Business Ideas for Students Worksheet
Business tip (Problem first, idea second): A problem is something that bothers people; a solution idea is a product or service that fixes it. Look around every day: home, school, your colony, the bus stop. Small daily problems are great starting points. Match the idea to the problem exactly — a kite stall does not fix lost water bottles.
