To seek out ideas that will generate some quick sales. The sooner you get a win on the board the better off you are and the more enthusiastic you will be. 5.

Is there a widespread demand for your product or service. 7 avoid products that are merely extensions of competitors products. Develop a target market that is independently stable. For example, if your idea is to develop a LCD lighted cell phone case your business model will change with the latest cell phones. 8 stay away from products that depend on governmental approval. For example pollution control innovations that need to meet regulatory approval even if the approval is forthcoming. It may be unpredictable and take too long.
