HOW TO TRANSFORM YOUR IDEA INTO A VENTURE

If you have gotten the business startup idea you want to transform into a reality but you don’t know how to transform it, read on and you will get to know how you can go about it.
The hardest part for many entrepreneurs is executing their idea. They might have gotten the great idea but to execute it, they find it difficult to do. Why? They might be looking for the next step to take or even scared of dishing it out.
The more time you waste on a business startup idea, the more the idea will be dying or someone else will execute it. So, to transform your idea into a reality you must be smart and fast. You don’t know who is thinking about the similar idea with yours. Bothering yourself about if it will get perfect will get you nowhere. So stop wasting time on a startup idea.
Steps To Take In Order To Transform Your Idea Into A Reality:
  • Chat With Experts:
Most of you might be scared of sharing your startup idea with someone so that the person will not run away with the idea. I do have that kind of mindset before; it’s of recent when I got convinced that keeping your idea to yourself will help do no good.
Before sharing your idea with people, know the kind of people you want to share it with. Try to look for people who are in the game before you, people who are professionals in the game. Though this does not really matters, you can still share it with people who are in the game but they are not yet professionals. You just have to watch the kind of person you will share your business idea with.
Chatting about your idea with experts will open your eyes to something’s you never knew. Don’t be scared to discard your business idea because when you share an idea with an expert and you both find out that the idea is not worth transforming into a reality due to one reason or the other, try to discard it and look for another startup idea you can start. But if you think that your startup idea has a bright future, go ahead and give it a shot!
When you chat with expert about your idea, and if the idea is worth trying, they will share with you tips on how to turn it into a profitable one in order to yield positive results. Embrace the mindset of sharing your startup idea with people you trust and forget about someone stealing your idea.
  • Take Research:
You need to take research on your startup idea. Try to know who your competitors are and what they are lacking in order to implement it so as to stay ahead of them.
You can also apply this logic when taking your research, try to know the customers who patronize your competitors and ask them what they feel about your competitors and what they want your competitors to do for them in order to serve them better.
That does not mean you should be monitoring your competitors here and there because if you should do, you are just wasting your time. The time you used in monitoring your competitors, you might use it to do something productive.
You just need to take proper research about who your competitors are in order to get prepared and know how you can stay ahead of them. Trying to get your competitors customers in order to interview them (not all) has to do with strategy so as not to get busted.
  • Build Your Team:
To be candid, if you want to win big in the business world, you must build your team. Because it’s lonely at the top. To win, you alone can’t do it. You need to surround yourself with people who are smarter than you in order to lift you up and help build a great business.
So if you are looking for cofounders who will work with you in order to transform the idea into a reality, try to look for people who will fill up the space you are lacking.
For instance, I want to start a tech startup, and I know that I’m not a good developer. But to do it, I need to find a CTO (Chief Technology Officer) who will work with me in order to transform the startup idea into a reality. So try to know the space you need someone to fill up and look for the right person who will fill up the space in order to get something doing.
  • Do You Have A Unique Knowledge Of Improving It?
Though this would be asked by the person who you are sharing your startup idea with. Before looking into a startup, you must have a unique knowledge of improving by being innovative - doing the old things in a new way.
Another entrepreneur who starts a startup without considering this category is likely to fall off the board. You must be ready to give the game a life in order for the universe to reward you. If you can’t, don’t even bother to start the startup.
Be innovative so as to last long in the business world. Also by being innovative you will make your startup a profitable one. I’m sure you don’t want to do the same thing your competitors are doing? You have to think outside the box in order to dwell on the mountain top.
  • Create It:
After doing all this, try to get your hand dirty by executing the idea. The more time you waste in execution, the faster your startup idea dies. Don’t bother about perfection because if you should do. You will regret ever trying to transform your idea into a reality.
Stop wasting time, you just have to screw up and do it! Or “Just Do It Like NIKE” By the time you start, you will get to know other steps to take but if you don’t give it a shot, how will you know the next step to take? I’m urging you to get your hands dirty and stop wasting time. See you at the top.
