 See what others have done. See what you can do. In general, when starting your own business, you are an entrepreneur and not an inventor. You want to research and stick closely to the tested. If it works, don't fix it. Copy it. When you invent something, you double your challenges. You first have to convince customers that they want your new or better something. Then, even if you succeed at the convincing, you have to make them buy from you. After your business is established, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to innovate and try new ideas. Again, this is best done after your business is established. As you think about entrepreneurial opportunities, don't forget any networks or connections that may give you an advantage in starting your own business. Did you acquire skills working as a child in a family business? Can you take over an established family business? Does your uncle or your neighbor or your brother-in-law or a former classmate have connections to assist your business? There is a proven path to follow. Follow it.
