Once you have an idea, the immediate strategy is to think about its reach and potential. This is one of the biggest differences between a small business approach vs startup. In a small business approach, you can immediate start with the problem/solution without having to think too much about scalability and expansion. These occur organically.

All entrepreneurs start with a great dream - to create the unicorns of the world. To be honest, a startup is probably simpler than that. The root of a startup is in customer problem. It might start with frustration, delight in an experience or finding a more efficient way to do things. Most of these ideas may not be the biggest brand in the world. But they have a humble start from having to solve a problem for a customer.
