Do You Always Need a Unique Business Idea?

[Nomad]

Many business coaches tell you that you need to have original and unique business idea. They warn against copying existing ideas, including products and business model. However, if you check the reality, in the business world, everyone is copying everyone. Businesses are stealing ideas, copying ideas. You might have seen how Samsung and Apple regularly engage in legal battles over intellectual property disputes.

You can copy an existing idea and make it unique. Uniqueness is what sells now but it must not be a unique business idea.

Not every business needs a unique idea. Even if you sell the same products or services, you can do it in different ways to differentiate from your competitors.

The truth of the matter is that there is no new business idea out there, every single business idea was copied from someone or somewhere, they simply made a few modifications.

My business is copied from the different mill tea businesses but the contents of every milk tea differ which no one can copy. That's the technique based from a unique plan.

I am yet to see a unique business idea in our time. It used to exist in times past but not now anymore.
