Business & Start-Up Ideas

This is the most comprehensive guide on going from business ideas to starting a business because the book is based on research of 300,000 entrepreneurs just like you Prior to writing the book, I observed 300,000 entrepreneurs who used my Problemio business apps to start a business. I personally talked to 1,000+ entrepreneurs right on the apps or in my business coaching practice. This gave me a great understanding of what entrepreneurs go through, the kinds of problems you will run into as you start your business, how to steer you clear of pitfalls and guide you towards success. This book will help you by giving you step by step advice on almost every step you must take as you go from business ideas and start your business. In my research, I noted every question entrepreneurs ever asked (my apps allow entrepreneurs to ask questions) as they were going from business ideas and starting their businesses. I grouped those questions into topics and subtopics. Those topics and subtopics became the chapters and subchapters of this book. The book starts by covering business idea fundamentals such as: - How to get business ideas - How to protect business ideas, and whether you should protect business ideas - How to determine if a business idea is good - What to do if you have too many business ideas and can't decide which is best - What next steps to take after you have a great startup idea The book also teaches you about options to help you protect your business ideas and your intellectual property: - Trademarks - Patents - Copyrights - Non-disclosure agreements (NDA) - Non-compete agreements After that, the book teaches you business planning and strategy topics: - How to write a business plan for your idea - How to incorporate great business strategy into your overall business model - Revenue streams for your business to help you understand where your business might make the most money After that, the book helps you understand how to start the business and covers: - Business registration and when to register a nonprofit and a for-profit - How to start your business with solid fundamentals by learning from business leaders like Eric Ries (Learn Start-up) and Steve Blank (Customer Development Methodology) - How to choose a good business name - How to cheaply create a website and start operating online The book also teaches you ways to raise money with: - Donations via crowdfunding - Loans - Grants - Investments - Creative strategies Once you have solid business idea fundamentals, the book guides you through how to write a business plan for your business idea and eventually takes you through the steps to start your business.
