the opportunity into a business idea > Integrating the solution into a business plan.
In the late 70s and early 80s, while IBM saw increase in demand for their mainframe computers, Steve Jobs
envisioned a personal computer in every home and Bill Gates envisioned the need for easy to use software for
personal computers. That single vision made Bill Gates the richest man in the world and Steve Jobs the most
famous business person of the 21st century.
2. Raising Capital for Startup
An Entrepreneur Is The Only One That Knows Business Idea To The Core. Trying To Convince Investors About
Something That Doesnt Exist Is Definitely A Challenge.
To overcome the challenge of raising capital, an entrepreneur must develop the ability to sell their idea and
vision to potential investors.. In the game of raising capital, an entrepreneur must have a good story to tell;
backed by a strong business plan and good persuasion skills.

5. Finding Good Employees
Business owners know how difficult it is to find a hardworking, trustworthy employee. Most employees want
to work less and get paid more.
Employees are the representatives to business customers and the outside world. They are a reflection of the
business culture and ethics. If an employee is bad or rude to customers, it is going to portray a bad image for
the company. So it must be careful when hiring employees.
6. Finding Good Customers
Good customers are really hard to find. A good customer will be loyal to the company and will be willing to
forgive if the business make a mistake and apologize. . Bad customers are responsible for bad debts.
Good customers build business and bad customers will always try to liquidate business.
