Most businesses don’t fail because of poor execution — they fail because the idea was never properly tested.
In Finding the Right Business Idea, entrepreneur and OD practitioner Douw Steyn walks you through the most misunderstood stage of entrepreneurship: the beginning.
This book does not promise shortcuts, passive income, or guaranteed success. Instead, it teaches you how to think clearly, test realistically, and move forward with confidence grounded in evidence.
What you’ll learn:
-
Why most business ideas fail before they start
-
How to identify real, painful, and recurring problems
-
How to test ideas without losing money
-
How to filter and score ideas objectively

Aspiring entrepreneurs unsure where to start
-
Side-hustlers are stuck between multiple ideas
-
South Africans wanting realistic, localised guidance
-
Anyone tired of hype and ready for grounded thinking
