DAVIS’ BUSINESS ADVICE TO THE ONE QUESTIONEES
Joshua Nagenda @HIM_15JN
#1qn.Business is a venture wea you make or break but how does one venture into a particular business and know its the right one?
@zyee1qn First, it has to be right for you, then ask, ‘is it right for my targeted customer?’ #1qn.
@zyee1qn Select what u r passionate abt, then find out it serves a community need and how much pple are willing to pay for it. #1qn
#1qn Market base is divided into parts commanded by those with big capital/stock so doesnt one need alot of money there4 to make it?
