Proof of Concept
We can all come up with business ideas, but it takes a unique concept to enable your idea to stick out from the noise of the competition. However, it’s okay if your idea is not 100% original. Taking products and ideas that already exist and making them better has paid off for many people as well.
Are there any businesses that are pursuing your exact idea?
Does your idea solve a problem?
Do people you know think it’s a good idea?
Do strangers think it’s a good idea?
Does your idea require an explanation or is it a simple concept?
Profitability
There are many factors that determine if a business idea is profitable, but these questions will ensure that you put some time thinking about how you will make money and how much money it will take to get started.
Is your idea specific to a niche?
Have you tested your idea or made a prototype?
Do you have a marketing strategy?
Do you have people willing to invest in your idea?
Do you know what amount people are willing to pay for your product or service?
Do you know how much it will cost to produce your minimum viable product?
Are there significant barriers to enter the market?
Mindset
You might be able to use a formula to tell you if you have a good business idea, but the biggest indicator of success is how much you believe in the idea and how committed you are to it. Motivation and persistence will take you further than you can imagine. Flexibility and open-mindedness will allow you to recognize when something isn’t working and make changes to make your business more successful.
Are you realistic about your vision and goals?
Are you passionate about the idea?
Are you open to constructive criticism?

This quiz is not to be used as a pass/fail test for your business idea. Use it to help you think about your business in ways that you might not have before. If you need to put more work into your idea, then scroll through the questions and see where your weak spots are and work to strengthen your idea. Even if your idea is solid, it is not a guarantee that it will succeed because ultimately that is up to how much work you put into it.
