Your next entrepreneurial project could just be a weekend away, but that is assuming you have a validated idea and if you are prepared mentally, physically, and if you can marshal enough resources to make it happen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Seth Godin, in his recent book, What To Do When it\u2019s Your Turn? (And It\u2019s Always Your Turn), <\/em>asks a singular question that defines all the drama behind your next startup idea:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen was the last time that you did something for the first time?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Startups are all about the excitement \u2013 before and after launching \u2013 on a thin, vague idea that seems to hang by the thread of your own imagination. The birth of your startup, however, is all about how you wring that idea out of its comfort zone and create something out of nothing.<\/p>\n

If you are all ready to go and bursting with excitement, here are a few broad startup idea triggers that could lead you to think about the next best startup idea:<\/p>\n

Note: No matter what idea you choose and irrespective of the business you launch, a few things will never go off the hook. Business networking, growing your social networking channels<\/a>, getting the word out, blogging, and email marketing \u2013 all that work remains as it is. Also, we assume that you\u2019d validate your business idea before launching. <\/em><\/p>\n

Apply what You Know to Untapped Industries <\/strong><\/h3>\n

The reason why I am writing this post based on idea clusters or idea triggers for startup businesses is to try not to wrap your thinking into lists. If I were to write up 191 new startup ideas, you\u2019d tend to not think about the 192nd<\/sup> one. I don\u2019t want you to sit there and think about lists.<\/p>\n

A good source of ideas for your startup could be to take what you are familiar with and apply that to industries and sectors which don\u2019t use what you know as much. For instance, you already know CRM systems, Billing tools, and more. Now, apply that to transport, logistics, finance, and even education.<\/p>\n

As marshal enough resources to make it happen<\/a>, the right thing to do is to create something you\u2019d use yourself or one that you found a need for. Or maybe generate ideas on how you can solve problems that most industries didn\u2019t think of it yet.
\nWhen you take that route, you\u2019ll probably come up with:<\/p>\n
