Finding your Business Purpose | BizFest 2024
Discovering your business purpose is more than just a tagline or slogan; it's the heart and soul of your enterprise. Your purpose provides a guiding light, inspiring your team, attracting customers, and ultimately driving your business's success.
How to Find the Purpose of Your Business
Reflect on Your Values: What deeply matters to you? What kind of impact do you want to make on the world?
Identify Your Passions: What are you truly passionate about? What excites you and drives you?
Understand Your Customers: What are their needs and pain points? How can your business solve their problems?
Define Your Unique Value Proposition: What sets your business apart from competitors? What unique value do you offer your customers?
Example of a Business Purpose
Consider Patagonia, the outdoor clothing company. Their purpose is to build the best product, cause no unnecessary harm, and use business to inspire, engage, and implement solutions to environmental crises. This clear purpose guides their business decisions and inspires their customers.
How to Find Your Business Idea along with your Business Purpose
Your business idea should align with your purpose and passion. Here are some ways to discover your business idea:
Identify your skills and expertise: What are you good at? What do you know a lot about?
Look for gaps in the market: Are there any unmet needs or opportunities in your industry?
Talk to customers: Understand their needs and pain points.
Brainstorm ideas: Generate a list of potential business ideas and explore their feasibility.
Defining Your Company's Purpose
Your company's purpose should be clear, concise, and inspiring. It should answer the question, "Why do we exist?" Here are some questions to consider when defining your purpose:
What is the impact you want to make on the world?
What are your core values and beliefs?
What are your long-term goals for your business?
