3/100: How to Identify Business Opportunities Great businesses start with a simple idea: solving a problem. The key to identifying business opportunities is paying attention to the challenges people face daily. Entrepreneurs don’t wait for inspiration—they observe, ask questions, and listen. Start by looking at your surroundings. What annoys you or others? Are there inefficiencies, gaps, or unmet needs? Pay attention to industries you’re familiar with, as you’re more likely to notice opportunities there. Talk to people—friends, colleagues, or potential customers—and ask about their frustrations. Often, the best ideas come from these conversations. Trends also offer opportunities. Look for emerging technologies, changing lifestyles, or shifts in behavior. For example, as people became more eco-conscious, businesses offering sustainable solutions thrived. The key is to align a trend with a specific problem and create value. Identifying opportunities is a skill that gets better with practice. Keep a notebook of problems and ideas, no matter how small they seem. In the next article (4/100), we’ll discuss validating your ideas to see if they’re worth pursuing. For now, pick one problem you’ve noticed and brainstorm potential solutions—it could be your next big idea!

अच्छा सर तो आप ही बताए कि अब कौन सी प्रॉब्लम है जो हल करे , नहीं आप खुद सोचिए हर प्रॉब्लम का हल निकल जा चुका है अगर उस फील्ड में जायेगी तो फिर उनसे comptision करना पड़ेगा जो पहले से ही उस फील्ड के अच्छे sales deller है और अगर फिर भी वही bussiness करने चले तो वो कंपनी कोशिश यही करती है कि वो हमारी कंपनी कैसे बंद कर सके , कहने की बात होती है कि bussiness बनाना आसान होता है लेकिन सबसे difcult part bussiness ko बनाने में लगता है, और सबसे बड़ी बात अगर कोई भी bussiness करने चलो तो funding देने वाला invester यही पूछता है कि ये बिजनेस तो ये कंपनी पहले से कर रही है आप नया क्या कर सकती हूँ उनको बताते बताते दिमाग का जो बाजी पाला होता है वो अलग सीधी बात तो ये है कि इन्वेस्टर को किसी भी नए इंसान पर भरोसा करना ही नहीं चाहती, तो हमारी idea 💡 का हम लोग चाहे कितना भी अच्छा प्रशासन कर ले कुछ फायदा नहीं है। समझें
