Brainstorming
- Part 5
Now are
you starting
to see why I said in phase #1, “there are no bad
ideas?”
Remember,
all ideas
are good when we’re brainstorming - even the wild, zany, and
kooky ones.
Because
they add to the creative mood. This in turn gives birth to the cutting
edge niche ideas we all profit from.
Now lets take the do-able ideas from this phase and add them to the
next phase of the brainstorming process. The real fun is about to
begin. If you’re ready lets go.
III. The Action Phase.
Now that you’ve gone through the no bad ideas phase, the
evaluation phase, and chose the most do-able idea(s). You are now ready for the next phase.
This phase is what I call the action phase.
The action phase is where you actually put your idea(s) on the test
track, so-to-speak. But before you do, a few preliminary steps must be
done.
We can compare the action phase to flying an airplane and
you’re the pilot. Before the flight starts every pilot goes
through a series of checks.
So, before you put your ideas into action,
you too should go through a series of preliminary checks.
There are 5 preliminary checks to consider before starting the action
phase, they
are ...
1. Do you have the finances?
2. Do you have enough qualified people?
3. Do you have the proper equipment or supplies?
4. Do you have the proper knowledge, skills or experience? Or can you
hire it?
5. Do you have the time to properly do it?
Now let’s go over the 5 preliminary checks in more detail.
Starting with …
1. Do I Have The Finances?
“Don’t begin until you count the cost.”
- Luke 14:28 (LVB)
The above statement was written over 2,000 year
ago, and it’s just as true today. Make sure you
have enough money budgeted to test your new idea. If not, wait until
you do.
After you evaluate the cost to test your idea, and find it’s
over your budget. Perhaps this shouldn’t be in your top
priority category.
Maybe you should move it to your future
consideration category. Then go back to your list and choose the next
idea that’s more do-able, even if it’s smaller than
you wanted it to be.
There’s nothing wrong with starting small. If you follow the
ideas in this book you won’t be small for long.
2. Do You Have Enough Qualified People?
Our next consideration should be do you have enough qualified people to
carry out your niche idea? If you think you may not have enough people
to test your idea, can you get more if needed?
If you find you don’t have enough people to carry out your
idea, move it back to the future considerations category. You should
then choose another idea that can be done with the amount of people you
have now. Next
