new business opportunities

What is the best way to seek business opportunities?

I am 20 and want to gain experience in managing / owning my own business. I go to business school, but I feel I need more knowledge. What is the best way to get hands on experience?

you will not like much of my answer, but it's because you went to a school not teach you how to think, just tell people what they want to hear. I have started several businesses, all of which have been successful because it had to be, or I'd starve. The first was the brute force and ignorance of traction. i increase and the streets down and get something out of place that were to be eliminated. I guess my expenses, add a few bux for profit, then knock on the door. oportunitism pure. The next was a company of paint. I knew what the fare was for painting, and charged with 1 / 2, and still make money because I worked hard. compete on price. the last was a national company to charge the same price as my competitor, but I discovered how to make work more efficient so that "build a better mouse trap." These are the 3 most common stategies for winning business, or business books say, my competitive edge. do not open their doors on Main Street and look forward to the public flock to your business. you have to give people a reason to come to your business instead of going to the place where they usually go. I gave 3 examples of why to do business with me rather than my competitor. Other reasons are unable to obtain the product / service anywhere else / properly. its quality is better. This is only a good strategy market in an exclusive hotel. in a small town, that rarely works. to solve a problem for someone. personal shopper is an example of this. you have a service or product that nobody has seen before saves time and money. someone makes money. a. investment bank or something that have always made money is arriving on time, and do what I said that the price I quoted, though I lost money. A deal is a deal. when choosing an area you want to go to, getting a job in the industry, working your way to reach care manager to learn what you need to know to be successful. DO NOT go into a company without experience in the field! I did and attention to learn the hard way. If you have a store front that is the easiest way to go bankrupt. next part, hope to work more than I ever thought possible. I worked 16 hours a day for years, 7 days a week. the first couple of years the business you run, not running the company. do not expect instant success. DO NOT EXPECT FOR LONG too. Achieving and maintaining reservations. companies rise and fall, and stocks will keep going when others fail. Finally, contract people smarter than you, and listen very carefully to their advice, then decide what is right, not what is wrong with him. only then decide what parties to incorporate your business. Be a leader worth. treat workers and customers with every bit of courtesy can, especially when it's more difficult to do. good luck
