How to Come Up With Killer Business Ideas

By Peter J Beattie

A lot of people find it it difficult coming up with ideas for the type of business they want to start. They know inside themselves that they want to start a business for the freedom, money and self satisfaction but they don’t have a clue what they want to do. I want to share with you a technique that has worked great for me. So great that I now have “too many” ideas. I just cant act on them all! My life isn’t long enough and there isnt enough hours in a day. But, I know what its like to be lost with nothing but a desire to be your own boss.

Here is what I did to generate ideas and what I recommend you do:

1.) First, think about “why” you want to start a business. Really..why? Think at least 15 mins about this and it will come. It may be just money, it may just be freedom..or both. Whatever it is just figure it out.

2.) Next, figure out what motivates you. There has to be something that you think about to keep you going and determined. For me its cars and motorcycles. I’m really into these things. Whenever I need to get motivated I go to YouTube and do a search for some guy taking delivery of his new Porsche..or something like that. I study people who I want to be like and imagine my life being better than theirs in the future. That keeps me going.

You may be into other things… plants, horses, great outdoors, skydiving, eating potato chips (jk). Whatever it is, use that to keep you motivated and to get your subconscious mind working on “how” you are going to get these things. Your subconscious mind will show you the way.

3.) Now you will want to get yourself a daily planner. One that goes all year long and leaves you enough room to write about 6 lines per day. You will need to take this planner with you wherever you go. If you’re at work on the computer, keep it to your side all day. Take it to Subway with you. You will need to start recording the tiniest ideas that pop into your head that relate to business ideas.

You may get a very small thought that last 1/1000 of a second and you may think its too small to matter, but it’s not. It does matter. That micro thought will lead to bigger and stronger thoughts over time. This may take a few weeks to come to you but IT WILL. And when it does, you better be ready with that planner because you will have so many ideas that you wont know what to do with them.

4.) The next obstacle you’ll run into is deciding on a chosen few ideas and ACTING on them. Its one thing to talk or dream about owning that nice house one day, but successful people DO something about it. Don’t be a talker and don’t be a dreamer. Be a doer. Get things done. Anyone can talk, not everyone can act. Otherwise, the world would be filled with satisfied successful people.

Well there are 4 easy steps you can take to generate some ideas. Its IMPOSSIBLE not to get ideas if you do this.
