…
Now that you
have made you list now what you want to do is actually think about the ideas
you came up with to make money and see if there is actually a market for
it. When you have finished going through
the lists you should have about 5 or so business ideas left on your lists. Remember you need to like these ideas A LOT!
Some of you
might be asking why do I have to love the business I’m about to start? Well I’ll tell you some good reasons:
1.
You might as well be happy while you’re making
money,
2.
The excitement of starting a business will wear
off eventually,
3.
The passion for the niche will keep you going
even when things are getting tough,
Well I sure hope you find this helpful in
deciding what you would like your business to be.
I’ll talk with you guys soon,
