1. ALWAYS be Ready!
Writing it gives your mind freedom to explore it more and it doesn’t have to remember it. You can also use a voice recorder or anything where you can record it somewhere other than your brain.
2. Write Description
Write quick description so you can resume it from where you left it.
3. Do Something Else…
Allow your mind to form ideas is when you are doing something else so you can quickly dump it down.
4. Stay in Good Environment
Allow your mind breathe and relax and stay in pleasing environment. Most of time ideas come when you re running, talking in a nice weather, or in various different situations. Note down when you start getting ideas and in which condition and surroundings, that matters a lot!!!
5. Find Solutions to Problems!
Finding solutions to a specific problem gives you a lot of opportunies for a business idea as well because businesses exist for solving their customer’s issues and problems by giving them specific solutions for which their customers pay them, isn’t it?
So what are you doing now? Think about solutions for ANY problem and you will find plenty of SOLUTIONS → offer solutions (not just products or services) .. people want to BUY solutions to their PROBLEMS!
It is that simple!
6. Organize your thoughts
Once your ideas have stopped coming, organize them, then split each idea into step-by-step actionable steps for achieving the RESULT / OUTCOME by REVERSE ENGINEERING the DESIRE accomplishing that idea.
For example…
Let say I want to start public speaking online
Speak Online (is the outcome / result that I want)
Here are steps…
- Connect with Internet
- Turn on Camera or Mic (if audio only)
- Go Live
- Start Speaking
- Submit
deepending on the nature of social media platform where you want to speak, it will be similar with a few different steps and you are done for public speaking online, simple is that followed by some specific steps!
Here is another idea by example…
Let say I want to write an article
Here are the steps…
- Open Medium Website
- Click on Write
- Start writing about whatever topic or idea or issue I want to talk about or share a story, etc
- When you are done, start adding products or services or links or photos or videos relevant to the article and pump it up!
- Then submit it by putting a headline (or write a headline first if you are clear regarding WHAT YOU WANT TO WRITE ABOUT)
In any way the simplicity is in writing → Headline + Story or Headline + Article or Headline + Idea then Press SUBMIT!
Done!
7. Know when to stop
If something is not working even after you have tried hard, don’t force yourself. Maybe you can do it next time better way but not now. It could be due to lack of practice, lack of confidence, lack of knowledge or whatever so don’t worry.
Consider your idea like a QUEST of GAME where you ACCEPTED it (as in World of Warcraft) and now it is either Green / Yellow or Red depending on your level of character so you can perform required operations in order to accomplish your quest NOW or LATER! (by coming back)
Sounds simple and easier?
Now go start dumping and jumping in your life :)
