There are 1000s of attractive business ideas but the opportunities are very few. Why most business fail; not because the entrepreneur didn't work hard but there was no opportunity in the first place. Opportunity recognition is the first thing to start with

It needs a lot to define the “opportunity”!
There is example in Pakistan where a man started his business from making envelopes with honesty and ended up having a paper mill. Now He is a billionaire. I can send the specific details of the person, if asked for?
I think Honesty IS the opportunity, especially in Pakistan and more precisely in now a days!
Only and only greed plays the most part in bringing down any business. We want to make millions soon after we just start getting going and gain some confidence that we can do it.
Then quality the first thing which goes down then comes the quantity as well.
Here in gulf where I work, one man from Faisal Abad, took the contract from the states run oil company.
The contract was for 10,000 employees cover alls for 03 years!
He supplied first lot of vey good garments, next delivery coveralls start shrinking then size problem came. He was banned after 9 months from supplying coveralls. He is still proud that He has done a good business and earned good money! Think if He would have maintained the quality then a full contract of 3 years would have definitely elevated his reputations and money and He could have gone for other company’s tenders in the gulf, having strong credentials of the first business?
Yes in Pakistan the business people do the hard work but the hard work for cheating!
Now it is very easy to feel the difference between an “opportunity” and “Honesty”

Dear Friends.
Chaki Atta business sounds nice but I will elaborate a bit for the benifit of our friends.
"Atta Chaki" is a small wheat griding machine consisting of two flat stones. Wheat is fed from the top & upper stone is rotated with a small motor/desiel engine & grinds wheat into flour.
Attat Chaki is basically meant for the areas (Small cities/rural) where people buy, clean & keep their stock of wheat for the whole year in their houses. They take this stock in small quantities to Atta Chaki & get it grinded into flour as & when required. So a number of customers visit the Atta Chaki on daily basis.
The Atta Chaki Owner Does Not Keep Any Stock Of Wheat.
Residents of residential colonies in big cities eg DHA/Bahria neither have the facilities nor they will bother to keep stock of wheat because of their other priorities.
So if any body who wants to start a business of "Supplying Chaki Atta" in Residential Colonies/Hotels in Big Cities will have to have Storage Facilities for a reasonable stock of wheat keeping in view his targeted market.
Further some transport will be required for home delivery.
I am fully convinced that this will be a very successful business in the long run if someone can meet the requirements of the business.
May Allah (SWT) bless with success our friends who are planning to start this business.
Regards. |
