Seeds of business ideas exist in everyday life

There are still many ways to discover business ideas. There are many seeds lurking in daily life and work. The 10 items listed above are tips for finding them.

However, it is not always necessary to be aware of all 10 items. You can start by taking a quick look and picking out only the things that come with a pinch. Even that alone, things that have been overlooked so far and “something that you don't care” in the corner of your memory should become a seed for valuable ideas.

Although business ideas can be discovered using only one of the 10 items, I would like you to combine them as much as possible. In particular, it would be ideal if you straddled your own axis and business axis.

By the way, these stories are easy to understand by referring to actual examples. Businesses that combine novel ideas are introduced in various media, so reading these articles and analyzing what hints the business has combined should be a study.
