Can’t find a unique business idea?
Then you should just give up. Because in this world, there is no such thing as a unique idea. The moment you managed to come out with what you thought to be a brilliant and unique idea, some other 30 or 40 people have already done it before you.
Let’s just face the fact. One can no longer come out with something entirely unique these days. If you are the type of person who is thinking of making that one big hit with that single unique and brilliant idea…then sorry to say, you might have to wait for a long long time before you actually start something (maybe, it’s going to take you forever like what happened to some people who waited all their life for that one big break-through idea).
Having said so, I do realize that there are still a lot of people who are trying to find excuses for themselves (and their friends) for not starting out. They always say that the ideas they have are not unique, or “someone has already done it”. So they will just continue to search…and search.
Now, before people continue to search (and wait) for that one big and unique idea..maybe people should just start on whatever ideas they have even if the ideas are not unique. Because at the end of the day, it is the execution and the implementation of the idea which matter, not just the idea itself.
Therefore, the question people should ask is not “How can I come out with a unique idea which nobody has done it before?” but “How can I execute or implement this idea better than the person who has already implemented it?”
p/s……..actually this post was written nearly 2 months ago. and it might be a bit different from my regular motivational posts. I just realized I’m running out of posts this morning. LOL. Hope you guys don’t mind.

Places like Digital Mall and Low Yat Plaza will put to rest the myth that a business must be unique to survive. Over there, every shop and kiosk sells the same products at the same price. Even the attitudes of the sales assistants are the same. No discount, take it or leave it. The reason they survive IMO is that the demand is high enough to support many points of supply. Its for the same reason why one row of shophouses can support many coffee shops and banks.
I wrote before that one need not be a genius to make a profit. If you can’t think of anything unique, no problem. Just find a spot where demand exceeds supply and then sell what the guy next door sells.

Hmm, this reminds me of a place in Klang where a very famous steamboat restaurant is located. What happened was….it’s so famous that it spawned a whole row of clones. LOL.
And the funny thing is..all of them hv pretty good business. :p
So sometimes, running a business is just like art……copying can also make you successful. You might not become the next big hit, but if the demand is there, it is still pretty profitable.
