Introductory Message

Welcome to TLE 9 - IA (Masonry NC II)!

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Kabankalan City and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western
Visayas through the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is
developed to guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents, and responsible
adults) in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic
Education Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is a self-directed instructional material aimed

to guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using
the contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.

For learning facilitator:

The TLE 9 - IA (Masonry NC II) Activity Sheet will help you facilitate the
teaching-learning activities specified in each Most Essential Learning Competency
(MELC) with minimal or no face-to-face encounter between you and the learner.
This will be made available to the learners with the references/links to ease the
independent learning.

For the learner:

The TLE 9 - IA (Masonry NC II) Activity Sheet is developed to help you

continue learning even if you are not in school. This learning material provides you
with meaningful and engaging activities for independent learning. Being an active
learner, carefully read and understand the instructions then perform the activities
and answer the assessments. This will be returned to your facilitator on the agreed
schedule.

Generate Business Ideas Using Product Innovation from
Irritants, Trends and Emerging Needs

I. Learning Competency with Code

Generate business ideas using product innovation from irritants, trends and
emerging needs. (TLE_EM9-12III0-IV0-3).

II. Background Information for Learners

The business idea creates a reason to invest and it also creates sales and
profit. With sales and profits come the scope to invest in more products and services,
enabling the business to grow. It is the pure essence of capitalism. All that said, if
you have a bad idea, you are more likely to face competition.
At the heart of every business is a product or service. This is the lever to
persuade others to give you money in exchange for them. It is easy to say that behind
every product or service ever sold was an idea.
Now, some ideas are better than others and I will get to that shortly. But, the
essence of the idea drives everything forward. The business idea creates a reason to
invest and it also creates sales and profit.
With sales and profits come the scope to invest in more products and services,
enabling the business to grow. It is the pure essence of capitalism.
All that said, if you have a bad idea, you are more likely to face competition. In
turn, this will lead to reduced sales and profits, meaning the business are less likely to
grow and may struggle to survive.

Great Ways to Generate Business Ideas

Great business ideas are all around you. Just open yourself to the
possibilities, and you're bound to find a winner. To start your search for that drop-
dead idea that's going to set the world on fire, start with the following sources.

1. It all starts with a vision.

3
 All successful entrepreneurs all started somewhere – may it be from scratch,
etc. Create an inventory of your hobbies, things that spark your interest and what
not. What are the business opportunities you could generate out of something you
love or passionate about? After all, it won’t feel like work if you’re doing something
you love. Follow your guts. Embrace your ideas. You have it in you, you’re a creative
supernova.

2. Think outside the box.

The good ole ‘’think outside the box’’ strategy, of course. Step outside that
bubble zone you confide yourself in and start exploring. If you feel like you’re stuck
on the same page of the book and just having a repetitive idea cycle – then you need
something new and fresh to give you inspiration. Explore different mechanisms or
entrepreneurial resources to help you find a new learning or work style.

3. Go and be online.
There’s no denying that we live in a world where digital age has taken control
– and where everything can be accessed online – from the secret krabby patty
recipe to tips to a perfect pitch deck.
Use this to your full advantage and don’t waste your time looking at cute
panda videos online – I mean, they’re adorable but you have to divert your attention
and focus on your business. Search for entrepreneurship, business and industry
related communities. Use social media channels and search for relevant posts, tags,
etc. Become a student of your industry and the business world, before you take over.

4. Do a market research.
This is somehow similar to number 3. But apart from the usual search for
posts, ideas and tips – do your investigation. Research the market to see what’s out
there and where your business ideas could fit in with that equation. It is always good
to be aware of the market you’re planning to enter.

5. See the world for yourself.

Oftentimes, researching is not enough. Thus, travelling and seeing the world
for yourself and up-close may help. The world is massive. And there’s a whole big
world out there of great ideas that aren’t yet in your market. Travelling can inspire
you and give you a new set of ideas that you can take back home and give it a new
whirl that can possibly be helpful to cater or address the necessities of your market
or community. There’s also places across the world that have ideas waiting to be
launched. Perhaps, you could use that existing idea and commercialize it to the
market.

6. Socialize.

4
 One could never go wrong when it comes to meeting new people. Go to
networking and learning events, business conferences, etc – not only will it help your
creative idea process but it will also help widen your networking channels and build
relationships. Who knows you might stumble upon an investor — or someone that
could help you make an impact to the business world. You’ll never know.
Remember, you’re a creative supernova.
