Ready to start a business? Have a killer idea?

There is a big difference between an innovator and an entrepreneur: capitalizing on demand.

Here are two simple points that matter before anything else:

1) Do you have a demand for what you offer?

2) If not, do you believe you can generate one?

Many people get into working for themselves because they want to make their lives better, they want financial freedom, or perhaps they want to change the world. However, as great an idea can be, there are many external factors that go into its success.

Did you know an electric car was built in the 1920s? Tablets were sold in the 1990s before the iPad ever became popular?

Did you know the first social network was SixDegrees.com and created in 1997? Yes, it was before MySpace.

They all failed because the demand wasn't strong enough for its time.

You will increase your likelihood of success if you put your efforts into what people want, and business models can always be generated to fulfill the need.
