First you look for a niche in the market that needs to be addressed or you note a shortage of demand. If you are not addressing these keep your money in your pocket. Business opportunities come from hobbies expanded, new technology (e.g. become the Blue Ray expert), niche markets e.g. something a cultural group wants or needs, changes in law create opportunities for experts to emerge, changes in demographics e,g, more children in the area. Look around. Ask people around you. How to start will depend on the idea - some businesses start part time until they get enough customers to move on - some start as web based businesses and others just have to bite the bullet and go bigtime.

I cant say if it would work in your town, you need to do marketing research to see what would succeed in your town. Also in business .. Location, Location, Location is VERY important to success .. not only do you need the right business, you need the right location .. Passion, YES .. you do have to work long hours but passion because you believe in what you are doing.

Q. Discuss the ethical climate at a business that you are familiar with or one that you have researched. How have ethics affected this business? What does this business do to enforce ethical principles? What things could they do better? How can we as individual employees influence the application of ethics are our businesses? Give your thoughts and ideas on this subject. Asked by Trying!! - Sun Jan 27 18:42:34 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. business ethics are important but are difficult to enforce. I am a member of a professional organization with a defined ethics policy in it's bylaws. there are complaints of ethics violations against 3 members but no one wants to sit on an ethics committee for fear of incurring personal liability.
