Keep Moving Fourward Entrepreneurship Competition

Frank Carnevale, of Keep Moving Fourward, has an exciting announcement in this guest post for High School students intereseted in entrepreneurship. Take it away Frank...

Attention High School Students Nationwide...

The Keep Moving Fourward Entrepreneurship Competition is officially under way!

Have you ever thought about what you're going to do with your life after high school or after yougraduate college?

Have you ever thought about working for yourself, while doing something that you love? Even if you haven't, now is the perfect time for you to find out if being an entrepreneur is right for you!

The Competition has Two Main Goals?

1) To show high school students that they do not necessarily have to work for someone else for the rest of their lives... They do have another option: They can be an entrepreneur. In other words, they can be in business for themselves, doing something that they truly like (or hopefully, LOVE) doing.

2)To give the competition winner the tools necessary to successfully get their business idea off of the ground.

Where Should I Start?

"So what kind of business should I start though?" a student might ask. Well, what are some things that make you want to keep moving fourward? What are you passionate about? What subject or topic can keep you interested for hours on end? What kinds of things make you the happiest? Thinking this way plus constantly asking yourself good questions, will usually lead to an idea you can run with.

Other Questions to Get You In the Entrepreneurial Mindset

Here are some more questions one might ask themselves to get their entrepreneurial juices flowing:The point of all these questions is that one question will lead to another question, and another question,and another question. At the end of your series of questions lies some type of solution.

What is it about X that you love so much? Is there anything you could think of that would make you love X even more? If so, do you think it would do the same for other lovers of X?

What is the one thing that annoys you most about X? Why does it annoy you? Do you think it annoys others as well? What two things could you immediately do to make X less annoying? And so on...

Now for a dose of reality: Just because you're passionate about something, and have a good idea related to it to pursue, does not necessarily mean that it would make a worthwhile business.

You need to also ask yourself whether the idea has the potential to generate revenue. Can this improvement on X put some money in your pocket? Can you make money consistently from a business in X? How much money will it take to get X going?

Ready To Get Started?

Get the picture? Good, enough of these questions.
