find your weaknesses:
  • why: usually one of these will cause you to fail
  • it is reverse of specfying your strengths.
  • good questions to ask are:
  • is the product or service really very different from that available in market--lack of differentiation maybe a fatal problem
  • so much competition that niche is too hard to create-- this maybe a important weakness
  • is it possible to find a good location --very bad for retailer, company selling to public
  • ur newness itself maybe a problem --agressive marketing strategy can be helpful but costly and time consuming, potential consumers maynot know u r in business.
  • try to establish relations with suppliers/consumers etc. so that they can become evangelists and u get preferred treatment ( from suppliers).
  • employess maybe able to keep up with production, distribution and selling problems at acceptable level due to experience levels.
  • maynot be able to keep going financially while improvements are being made in processes, products etc.
  • lack of enuf capital is a big problem
  • underestimation of financial operations
  • interest on debt maybe a issue
  • credit from suppliers -- u may have to Cash on delivery

i think may be i can do it better sometime
