2) Determine if there is a market for your idea(s). Once you have a list of ideas based on your skills, experience and interests, you need to research if there are people will to pay money for the product or service you want to offer.

3) Research your idea(s). Before you can start a business, you need to know what's involved, such as how much money will you need, what steps do you need to take to get a license or distribute your product or service.

4) Make a choice based on what excites you and you can commit to following through on. Profits follow passion. So, don't make a decision solely based on perceived income.
