Brainstorm your business idea.
Sport * Gym * Sporting goods store
How will your business function?
My Sporting goods store, ‘Aussie Sports’, is going to be an Internet based business. My store will sell sporting goods, clothing and footwear all around Australia. I will rent a warehouse in Bayswater as it is an affordable area and is close to all amenities (post office, bank ect). My business is going to be much easier to run so I will not need staff I can work the agreed hours with my partner.
Describe how and why you came up with this idea for a business.
I came up with the idea for a sporting goods store by thinking about my skills and hobbies, I believe that I have great skills in the sporting goods area and I most definitely enjoy sport.
Why is your personality suited to this business?
My personality suites this business perfectly because I have extensive skills in the sporting goods industry and I thoroughly enjoy working in a sporting goods environment. My life has evolved around sport, so to own a store that sells sporting goods is perfect.
