Creating a Business Idea

Henry Ford once said,

“Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right!“

He was a man that knew about creating and using ideas.

What we want to get started today is a stream if ideas. The stream starts to flow and with a little pratice the stream grows into a river of ideas.  Specifically, we are looking for ideas that excite and inspire you. Most of us have a passion for something, a hobby we love, a sport or leisure activity we are especially knowledgeble of.

We want you to think of a topic; the thing that you enjoy the most.

If you are stuck for ideas, we are thinking of things like this:

• reading
• stamp collecting
• travel
• cycling
• cooking
• scrapbooking
• photography
• videogames
• bird breeding
• sci-fi
• guitar
• hiking
• religion
• fitness
• investing
• child raising
• fishing
• bingo
• supernatural
• vinyl recordings
• sailing
• programming
• dollmaking

This list could go on and on, but we want you to find a single that that you really like to do and have some knowledge of.  At this stage, desire outweighs knowledge. So, if you have a great desire to learn about something new, that can easily be your topic.

The objective for the this step is to generate a topic that is easy for you to talk or write about and make a list of 20 things about that topic.  Email that list to yourself and make a special “business” folder in your mailbox.

Recap: Determine your passion and make it your topic.  Come up with a list of 20 sub-topics about your main topic. Email this list to yourself.

Best wishes,
