How To Decide What Business Idea To Work On: Passion Vs. Need
There are two main ways Entrepreneurs usually go about deciding on a business venture: Passion vs. Need.
When following a Passion Entrepreneurs either have an idea that inspires them, something they think will change the world for the better or something that they just have to bring out.
Here the selling point is mainly their emotional attachment to this project or idea and they create a baseline of value, money and need around their initial passion.
These can be great ideas that revolutionize everything or just a slightly different, but important take on something new.
The positive side of this is that they are usually able to work much harder for their business idea. They can drive more energy and motivation from what they do and end performing better with the business on average.
The downside is that a lot of the times these ideas come from already existing concepts.
Most of the Passion ideas of Entrepreneurs are nothing new and are rarely unique enough to offer something special. It therefore takes a lot of hard work for them to actually get to a point where they develop their idea enough to sell it effectively.
