Your offerings: Finding the Rational(s) § Define the ‘problem’
! e.g. I want to open a new coffee shop in Uttara but don’t know what kind of Coffee Shop might be successful - Is Coffee the problem, or ‘shop’ the problem? - Is customer the problem, the price the problem?
§ Define the ‘Gap’ ! What is your customer ‘missing’?
- The case of GP à the NY Investment Banker trying to call mom at his home in Narail
! What is your competition missing? § Sometimes, the entrepreneurial passion just works!
! Don’t hit. Fall in love! ! Follow your guts

§ The Box32 Solution! ! 4 columns of Parameters or ‘Aspects’ ! 8 rows for up to 8 possible ‘variables’ ! If you feel compelled, you can increase the number of
columns or boxes, but are you losing your focus?
§ Choose the best ‘combination’ you intend to go for! ! You can do a research – no substitute for a small customer
survey, or ! You yourself can be the ‘customer’ (the challenge is – don’t
mix your choices with the general customer choices!)
