I think it will be of major assistance for young entrepreneurs to have your suggestions on how to get an idea moving forward. Over the past month, I have been looking for ways to bring attention to <a title="Global Entrepreneurship Week" href="http://www.squidoo.com/GlobalEntrepreneurshipWeek" rel="nofollow">Global Entrepreneurship Week</a>, which is an effort to promote entrepreneurship as a career for young people in more than 60 countries around the world. I have been collecting the best of posts on entrepreneurship that I can find and consolidating them through links on a web directory. I am adding your post to that directory. I hope this event will bring a focus that will create millions more young people who take on the challenge of changing the world. I hope that this blog will be a source of encouragement to such people..

I especially like the parts about using a business plan (I prefer a one pager) and getting started <em>now</em>. I do think you have a few things backwards. Your first step is to start with your customer. Identify a niche you where you have experience and passion. Find out their needs. This is where your build your product and service. This is what drives your USP. Use the SWOT to help fine tune your USP and your market strategy, but don't use it to define your business. Good post.
