Opportunity: On
this venture concept I have once again changed my idea! I have decided to hold
off on the idea of renewable energy by using motion in the gym because the idea
is simply too expensive and isn’t feasible at the moment for me. However,
recently I have new inspiration to start a business on amazon through FBA. You
know how you buy products on using amazon prime? Well I will be the supplier of
some of those products! This idea came up during an entrepreneurship club
meeting and one of the speakers spoke on this topic. I find this to be a great opportunity
because of the low start up cost for me and the large margins I can make
because of the cheap product. Some forces that have allowed this opportunity to
come about is amazon. Amazon allows suppliers to send their products to the
shipping factories at amazon. When a customer purchases the product they ship
it out for you and handle everything else. This makes it easy for both parties
to buy and sell. Another key to the opportunity is the supplies; which are
coming from china. Finally, the last aspect of this opportunity is the consumer.
In recent years, more people are purchasing online and less in the stores.
Every year the deals get better attracting more and more people. With a
combination of cheap prices and fast shipping this trend isn’t going away
anytime soon.
Innovation: As
of right now, I have no innovated anything for my business venture because I
intend on entering a market that already exist with less competition. Selling
on Amazon is all about quality control so I might innovate an existing product
with better materials.
Venture Concept:
Now I will explain the process on how my venture works. First, I will research products
I can buy in China and possibly tweak it to my own liking (in the process).
After, I find a product that I want to produce I will contact the company in
China and discuss the prices and hopefully speak with someone of higher
position to ensure I am getting what I paid for. The next step is to receive the
product and making sure everything is ready to ship out to amazon. Once it
ships to amazon it is a waiting game as the products slowly start selling.
After a customer purchases the product I will follow up with an email seeing if
they have any problems and if they would rate my product. Ratings are important
because it makes the product seem more reliable to customers and makes the feel
safer about purchasing the product. After the product starts to sell better and
I have more revenue I will begin with the second and third product line. To
keep up with production I will outsource my employees so while I am busy they
can handle my emails and place orders for the business. My end goal is to make
a business that can stand on its own away from Amazon.
Minor Elements
The most
important resource for this venture is the supplies. The quality must be on par
with other products or in some case better to attract and keep customers.
In five years, I
see myself in the same industry. I want to keep producing products and weaning
myself away from amazon into my own company.
This venture concept is completely different from my last concept. On this venture concept I have once again changed my idea! I have decided to hold off on the idea of renewable energy by using motion in the gym because the idea is simply too expensive and isn’t feasible at the moment for me.
I did not use the feedback from my last venture concept.

I like that you're taking the feedback to heart and adapting to ideas that are feasible for you to implement right now. That's a smart tact, so long as you feel the feedback is accurate and substantiated. There are always going to be naysayers, so I wouldn't let them get you down if YOU think you've got a good chance at success.

ReplyDeleteHi Peter,
ReplyDeleteYou sound very ambitious and entrepreneurial minded based on the fact that you have changed your concept and that with your new idea you are going to start in Amazon but break away into your own company. It sounds like you know what you are talking about and that you have the potential to be very successful. Good luck if you chose to implement this new idea!

Thanks for sharing!
Hi Peter,
ReplyDeleteI applaud you for changing your business idea due to the feedback you have been getting. I must say though that from the brief description you provided, I would have been interested to see what you had in mind for energy production from a gym! In regards to your new business concept, even though you are right on the money when it comes to logistics, I think your idea is lacking originality. I think the whole purpose of this exercise is to develop a business that will meet an specific need, and it seems that you got some work to go to accomplish that.
