“Remember ideas never arrive on your own choice of time, day or place it’s something we get spiritually”

·      70% of those ideas we forget,

·      20% we remember but we feel they are not realistic or doable.

·      Remaining 10% we feel they are worthy to be tried, however we still feel we are short on resources e.g., team, mentor, money, time, and platform to execute them.

On the contrary, on last 5% of 100% ideas we are always confident that we can turn them into reality since we have all resources to execute them, BUT we somehow still don’t give it a try, or I must say we are failed to work on them due to our own laziness.

 The question then arises why we miss them?

Well in my opinion – We won’t if we….

·      Immediately write or record them

·      Prioritize them over our daily tasks

·      Discuss them with the likeminded people or with those who motivate us

·      Give proper time to brainstorm

·      Revisit those ideas again and again

Consequently, I call it killing pills for our revolutionary ideas.

Best Places, time, or venues for ideas:

Let me try to explain how the innovators manage to bring those ideas into reality:

Trust me, more than 99% of those ideas can turn into reality, and once done you will feel so good that at least you have given a try and eventually you have no regrets missing those great ideas in your life.

As first thing first try to find what are those days, times, venues these ideas gets into your mind? well, this can be any place or a day or time; may be while you are running on a track, you are in toilet brushing your teeth’s, driving a car or even sleeping and dreaming!

“I have personally experienced these ideas comes to your mind when you are already occupied in some repeated activities you don’t like”

How to catch or save these precious ideas?

Whenever you get these ideas, always try to write them immediately but as bullet point not as story, spending time with one idea at one time worth.

Now you need, stress-free mind and a quite place to do some brainstorming on that idea, do some research on your ideas, start googling, find 360 verticals of that idea, try to find if there is already a similar idea running around, or in the middle of development or still in talks – just gather these facts and try to compare it with your idea to evaluate if this can really bring some positive and attractive change, e.g. what’s the difference, what is similar and what is still missing in it!

“A half-wrong idea is also half-right.” –Gilbert, Pelham & Krull

Now write the problem definition, write the solution your idea can bring as change, discuss it with other people, find people who are ready to work along with you as a team, do some commercial research along with your team, do market validation, meet the buyers / customer / end users of your idea get their feedback on what you are thinking and what is missing and why they would use or like your idea, read my previous article Networking is the most powerful tool for “Startups and Entrepreneurs” it will also help you to know more about sharing your ideas and the power of networking.

So, for now let’s try to practice what I have shared above and in my next article I will discuss and share over “Forming–storming–norming & performing your Idea”

 Conclusion:

Such progression requires continues efforts to turn your ideas into reality while processing them through scientifically proven processes as I have mentioned above, don’t forget to continue training your self improvement how ?

Let’s give it a try because today’s opportunities would turn into tomorrow realities.
