Can my ideas work? Can my business model work?

Can my ideas/business model work? From time to time I may feel doubtful on the ideas that I am working with. I believe every startups may have the same question as I do. Not to mention, for those who has an idea and are still afraid to make the move to face the challenges, maybe the following tips that I used to self hypnotize myself may ease you in making your decision.

If Thomas Edison did not invent the light bulb or if Graham Bell fails to create a telephone. Do you think you still could still see in the dark without wood and fire, or do you think you could communicate with your loves one over a far distance. How many times do you think they have failed?

If you said you wish to fly in the sky today, no one will annoys you, because the teasing has been ended since the The Wright Brothers invented the first airplane.

Thomas Edison started today’s world famous General Electric and Graham Bell owns a Bell Telephone Company that has evolved into today’s AT&T (American Telephone & Telegraph Company). Hence, there must be something in common that these inventors/entrepreneur possess to make them what they are today. There are 3 things that I always keep in mind, which I am still learning to master it.

  1. Thick Face - Prepare to be called an Idiot. Are you ready to face the laughter, annoys, teasing, and harassment from your loves one and friends.
  2. Passionate and Determination - Are you able to accept failures! Fail and Restart all over again? Do whatever it takes to make things happen?
  3. Believes - Do you believe in what you are doing? do you believe in your idea? Do you believe everyday is a great day?

When someone pointing at you saying that your ideas won’t work. Are they really saying that the ideas will not work? or are they saying that they themselves are not able to do it? or is there a flaws in your ideas like for example, the targeted market, competitive advantages, the niche in your product that you have miss out? So, you should be glad that some one is telling you that your ideas don’t work, because opportunities still lies ahead of you.

The above mentioned items is generally known by everyone, however, how many did manage to master it? Saying is easy, Mastering is hard. Starting is always the hardest part, to really kick start an idea, first must master the above mentioned items. Next you should look at your approach, strategy, marketing, product niche and etc that will determine and strengthen the success to your ideas.

Some story to share

Just to share a story that I read in the papers which I felt very inspiring. The story is in chinese, I manage to Baidu the story from a china website, and I translated it with Google Translate…. I hope it inspires you too.

总裁的昨天
一个城里男孩移居到乡下，从一个农民那里花了100元买了一头驴，这个农民同意了第二天把驴带来给他。第二天，农民来找男孩说：“对不起，我有一个坏消息要告诉你——那头驴死了。”男孩回答说：“好吧，你把钱还给我就行了！”可农民告诉他钱花掉了，男孩想了想，就让这位农民把那头死驴给他。
几个月后，那农民又遇到了男孩，农民问他后来如何处置死驴的，男孩说：“我举办了一次幸运抽奖，并把那头驴作为奖品，我卖出了500张彩票，每张2元。”
农民好奇的问：“难道没有人不满吗？”
男孩说只有那个中奖的人表示不满，所以我把他买彩票的钱还他，这样我就赚了998元。
许多年后，长大了的男孩，成为了一家大公司的总裁。
