What I need to Know

Everyone has his or her own needs and wants. However, people have different
concepts of needs and wants. Needs in business are important things that every individual
cannot do without in a society. These include: Basic commodities for consumption Clothing
and other personal belongings, Shelter, sanitation and health Education and relaxation.

Basic needs are essential to every individual so he/she may be able to live with dignity
and pride in the community of people. These needs can obviously help you generate business
ideas. Needs and wants of people are the basic indicators of the kind of business that you
may engage into because it can serve as the measure of your success. Some other good
points that you might consider in business undertakings are the kind of people, their needs,
wants, lifestyle, culture and tradition, and social orientation that they belong.

Environment and Market

May be one of your greatest dreams in life is to become a successful entrepreneur and
use it for your own. As person you are capable of developing your character and personality
and responding to some business challenges and opportunities. You can make things happen
by identifying the opportunities around you. You may ask yourself these questions: What do
people need? What products and services are available in the market today? Can they be
improved? How are they made or delivered? Can things be done better? Cheaper? Faster?
Can a product which is used for a specific purpose be also used for some other purposes?

You slowly find answers to these questions as you decide to do the first step in
launching a business enterprise. Be cautious however, that you should develop a habit of
identifying the opportunities around you. Only then you will find the activity both exciting and
easy.

What’s New

Needs and Wants of People

Everyone has his or her own needs and wants. However, people have different
concepts of needs and wants. Needs in business are important things that every individual
cannot do away with in a society. These includes;

1. Basic commodities for consumption

2. Clothing and other personal belongings,
3. Shelter, sanitation and health
4. Education and relaxation

What Is It
LO 1 Generate a business idea that relates with career choice in
Masonry
Basic needs are essential to every individual so he/she may be able to live with dignity
and pride in the community of people. These needs can obviously help generate business
ideas.

7
 Wants are desires, luxury and extravagance that signify wealth and an expensive way
of living. Wants or desires are considered above all the basic necessities of life. Some
examples are the eagerness of the passion of every individual which are non-basic needs like;
fashion accessories, shoes, clothes, travelling around the world , eating in an exclusive
restaurant, watching movies, concerts, plays, having luxurious cars, wearing expensive
jewelry, perfume. Living in impressive homes, and others.

Need and wants of people are the basic indicators of the kind of business that you may
engage in because it can serve as measure of your success. Some other good points that you
might consider in business undertaking are the kind of people, their needs, wants, lifestyles,
culture and tradition, and social orientation that they belong in.

Generating ideas for business

Here are some ways by which you may generate possible business ideas for business.

1. Examine the existing goods and services- Are you satisfied with the product?
What do other people who use the product say about it? How can it be improved?
There are many ways of improving a product from the way it is made to the way it
is packed and sold. You can also improve materials used in crafting the product.
In addition, you may introduce new ways of using the product, making it more
useful and adaptable to the customers’ many needs. When you are improving the
product or enhancing it, you are doing an innovation. You can also do an invention
by introducing an entirely new product to replace the old one. Business ideas may
also be generated by examining what goods and services are sold outside the
community. Very often, these products are sold in forms that can still be enhanced
or improved.
2. Examine the present and future needs - Look and listen to what the customers,
institution, and communities are missing in terms of goods and services.
Sometimes, theses needs are already obvious and felt at the moment. Other needs
are not that obvious because they can only be felt in the future, in the event of
certain developments in the community. For example, a town will have its
electrification facility in the next six months. Only by that time will the entrepreneur
could think of electrically- powered or generated business such as photocopier,
computer service, digital printing, etc.
3. Examine how the needs are being satisfied. Needs for the products and
services are referred to as market demand. To satisfy theses needs is to supply
the products and services meet the demands of the market. The term market refers
to whoever will use or buy the products or service, and these may be people or
institution such as other businesses, establishment, organizations, or government
agencies. There is a very good business opportunity when there is absolutely no
supply to a pressing market demand. Business or industries in the locality also
have needs for goods and services. Their needs for raw materials, maintenance,
and other service such as selling and distribution are good sources of ideas for
business.
4. Examine the available resources around you. Observe what materials or skills
are available raw materials by selling them in raw form and by processing and
manufacturing them into finished products. For example, in a copra-producing
town, there will be many coconut husks and shells available as waste products.
These can be collected and made into coco rags/doormat and charcoal bricks and
sold profitably outside the community. Business ideas can come from your own
skills. The work and experience you may have in agricultural arts, industrial arts,
home economics, and ICT classes will provide you with business opportunities to
acquire the needs skills which will earn for you extra income, should you decide to

8
 engage in income-generating activities. With your skills, you may also tinker around
with various things in your spare time. Many products were invented this way.
5. Read magazines, news articles, and other publications on new products and
techniques or advances in technology. You can pick up new business ideas
from Newsweek, Reader’s Digest, Business Magazines, Go Negosyo, KAB
materials and Small industry journal. The internet serves as a library where you
may browse and surf on possible businesses. It will also guide you on how to put
the right product in the right place, at the right price, at the right time. Listing of
possible businesses to set up in an area may also be available from banks or local
non-government organizations.

Selecting the Right Idea

Once you have embarked on identifying the business opportunities, you will eventually
see that there are many possibilities that are available for you. It is very unlikely that you will
have enough resources to pursue all of them at once. Which one will you choose?

You have to select the most promising one from among a hundred and one idea. It will
be good to do this in stages. In the first stage, you screen the ideas to narrow them down to
about five choices. In the stage, trim down the five choices to two options. In the final stage,
chose between the two and decide which business idea is worth pursuing.

In screening your ideas, examine each one in items of the following factors:

1. How much capital is needed to put up the business?

2. How big is the demand for the product? Do many people need this product and will
continue to need it for a long time?
3. How is the demand met? Who process the products to meet the need (competition
or demand)? How much of the need is now being met (supply)?
4. Do you have the background and experience needed to run this particular
business?
5. Will the business be legal, not going against any existing or foreseeable
government regulation?
6. Is the business in line with your interest and experience?

Your answers to these questions will be helpful in screening which ones from among
your many ideas are worth examining further and worth pursuing.

Process and Delivery

In generating business ideas, you should first identify what type of business is suited
to you. You should analyse and scan the potential environment, study the marketing practices
and strategies of your competitors, analyse the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and
Threats in your environment to ensure that the products/goods and services you are planning
to offer will be patronized and are within the easy reach by your target markets/consumers.

9
Bear in mind these simple rules for successful SWOT analysis.

 Be realistic about the strengths and weaknesses of your business when

conducting SWOT analysis.
 SWOT analysis should distinguish between where your business is today, an
where it could be in the future.
 SWOT always be specific. Avoid any grey areas.
 Always apply SWOT in relation to your competition, i.e. better than or worse
than your competition.
 Keep your SWOT short and simple. Avoid complexity and over analysis.
 SWOT is subjective
