Deep dive into finding the actual problem and stating it. Does the problem exist for everyone? or Just you? Define the for which it exists. Those people are your . Validate the existence of the problem by talking with them. Whether they have experienced it or not? If yes often? If you can’t clearly think of the problem it tries to solve, or your don’t consider it as a real problem, either change your or Think of a new problem to solve. market segment target customers HOW target customers target customers I am writing this blog to solve the I asked my buddies, whether they have faced this problem or not?

WHY WHY I searched for solutions online, but couldn&apos;t find any of the available solutions solving the problem effectively. I went through many blogs, articles, websites but each one of them i.e. structured, user-friendly and comprehensive framework . For example: lacked the very basic thing (ineffective implementation) 3. Define the WHAT: This is the step in which you come up with a solution. Framing your solution depends on the result of the above step. Think about what form your solution will take, Will it be a product? Service? What will be the key features of the product?

Guys stop being a <a href="https://www.quora.com/What-is-a-wantrepreneur?ref=hackernoon.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer ugc"><strong>wantrepreneur</strong></a>, think of a new business idea, do a set of exercises or validations before taking a decision on whether to move forward with the business idea or not and make a business out of it. Here are 6 early steps you can take if you have a great business idea in mind:</p> <h4><strong>1.</strong> <a href="https://medium.com/@jneeraj0807/first-step-to-validate-your-business-idea-e24d357768ee?ref=hackernoon.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer ugc"><strong>Explore the WHY and Define the WHO</strong></a><strong>:</strong></h4> <p>The first step is to think about the reason behind the business idea. Why did the business idea pop up into your head? What is the problem it is trying to solve? Deep dive into finding the actual problem and stating it.</p> <p>Does the problem exist for everyone? or Just you? Define the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_segmentation?ref=hackernoon.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer ugc"><strong>market segment</strong></a> for which it exists. Those people are your <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Target_market?ref=hackernoon.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer ugc"><strong>target customers</strong></a>. Validate the existence of the problem by talking with them. Whether they have experienced it or not? If yes <strong>HOW</strong> often? If you can’t clearly think of the problem it tries to solve, or your <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Target_market?ref=hackernoon.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer ugc"><strong>target customers</strong></a> don’t consider it as a real problem, either change your <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Target_market?ref=hackernoon.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer ugc"><strong>target customers</strong></a> or Think of a new problem to solve.</p> <p><strong>For example:</strong> I am writing this blog to solve the <strong>problems faced by</strong> <a href="https://www.quora.com/What-is-an-entrepreneur?ref=hackernoon.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer ugc"><strong>entrepreneurs</strong></a> <strong>(WHO) in validating their business</strong> <strong>ideas (WHY).</strong> I asked my buddies, whether they have faced this problem or not? Is it actually a problem? <strong>(problem validation)</strong></p> <p>For in-depth understanding of the concepts explained in this step kindly click on the following link:</p> <h4>Chapter #1 : <a href="https://medium.com/@jneeraj0807/first-step-to-validate-your-business-idea-e24d357768ee?ref=hackernoon.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer ugc">A Unique Way to Problem Identification and Validation</a></h4> <h4><strong>2. Search for existing solutions:</strong></h4> <p>Search for existing solutions. Search the internet, discuss with friends, colleagues etc. Check how effectively the solutions have been implemented, whether they solve the problem or not, if yes then how efficiently? If you can’t find any implemented solutions, explore the <strong>WHY</strong> behind it. Don’t proceed to the next step until you have discovered the <strong>WHY</strong>.</p> <p><strong>For example:</strong> I searched for solutions online, but couldn&#x27;t find any of the available solutions solving the problem effectively. I went through many blogs, articles, websites but each one of them <strong>lacked the very basic thing</strong> i.e. structured, user-friendly and comprehensive framework <strong>(ineffective implementation)</strong>.</p> <h4><strong>3. Define the WHAT:</strong></h4> <p>This is the step in which you come up with a solution. Framing your solution depends on the result of the above step. Think about what form your solution will take, Will it be a product? Service? What will be the key features of the product? At this stage just think of features necessary to solve the problem at hand. Note down the features <strong>with the WHY</strong> defined for each one of them. Create a basic layout of <strong>HOW</strong> your product will look, with key features embedded. Be ready for changes, as the next step involves going out and exploring the market.</p> <p><strong>For example:</strong> I figured out that I will write a blog for a start. I have defined my product here. With time, as I get more and more feedback, I will shape the journey of my product.</p> <h4><strong>4. Do Market research:</strong></h4> <p>After you have the <strong>WHAT</strong> figured out, get out of your comfort zone, go out and explore the market out there. This is the most important step in the whole process as it defines the practicality of your product’s success.</p> <p>Talk with your <a href="http://www.burstcreative.com.au/graphic-design/potential-customers/?ref=hackernoon.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer ugc"><strong>potential customers</strong></a>, pitch them your business idea, show them the <a href="http://www.experienceux.co.uk/faqs/what-is-wireframing/?ref=hackernoon.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer ugc"><strong>wireframes</strong></a>, ask how much they would pay for it? Whether they would recommend it to their friends/relatives or not?</p> <p>Check out your <strong>competitors</strong>, their <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_share?ref=hackernoon.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer ugc"><strong>market share</strong></a>, market hold, products and compare it with yours. Talk with start-up founders, investors, take their advice and feedback.</p> <p>Also analyze the present and future trends of technology, government rules and regulations, investments and other limitations in your play-field.</p> <p>After this step, you will have a clearer idea about <strong>WHAT</strong> your product should be. Incorporate all the feedbacks captured in this step to shape the <strong>WHAT.</strong></p> <h4><strong>5. Figure out the HOW:</strong></h4> <p>After passing through all the above phases, you have pretty much everything figured out. One thing that remains is figuring out the <strong>HOW.</strong></p> <p>You have the requirements from above phases, state them all down in this step. Figure out <strong>the HOW much and HOW</strong> of the initial funds, <strong>HOW</strong> and <strong>WHO</strong> of building product, <strong>HOW</strong> of making money, <strong>WHAT</strong> of product timeline. (Basically figuring out the ability and time required)</p> <h4><strong>6. Build and Test:</strong></h4> <p>We haven’t built anything until now. This is the step where we start to build the product. We build the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_viable_product?ref=hackernoon.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer ugc"><strong>MVP</strong></a> here. Build, test it on real customers, derive learnings and iterate. There are many ways in which you can build and test an <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_viable_product?ref=hackernoon.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer ugc"><strong>MVP</strong></a>. You can find many articles online on it, choose the technique that best suits your case. This step marks the end of validation phases, of the business idea .</p> <p>One thing I want to quote here: <strong>“Build in Phases, Release early, Learn early”.</strong></p> <p>I am doing research in finding the actual reason behind the high attrition rate after the Ideation phase.
