29. Business Opportunity
A business opportunity is a consumer need or want that can
potentially be met by a new business.
Sources of opportunities include:
• Problems. Many well-known companies were started because an
entrepreneur wanted to solve a problem.
• Changes. Our world is continually changing. Change often produces
needs or wants that no one is currently meeting.
• New Discoveries. The creation of totally new products and services
can happen by accident.
• Existing Products and Services. You can get ideas for opportunities
from businesses that already exist by looking for ways to improve a
product significantly.
• Unique Knowledge. Entrepreneurs sometimes turn one-of-a-kind
experiences or uncommon knowledge into a product or service that
benefits others.

30. Thinking Creatively
Creative thinking is a thought process that involves looking at a
situation or object in new ways.
• Challenge the Usual. Ask lots of “Why?” and “What if?” questions.
• Think Backward. Start by imagining the end result you want.
• Be Flexible. Force yourself to examine things from different angles.
• Judge Later. When brainstorming ideas, don’t worry about being
practical.
• Draw Idea Maps. Use whiteboards, chalkboards, and poster boards
to sketch out ideas.
• Brainstorm in a Group. Ask your friends, family, and classmates to
help you generate ideas.
• Daydream. Letting your mind wander is okay; just make sure you
pick an appropriate time.

31. Turning Ideas into Opportunities
Four common ways to turn ideas into
opportunities are:
• Starting a new business
• Buying an independent business
• Buying a franchise[A business established or operated
under an authorization to sell or distribute a company's goods
or services in a particular area]
• Becoming an inventor

32. Evaluating an Opportunity
The feasibility of an idea refers to how possible or worthwhile it is to
pursue it, to see if it is actually an opportunity.
Three methods for determining the feasibility of business ideas are:
• Cost/Benefit Analysis. This is the process of adding up all the
expected benefits of an opportunity and subtracting all the
expected costs. If the benefits outweigh the costs, the
opportunity may be worthwhile.
• Opportunity-Cost Analysis. An opportunity-cost analysis
examines the potential benefits that you forfeit when you choose
one course of action over others.
• SWOT Analysis. This is a business evaluation method that draws
its name from the four areas it evaluates—Strengths,
Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats.
