The Possibilities List and the Decision-Making
Matrix


 
As you learn more about your customers and what they want, you may find
yourself overwhelmed with ideas. What should you do when you have more
ideas  than  time  to  pursue  them?  Two  things:  First,  make  sure  you’re
capturing all the ideas and writing them down, since you might want them
later;  second,  find  a  way  to  evaluate  competing  ideas.  Creating  a
“possibilities  list”  helps  you  retain  ideas  for  when  you  have  more  time  to
implement them.
Most  of  the  time,  however,  having  an  idea  isn’t  a  problem  for
entrepreneurs.

  Once  you  begin  to  think  of  opportunities,  you’ll  probably
end up with no shortage of ideas written on napkins, scrawled in notebooks,
and floating around in your head. The problem is evaluating which projects
are worth pursuing, and then deciding between different ideas. Sometimes
you may know intuitively what the best move is. In those cases, you should
proceed  without  hesitation.  Other  times,  though,  you’ll  feel  conflicted.
What should you do?
The  decision-making  matrix  will  help  you  evaluate  a  range  of  projects
and  separate  the  winners  from  the  “maybe  laters.”  Putting  something  off
doesn’t mean you’ll never do it, but prioritization will help you get started
on what makes the most impact. First of all, keep in mind the most basic
questions of any successful microbusiness:
• Does the project produce an obvious product or service?
•  Do  you  know  people  who  will  want  to  buy  it?  (Or  do  you  know
where to find them?)
• Do you have a way to get paid?
 
 
Those questions form a simple baseline evaluation. If you don’t have a
clear  yes  on  one  of  them,  go  back  to  the  drawing  board.  Let’s  assume,
however, that you can answer yes to all of them but know you can’t pursue
five  big  projects  at  one  time.  In  that  case,  you’ll  need  some  method  of
evaluation. Here’s one option: the decision-making matrix.


 
In  this  matrix,  you’ll  list  your  ideas  in  the  left-hand  column  and  then
score  them  on  a  scale  of  1  to  5,  with  5  being  the  highest.  Granted,  the
scoring  will  be  subjective,  but  since  we’re  looking  for  trends,  it’s  OK  to
estimate. Score your ideas according to these criteria:
