Opportunity Screening
• The process of evaluation on
which market offers the greatest opportunity. In doing this, the entrepreneur should also consider his/her preferences, which is known as Personal Screening. Some questions to be considered in doing Personal Screening: Do I have the drive to pursue this business opportunity to the end? Will I spend all my time, effort, and money to make the business opportunity work? Will I sacrifice my existing lifestyle, endure emotional hardship, and forego my usual comforts to succeed in this business opportunity? 12 Rs of Opportunity Screening 1.
