How To Tell If You Have A Great Idea
Before you launch yourself into starting a new business you need to have some idea of how likely it is to succeed. And, assuming it’s successful, just how profitable it can be. There are plenty of experts — books, family members, blogs, hair stylists, etc. — that will, with varying degrees of expertise, tell you the value of your business plan. (I’d put my money on the hair stylists as the best of the bunch.) If you want to be thorough you can do market research until you’re so thoroughly confused you forgot what the question was.
If you want to know how far you can take your idea you must make the leap. No matter how awesome your idea may appear on paper, there is no guarantee of success; no matter how crazy your idea, there’s no guarantee of failure.
As you go the way of life,
You will see a great chasm.Jump.
It is not as wide as you think.
— Joseph Campbell
