“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I
I took one less travelled by
And that has made all the difference.”
– Robert Frost, The Road Not Taken.
The curious human being would not always accept the same life style. But, naturally find thrilling and fascinating things out for a bit more interesting life. Even though nowadays people are receiving various services within minutes, hours or days, they investigate for better one. Which means, still changes and innovations are essential. Hence, traversing for new doors and ways may make all the difference.
A majority of innovations, including inferior and one caused bombastic changes in the world, taken place because of problem solving. Accordingly, before innovation, what is the problem here to be solved? Presently, we have numerous services available out there. But, when we come to think the exact availability of services, that is not soothing enough. For instance: In a town, restaurant, fancy shop, general stores, specialised stores are available but, concerning an old person, a person doesn’t have information about these shops, deceased one or even a lazy person, he or she can’t access necessary items at the right time. If a person could receive satisfying services or if there exists this system, people will accept and make it succeeded.
The soul purpose of business is not only buying and selling of goods and services but also satisfying consumers. What is the solution out there. One of possible views is, it would be great if there is an integrated system by encompassing all services from restaurants to religious institutions. More specifically, with the help of an application, people can purchase any item from their local stores to huge business enterprises in the country and it would be delivered directly to consumers within hours or days. If the idea implemented successfully, any person from Tamilnadu, for instance, can purchase any item from New Delhi without wasting much time, energy and money !
Why is This Relevant?
As a consequence of Covid-19, people became well-informed about online jobs and realized or experienced the fruitfulness of it. Moreover, as a support to this interest, huge companies like Microsoft, Google, Uber, Airbnb encouraged their employees working from home. People believe that working from home is more peaceful than from a company. Because, they don’t need to waste time and energy for exhausting travel to office and back home. Sitting in their home office freely and working in their laptops, provide them more satisfaction and time to communicate with family and society and to create a health and a strong relationship. This spirit is still existing in their mind and some people proudly use online services to all the fields of life, as much as possible. Therefore, a quick implementation of this idea adds some flavour to the business.
How Is It Possible?
- “Alone we can do so little ;
Together we can do so much.”
– Helen Keller.
Simultaneous to every business start ups, it should be approached in an experimental view. The primary step, after an effective planning, is collecting information from various shops. After this difficult and enjoyable task, a simple and impressive application can be made which is suitable to aged and young people alike. A user of application can search the product and discover as it available in the nearest store. Information updating department would update available products and amount in daily basis or hours. Delivery department would deliver the ordered products at the time and make payment. If this business operates excellently, people could receive countless jobs and can save wealth, time and energy and above all, can experience a freed-life.
It is necessary to grab user’s attention and interest in the very first use. Beginning of successful companies were almost struggling and bright. When they get into the track, hardworking was the driving force. Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia, hadn’t enough money to pay apartment rent. As a fortune, a design conference announced in San Fransisco and hotels were completely booked. The two clever guys came up with a great idea: to rent their three air beds in living room and to prepare breakfast to the guests for worth dollars 80. And with the motivation from a small success, Airbnb became incredibly amazing achievement. Mikael who is the founder of Angry Birds, a gaming application, became well-known only after 51 failures. Travis Kalanick, founder of Uber, couldn’t get a taxi in Paris to get to a conference. He came to think of a big taxi service that provide services within one click. When a journalist raised a question, how many hours do you usually spend on work?, Mark Zuckerberg answered: “It based on what count as work. I spend most of my time on thinking of how to connect world and serving world”. From these facts, it is crystal-clear that foundation stone and hard-working as the essence of business success.
Every victory is the rewards of hardwork and failure. Nothing in the world is possible with a mere dream. Just like sitting on sofa, thinking of drinking a glass water, without going to kitchen.Therefore, changes should always be acceptable and appreciated. Because, the less travelled roads can provide great memories and lessons to life.
