Small Business Matters: It’s an Original Idea, but is it a Business?

Your product or service is truly unique—it’s never been done before. For example, a nail salon for men. Or, a crowdfunding platform for nonprofits. Are these examples of disruptive innovation—or dumb ideas? Have you really identified an unmet need? Or will you find out the hard way that no one has ever done what you’re doing because nobody will pay for it? Learn what it takes to bring a new concept to market—and get consumers and other stakeholders to embrace it—from entrepreneurs who have done it successfully.
