Big companies like Apple, successful supersites like Facebook, high-volume books like The working week of 4 hours,… They all have one thing in common: they start with an idea.
The question is: could you get to get an idea that will generate a substantial profit or will it significantly improve your business?
The answer is yes. However, you already know that inspiration has to catch you working.
"You don't have to have a 100-person company to develop and execute a good idea." Larry Page (Google).
In this article we will see how to get good ideas in an easier way:
1) Your brain can keep working in the business without being present in it: the best ideas for my blog have occurred to me while walking.
2) Sometimes to develop an idea you have to spending a lot of time on parallel tasks which apparently have nothing to do with the idea in question but which are essential for its proper development: reading books by people who have succeeded in your sector, interacting with people in the same niche, researching businesses similar to yours on the internet, … There may be a thousand ways to contribute to the filing of an idea.
3) Devote your full attention when you are at work: your mind has to focus your attention on your business. You have to get into flow. This should come naturally.
4) Think big: This is the great motto of Donald Trump. Visualize your business as if it were number 1 in its sector. It will help you open the doors to great ideas.
5) That money is not an excuse: money puts us barriers but surely there are ways to overcome them. Keep thinking.
6) Look for collaborators: two minds generally think more than one. Surround yourself with valid, effective and, above all, positive people.
7) Look for the number 1 in your sector And look at how it does it: how it differs from the rest, you could improve it within your means. Obviously you will have to start little by little but it will help you to have it as a reference.
8) Think about how you can add more value to your customers: people always seek to satisfy something. Find the need for those people and satisfy them in the best possible way.
9) Don't complicate your life too much. Simplify things so they flow better. Focus on an idea and move forward little by little.
10) We all have a special talent for something. Exploit your talents within your business. Maybe you are good at dealing with others. Exploit this facet. Use your social gifts to achieve what you set out to do.
Very good post. I liked both the image and the content. I congratulate you.
