    V. Learning Activities

    An ideal entrepreneur desires to establish business that will be able to produce


    simple products. Starting your own business entails serious hard work. It involves,
    among others, such as activities as research, planning, testing, developing,
    marketing, and the like.

    Hints to help one decide what type of business to get into:

    ➢ Start with a hobby or interest.


    ➢ Produce something that you can offer or sell to your friends and school
    mates.
    ➢ Products that are always in demand are food items.
    ➢ Start small before you think of producing bigger quantities.
    ➢ Do some research and investigation.
    ➢ Observe people and their food preferences.
    ➢ Check existing products in the local market.

    10 Steps to Creating your First Product

    Let’s face it – your first product will most likely fail. Creating a successful
    product or service is about constantly prototyping, tweaking, refining, making
    mistakes, learning, and repeating. That might sound like a chaotic mess, but
    there’s a process behind it – one that can be applied not only to your first product,
    but to your first startup, website, or small business.

    Eran Weinberg, founder and CEO of the personalized health and wellness
    platform Liv360, has spent his career learning, practicing, and now teaching that
    process. Drawing from his experience as a serial designer, inventor and
    entrepreneur, Eran compiled these “10 Steps to Creating your First Product.”

    1. Know yourself: The life of an entrepreneur isn’t for everybody. It’s


    filled with failure, uncertainty, and sleepless nights. But, occasionally,
    there are those tiny thrills only an entrepreneur can know– a new
    insight, an “aha moment,” a baby step toward your goal. If you think
    you’re ready to commit your life to your product and handle the ups and
    downs—then read on…

    2. Fill the gap: Maybe you have an idea in mind already, maybe you don’t.
    Either way, identify the gap you’re filling. It could be a physical or
    emotional gap that the market needs. For example, a better designed
    walking cane fills a physical gap by improving a person’s immobility.
    Fun, toy-shaped speakers filled an emotional gap, creating satisfaction
    of happiness. In order to understand what product to make you have
    to understand consumer behavior and where the gaps lie.

    3. Research: What’s already out there? This is a very important step in


    order to determine if and how you should develop your product. Identify
    your competition by reviewing features, price, competitor size,
    distribution and design. If you find a product that is similar, maybe there
    is a gap in the market that could position it in a new way. Some people
    decide to take more risk by creating something brand new, while others
    prefer the safer route of following another inventor’s footsteps. Revisit
    step one—know yourself. Decide what level of risk you’re willing to
    take.

    4. Define the requirements: What are the minimum requirements to fill


    your gap? When you are first starting out, don’t add a bunch of
    “features” to your product that you think will dazzle your customers. By
    creating the minimum requirements, you will learn what your customer
    truly wants.

    5. Design multiple versions: Sketch up as many design versions of your


    initial concept as you can imagine. Here’s where you put your creative
    cap on. Think wild and big and impossible, and you will come up with
    solutions that are unique and innovative. Your sketches can be rough,
    unfinished, or ugly –anything but perfect.

    6. Pick your top contenders: Pick 1-3 of the concepts you like the best
    and decide which features you like about each. Compile those ideas
    together, creating different mockups and versions. Continue refining
    until you’re ready for the next step.

    7. Prototype: Create your first 3d printed prototype or even hand-made


    prototype. If you are creating a website or app, use a wire framing tool.
    There are plenty of inexpensive ways to make prototypes these days
    including buying a cheap 3D printer, carving foam and wood, as well as
    web tools such as Mockflow or Adobe Illustrator.

    8. User testing: Get your potential customers to test and give you
    feedback on your prototype. You don’t have to have a fancy working
    prototype. The most important is to see how they interact with and
    understand your product.

    9. Refine your design: Once you understand what products and features
    are working and not, begin improving the function and aesthetic. Here’s
    where you bring in the beauty.

    10. Bring it to life: Once you have validated your product fills the gap and
    finalized the product it’s time to build! Start small, start simple. Order
    the minimum units you can get, or build the simple version. This is your
    first exposure to real market insights and there are still many lessons to
    learn.

    Rinse, wash, and repeat. Remember, this is an evolving process. You’re


    constantly building, prototyping, and refining. Regardless of the success or failure
    of your first go-around, take the knowledge you’ve discovered and start all over.
    Each time you will be moving closer to that success.

    Why You Should Build Simple Products

    ➢ People have an easier time knowing if they’re in your target market or not.

    ➢ You can grow the products by listening to customers, rather than prospects.

    ➢ You can get your product out the door faster – which often means cheaper.

    ➢ You can start collecting feedback faster – which helps you adjust your
    product.

    These four reasons aren’t just opinion. They’re facts. Smaller products take
    less time, cost less, allow you to launch faster, and enable you to collect the right
    kind of feedback, from the right folks, faster.

    There’s really no reason not to build simple products and grow them from there.
    And if you’re smart, and your product grows and its market clamors for more
    and more features – then you can do and create an easy infrastructure to allow
    others to create add-on extensions to a base product.
