Anyone have some good business ideas?

Looking for a new project and struggling to come up with a decent idea. I'd try anything as long as it's not too capital intensive to start. Thanks

Guide to Design thinking.


Establish there is a problem.
Do you encounter anything you perceive as a problem/need in every day life and if so what is the existing solutions? How do others view this ? Do they share your view or are they content that it isnt a problem or there is no need for any product or solution? This is called the Empathy stage

Define the problem

From speaking to as many people as possible you should have a clearer picture on whether there is a problem that needs to be solved or a want or need that needs to be satisfied, or perhaps there isnt

Ideate
Identify the themes and content that you gathered from speaking to ideally as many people as possible and from there you may develop 1 or more solutions

Test/Prototype your idea
Speak to people and gauge their opinion on your idea and whether they think its a viable solution or whether they perceive flaws or whether they have any interest in your solution

Iterate

Rinse and repeat the process if and where necessary.

Ask first person you see if you can treat their windsheild with an amazing water repellant product, push the safety aspect on flyer and in person.
Charge 5 euro for windsheild. Do 100 cars a day .

Promotional models are nothing new.
Whether it's for flyer handout and explanations
..or demonstrations of what's on offer.
