Generating a business idea is just the first step in starting a business. It's important to carefully evaluate and refine your idea before proceeding with the planning and execution process. However a young entrepreneur may definitely stumble when trying to establish a successful business idea, he or she may have ideas but remains kind of sceptical to pick the one that can be successful among the rest. Here are some things to consider when generating a business idea:

* Identify a problem or need in the market: A successful business solves a problem or meets a need that exists in the market. Think about the problems or needs that you have experienced personally, or that you have observed in others.

* Validate your idea: Once you have an idea, it's important to validate it to make sure that it is a viable solution to a real problem. This can be done through market research, such as surveying potential customers or testing a prototype.

* Consider your target market: Who are the customers that you will be targeting with your business? Understanding your target market will help you tailor your product or service to meet their specific needs.

* Evaluate your competition: It's important to understand who your competitors are and how you will differentiate your business from them.

* Consider your unique value proposition: What makes your business idea unique? Why should customers choose your product or service over those of your competitors?

* Think about the scalability of your idea: Can your business idea be easily expanded to reach a larger customer base, or is it limited to a specific geographic area or market segment?

* Determine your business model: How will you make money with your business? Will you sell products, offer services, or both?

* Consider your resources: Do you have the financial, human, and technical resources necessary to bring your business idea to fruition? This should be the final and last Factor to consider if you want to establish a long-lasting business idea.

Generating a good business idea is never an easy task for an individual especially a young entrepreneur to do. However for a young entrepreneur to increase his other chances of coming up or generating the best out of the best idea he or she must have in mind the picture in which he or she is about to paint in the neighborhood. He or she must definitely have in mind the amount of financial resources he or she is capable and able to give into the business to make it grow and to develop. For example if an individual have the business idea of establishing a barbing salon, some of the possible factors to consider include furnishing the environment in which is going to be called the barbing saloon environment, and also making sure that the barbing salon is very much me to its targeted audience as well as population of people.

List of all the individual who intends to establish business must consider the legality of the business. If the business is an illegal kind he or she may not stand the chance to establish the business.

As for me I believe that whatever kind of business and individual want to go into or want to establish he or she must have in mind the necessary resources in terms of capital that is going to be adequate and sufficient to bring such business idea into existence. It is true that generating a business idea is absolutely not an easy task and the majority of business owners as well as business managers have failed to generate a good and effective business ideas. In order to make sure that your business ideas are effective you can try discussing it with someone for example a business counselor who can totally hear and listen to your business ideas and give you necessary corrections and suggestions when needed.

Capital is absolutely not the only thing to have in mind but instead you must also have in mind the perfect location for your business. If your business is going to be a kind that sells and renders consumer goods and services, it is important to situate or to locate such a business in a well populated area, but if a business is going to be on the agricultural side, it should be on a less populated area
