The Only Good Idea Is….

G’ Day Marketers,

I posted this on the warrior forum….

G’ Day Warriors,

I am currently mentoring 5 students and we have just completed one of the first steps with them… ‘BRAINSTORMING’.

I have to be honest with you. Some of the ideas are SO fantastic that I am jealous and wish I thought of them. They have so much potential!

I haven’t done a personal brainstorm for 3 months or so now as I want to complete one project at a time and not get distracted with all my good ideas (that was one thing I got stuck on at the start).

But just curious how many good ideas do you get in a day?

Sincerely,

Paul Kleinmeulman

Sometimes I get several new product/website ideas a day - but I don’t call any idea ‘good’ until I’ve put it into action. Only after the idea has proven itself by turning into profit through my effort would I dare qualify it as ‘good’.

I used to think I was a real smart guy, because I came up with ‘good’ ideas all the time. But then I started wondering why, if I was so damn clever, I wasn’t making any money. Once I stopped believing ‘ideas’ were the important thing - and realized even the good ones were a dime a dozen and start quailifying and judging my efforts and results instead, things went in a whole new (i.e. profitable) direction.
