Startup Research

Below is the note I took on startup while taking several hours of research at Borders. There are three sections in this research report: self-assessment, interesting business ideas, networking., and money matters.

 

I. Self-Assessment

To be a successful entrepreneur, one must have the following traits:

  • Perserverance,
  • Creativity
  • Honesty
  • Organization
  • Ability to multitask
  • Courage
  • Self-Confidence
  • For $1 invested, $.05 return is average, $.10 return is good and $.15 return is exceptional.II. Interesting Business Ideas:

    Idea1: Special Occasion Sign Rental

    $55 for 3-day and $65 for 5-day rental

    Idea2: Used Book Store (ex: www.bookloverscafe.com)

    Idea3: E-books (www.7dayebook.com)

    Idea4: Tech Training (www.networksinc.co.uk/)
