Opportunistic thinking

Do you want to start a business but don't have a business idea? It is easy to find a business idea.

Making money is a process of helping other people, delivering value to other people.

What goals do you want to achieve? Are there any other people who have the same goal as you? Can you launch a service or product to help other people realize their goals?

Are you anguishing in a tough situation? Think about it, in the country, is there only you who are anguishing in that tough situation? Or are there 100,1000,10000, 100000 or even more who are in the same situation? If so, can you do something for them? Can you help them solve the problem or at least partially solve the problem, or can you give them some mental support like empathy? Like a movie, TV drama, magazine, it doesn't necessarily solve your problem, but it may make you feel better and you will see that you are not alone. It may strike a deep chord with them which may make the movie or TV drama a blockbuster.

What value can you offer to other people? If you can offer value to thousands of people, you can make a good business, if you can offer value to millions of people, you can make a great business.

From everything, either good or bad, there is an opportunity.  A lot of people want to buy stocks, good, you can make money by helping them buy stocks. A lot of young adults are single and feel difficult to find a mate, good, you can make a lot of money by helping them find a mate. A lot of people are cynical, good, you can make a lot of money by creating a place for them to express and indulge in their cynicism.


You don't have to start a business which does something completely new. You can do something other people have already been doing, as long as you can do it better and distribute it to more people. For example, there are many coffee shops, you can also open a new coffee shop, as long as you can do it better, maybe add one function to it, or serve a purpose which other coffee shops don't serve, and then you brand your coffee shop, duplicate it by store chaining or franchising, you can deliver it to a lot of people.
