Idea Development - Purpose
Idea creation and Technology Resources
"It is well documented that the best way to have ideas
is first of all immerse yourself in a subject for longish periods
- like months or more - in which you study intensely,
and then step away and do something else -
go for a holiday, go out dancing, or something like that.
Very often ideas come in this sort of incubation period".
Francis Crick - Nobel prize winner in medicine.
Tell them what you're going to tell them. Tell them. Tell them what you told them. A simple formula. One that's often used by speakers and writers, and an example of what this resource aims to be about. Seeking out and sharing formulas, plans and resources to make it easier for you to bring out the best of your ideas, into practical, working, and profitable own businesses.
An often mentioned quote is that the only difference between a 'Success' and a 'Failure' is that the former has more ideas to pick from, than the latter. Too quick to discount ideas, or bad judgement in following a hopeless cause -
many of us continually follow hopeful dreams without any planning - ignoring available resources, effort or rewards.
Now it's time to STOP! The tools that we need are out there. Tools to help us create, discover, choose, and evaluate the best of our gems of acorns - and develop them into working and profitable projects.
The focus of this site is to share these tools with you, and create a readership of idea developing entrepreneurs - making the best of our best ideas.
Happy brainstorming,

Idea Development... Purpose.
"An object to be attained; a thing intended."
And that's something we often forget in the development of a project -
Why are we doing it? (OK, there is also a great argument for saying that some of the best things come out of the side turnings we take along the journey....but that's another article)
So what can we do to 'stay on track', to attain the objective.
Track our progress.
Do you know the history of the development of the 'Post it' by 3M? The glue formula for the Post-it was discovered 10 years prior to its final use. It had been discounted because it did not fulfil its original objective - they were looking for a strong glue. As the research was going on, this tacky, reusable glue came along, and was nearly consigned to oblivion. Ten years in storage, and another scientist found the formula and thought.... this has potential...'Post its' were born, and as they say, the rest was history.
Hey! I've just been harping on about staying on track, and then throw you an example of not staying on track - and reaping great rewards!
Just what's going on?
That's the problem.
Both ways are right, both are wrong...but only do one at a time!
Set the objective, plan the steps, evaluate, develop, test, test, and test.
If it fails the 'tests' test - now is the time to 'go back' and collect the side shoots that evolved.
If you don't at some point become single minded - nothing at all gets achieved, apart from lots of wishful ideas, dreams, and planning....
Get it?!
