7 Principle That Drive Steve Jobs
4 Tips On How To Attract Investors By Blogging
1. Does It Make You Excited? One thing that every business requires is enthusiasm. You have to be energized about your idea! If you’re not excited, then how can you expect others to be?
2. Is it Different … enough? Many people believe that there are no new ideas. While that might be a bit extreme, it is fair to say that no business is 100% different than everything else out there. What matters is that your idea is different enough that people find it interesting and worth sharing.
3. Would it Pain You If It Never Came To Fruition? Of all the business-related angst I’ve witnessed, nothing seems more haunting than the experience of regret. That mournful curiosity about “what could have been” — if only you had done something differently and given your business venture a shot.
4. Is it Worth Giving Something Else Up? All businesses require some level of sacrifice. Whether it’s fewer social events, a tightened-up budget, or the loss of corporate perks, something’s got to give to make room for the enormous commitment that businesses take. So it’s important to consider what you would give up to bring your idea to life.
5. Does It Get Good Feedback? Not everyone has to love it, but your idea should at least be conversation-worthy. When you talk about your idea, do people understand what you are explaining? Do they seem interested and excited? Do they ask good questions and give relevant suggestions?
So, where do you stand? Are you ready to jump? If not, give yourself some time and keep exploring the idea. If yes, welcome! The opportunities and rewards are more than you can imagine.
