Answer to Question 1

An opportunity is a favorable set of circumstances that creates a need for a new product, service, or business. An opportunity has four essential qualities. It is (1 ) attractive, (2 ) durable, (3 ) timely, and (4 ) is anchored in a product, service, or business that creates or adds value for its buyer or end user. In contrast, an idea is a thought, impression, or notion. It may or may not meet the criteria of an opportunity. This distinction between an idea and an opportunity is important because many entrepreneurial ventures fail not because the entrepreneurs that launched them didn't work hard, but rather because there was no real opportunity to begin with.
