Main Reason for Business Failure
The number one reason why most businesses fail is that they don't solve a market need. Many entrepreneurs make the mistake of starting a business by copying someone else or being solely driven by a particular technology. However, to succeed, businesses should identify a specific market and understand the needs of that market. By exploring the current situation and desired outcomes of the target market, entrepreneurs can find a common, widespread problem that needs to be solved. Companies that address and solve market problems have a higher chance of success.
