I Want to Start a Business But Don't Have any Ideas: Start Here

Sound like you're in exploration mode. That's awesome, because 48% of our members fall into the category of "explorers". Only 33% actually take the next steps to build. So, you're in the right place! Let me help you figure this out. So, you want to start something, but have absolutely no clue what to start, yes? Are you thinking: "I see people launch random startups all the time, how do they come up with their ideas?" A little secret: That's problem number one... people aren't sitting around dreaming up random ideas and giving them a shot. Here is the truth: People lean into their skills, their advantages and what they know when they launch something. That's the key. What makes YOU uniquely qualified to launch this? What advantages do you have? Is it an amazing network of people in your chosen market? Do you have an insight that others are missing? Is your employer serving this market now but you think it can be done better? That's where you need to start. With those questions. They key is to look for specific problems + a recurring customer. What audience can you easily reach? Because you'll need to do so repeatedly. What problem are they constantly complaining about? Secret number two is to fall in love with the problem, not your idea. Why? Because your idea will morph and change over time as you talk with your customer base. They will tell you what they need if you just go out and start asking. What seasoned entrepreneurs do is they find a problem, in a market they know well, with a buyer they can easily reach and then they tentatively sketch out solutions. They don't fall in love with their initial idea, they are willing to change it over time. As they get substantial feedback from future buyers, they change the idea to fit the demand they are uncovering. So, how do you start to find ideas that might be suited to you? We created an awesome, and free, Startup Idea Generator that takes what we discussed above and tailors 10 great business ideas based on YOU. Not random market research, but what you are uniquely suited to do. Give it a try. Our idea generator was built from watching hundreds of thousands of interactions with our startup idea tools. We quickly realized that the people that move forward do so because they are uniquely positioned in the market they have chosen. Last thing: The number one misalignment we see between founder and idea is the lack of a distribution plan. Our idea generator solves this for you. If you lean into what you know and who you know, figuring out how to get your idea into the market should be much easier. Try the Startup Idea Generator and hopefully it helps you explore your startup idea further. Or, if you already have an idea, start here 👇👇
