Questions to ask yourself to determine if your business is worth it

Questions to ask yourself to determine if your business is worth it

Questions to ask? You may be wondering what kind of problems these are?

When a person starts a business, yes, he aims to make money and make a profit, so the business grows and expands. But not every activity a business does or an Entrepreneur is involved in is meaningful. We remember that every money maker is worthless. uuhhmm that's amazing!!!

The other day I was reading a business book called "Re-Work" by Jason Fried and David H. Hansson. It's a great book about business but when I got to its 50th page, I fell on the questions an entrepreneur should ask if what they are doing is really worth it. After reading it, I immediately felt that I would share it with the Entrepreneurs, because in fact, the more you read and think about these questions, the more you will know that what you are doing is really important. Although this book is written for Entrepreneurs, the questions the authors focus on are relevant for everyone to make sure that what they do is worthwhile.

We remember that everything we do every day is meaningless.

The authors of this book say that other than the entrepreneur, someone else should ask themselves these questions before taking action.

The questions I want to share with you that I read in the book I mentioned above are:

"Why am I doing this?" Have you ever found yourself doing things but not knowing why you are doing them? Because you were told to do it or did you imitate others? It is common for many not to know why they do what they do. But if you try to ask yourself: "Why am I doing this?", "Is it in the interest of someone other than me?"... if you want to answer this question, you will know why you are doing what you are doing, and you will know more about your work/responsibilities and do it well.
"What problem are you dealing with?" What is the problem? What problem do your customers have? Do customers still have that problem? Is the problem you think your customers have really a problem with how they pay? Does that problem tell you it's a problem? Isn't that what you're thinking? If you answer the actual problem you are solving it will save you a lot of time that you might spend thinking that you are solving a problem that might not be the problem.
"Does it matter?" Not everything you do matters. Just because you do something because you like it doesn't necessarily mean it's worth it. If you are listening to radio or television, what does it matter? What happened? What happened to the others?
"Does it add value?" Making everything available is easy. But creating value-adds is difficult. If you're doing anything, whether it's a service or a product, it's hard to be the only one doing it. Do you ever wonder if what you do is worth more than others?
"Is there an easy way for Buhari?" Often when there is a problem or problems human nature thinks of complex solutions through many ways. But every problem has a simple way to find someone and it all comes from the mindset of solving problems or obstacles in a simple way. It's not just a challenge but any task that can be easily done without the need for a complicated process. Think about it and ask yourself how easily what you are doing can be done and be productive.

 

At the end of the page of the book, I said that the authors encourage entrepreneurs to keep asking these questions, but they don't do it as if they are one of them, but the one who asks it often, the brain gets used to it so that each one asks itself and it is as easy as drinking water.
