Ever had a sudden exciting thought, you felt would change your life, perhaps improve your business, or make you rich?!
What did you do about it? Or did you think it was impossible and didn’t follow up on it?
Then you see someone else becoming rich through doing something small and silly, that sparked his or her road to success, which made you wish you had thought of something like that too! You kick yourself… if only…
Well now in future:
You can make your own dreams come true. Here is a little fact that will create the turning point in your life. It’s so small that most people miss it and overlook the fact.
Catch your WOW-moment
As soon as the idea pops into your mind… WRITE IT DOWN
I bet you don’t think that statement is profound, “Haw, ridiculous! What a silly thing to say and do!”
Well, I thought that too, at first.
Then I thought about it more carefully, and realized most of my successful blogs came from writing down ‘light-bulb’ thoughts as they came to me.
How it happens:
- If you allow that one inane thought of yours to run free, it gathers momentum. One thought fires onto another. It isn’t long before it creates greater profound concepts.
- Out of simple things, perhaps analyzing a word here and there, or something you saw, somehow makes a connection with you. Perhaps a connection to what you do or with a skill you have.
- While putting together the thoughts you have and writing them down quickly, in a concise manner because you are trying capture it quickly, you start to see trends and dynamic facts also forming, giving the concept more authenticity… a possibility of turning it into reality.
Then you ask yourself, “Can I really run with it? How can I run with it?”
Making it possible:
Don’t stop there. Let the concept take a life of its own. Spin it out and play with the concept. Experiment with the theories to see how it would work effectively.
Then make it, do it… and see how it is received by the public. If it’s something people really need, desire or crave, it will be a hit.
That is how inventors create new technology and how other people make businesses out of nothing!
How did I discover this simple fact?
I’ve been using this method for years. I listen carefully to what people are saying or what I `cook-up’ between the lines when I’m reading books.
You never know where the information will turn up. It’s important have a deeper awareness to what’s going on around you, and globally.
Learn to pick out profound statements that could be hidden within a broad topic… something that sticks out intensely and blow your mind into thinking into new profound concepts.
I thought if it has worked for me, perhaps there is something on the internet about it?
So I checked up on the topic:
…and found nothing! Except, religious statements about visions!
Someone else’s experience:
But a few days ago I heard a guy on television talking about how he started a successful business. Previously he had been providing a simple service that didn’t earn him a profitable living.
It only started taking off, he said, when he wrote down ideas he had. Then explained how those ideas grew into bigger plans, on how to improve his business!
