Dear Budding Entrepreneur, Look for great ideas outside the box. Entrepreneurs come from all walks of life. Successful ones have the ability to find great ideas and turn them into profitable venture. A few lucky individuals are born with this capability, but most acquire it through trial and error.
Great ideas come from thinking outside the box.
There are some key things to consider when looking for your great ideas. Understand that they are everywhere. But your own world view will determine which ones you can easily see. From an early age, each of us has absorbed paradigms - conceptual frameworks that determine what we believe to be acceptable. For example, if you were brought up to believe a salesperson dresses conservatively, you may think a candidate for a sales job shouldn't be sporting casual clothes.
