5 Proven Strategies To Help Craft The Perfect Business Idea

Anyone who has ever wanted to start a business has to start somewhere. Nobody simply conjured an idea and became a success overnight. Some people got success fairly quickly, but those examples are few and far between. When it comes to starting a business, you have to be creative and have your wits about you. Simply coming up with the right product or service can be tedious, but not impossible. 

People spend decades trying to come up with the best possible idea, and some struggle throughout. The wonderful thing is that there will always be something around the corner that can solve problems. It’s just a case of knowing what steps to take exactly. If you want to step into the world of business and create something wonderful of your own, here are a few ideas: 

Find The Right Gap In The Market 

This kind of thing really is the golden ticket. It’s much easier said than done. If we could go find the gap in the market to exploit, we would all be extremely successful. Once you have found a particular gap, you can begin working on something special. It is something you have to sit down and really think about, however, because there are so many different people all trying to do the same thing and finding things out every single day. 

Use Your Personal Skills And Experiences 

At the end of the day, there will be things that you are really good at and things that you have been through. One of the worst things you can do is choose a particular field that you have seen somebody excel in. You may feel as though you can replicate their success because it looks easy when they do it. You have to pick something that you care about, and that you are good at in order to reach success, however, because you will be bored of it or struggle throughout.  Continue reading 5 Proven Strategies To Help Craft The Perfect Business Idea

Hindi mawawala ang mga sari-sari store sa bawat barangay. Nasa probinsya ka man or living your city life dreams, lagi kang makakahanap ng maaasahan na sari-sari store malapit sa iyong bahay.

Isa ka bang owner ng sari-sari store business or naghahanap ka ng sari sari store ideas to kickstart your newest business from home? Ito ang mga maaari mong gawin para mag-improve at mas palaguin pa ang iyong sari-sari store business!

1.     Cater to your customers

The best way to boost your business is to know your market. Maaaring sari-sari at iba’t-iba ang iyong produkto, pero make sure na patok sa iyong customers ang iyong mga paninda.

Kung ang location ng iyong sari-sari store ay malapit sa isang basketball o iba pang sports courts, siguraduhin na laging may stock ng energy drinks, bottled water, o ice tubig. Patok rin ang mga merienda items at school supplies kung ikaw ay malapit sa school zone.

2.     Make a good first impression

Sabi nga nila, first impression lasts! Kaya naman dapat na presentable at attractive ang iyong store front. Maganda rin kung maglalabas ng puhunan para sa magandang store signature or name card. Kung may budget, maglagay rin ng lights, decoration, at iba pang palamuti para makuha ang attention ng iyong mga customer.

3.     Prioritize the comfort of your customers

Dito sa Pilipinas, ang mga sari-sari at convenience store ay more than its products. Karamihan ng mga sari-sari store na may loyal customers ay may upuan – nasa tapat man ito ng tindahan o simpleng bangko lang sa bangketa. Tandaan, maaari ring dumami ang binibili ng isang customers kung magtatagal siya sa sari-sari store. Continue reading 8 Ways to Improve Your Sari-Sari Store Business

How To Teach Entrepreneurship to Children

With degrees in teaching and marketing, Julie is a business professional and a founder of Miss M Online
Classes – the online project offering children 8+ business education around discovering and monetizing their
talents, entrepreneurship and marketing.

Some of you may be wondering why even start the conversation about kid entrepreneurship with
primary school-aged children. Doesn’t the common belief tell us that the focus of formative years is
on building the academic knowledge? I shared that belief before my own children started school.
Now, I am convinced that modern education should go hand-in-hand with practical learning, even
better – drive academic learning.


Here are a few facts. The Australian research identified earlier commercial sophistication as one of
the characteristics of generation alpha – today’s primary school children. Born between 2010 and
2025 and predicted to be the largest generation by the time they are all born, the kids about this
generation are called ‘screenagers’ due to their early screen exposure – before they even learn to
speak. Just think about this – the largest generation in the world’s history with high commercial
aptitude! Continue reading How To Teach Entrepreneurship to Children
