Rare solutions for common needs = innovation

I’ve been an entrepreneur for two years now. I’m still far away from the promised land. In terms of money, I still “used to be much better” on the labor market. In terms of self-confidence, “I’m twice the man I used to be”. My goal is to turn things around on 2012 and create twice as much cash-flow, and let other’s invest money in my ideas…

Over the years I’ve learn that experience allows you to ask the right questions, and there’s nothing more valuable on the entrepreneur’s arena than knowing how to pop the right questions…

For instance, we’re on the produce industry, we own greenhouses… Some of the right questions are:

Can we do a business model where we can use people’s homes and resources (electricity + water + real state + internet) to produce perishables and market them locally?

Who is our most important client, the consumer, or the retailer? Do their needs vary? Currently, our competitors are focused on consumer needs, but are there any unfulfilled needs from the retailer’s side that could result on a market opportunity?

What are your right questions?Goals

Most of our actions are meant to carry character in a sort of senseless continuum. It shouldn’t surprise us that only a handful of decisions concede true definition in our lives.

If you’re the new kid in town, you can’t compete on price, because you’ll go out of business. On the other hand, you do have to get customers. That means offering them more value at the going rate.
