I have noticed over the past couple of months that many people join here and ask. "I am really motivated but I don't have an idea."

"Can anyone give me an idea?"

Here is my answer to that question.

No.

Do you know why I and many people on this forum cannot give you an idea?

It is a very simple answer.

We do not know the situation (financial, physical, mental) that you are in. We can only give you ideas from our situation and from the problems that we encounter. Some of these problems can be sold on a local level only. Some of our ideas will be given from the field that we know about. Some will suggest Real Estate, others E-Commerce. You catch my drift?

If you were living in Arizona, and you ask me for an idea, while I am living in NJ where it is currently 37 degrees, I would probably suggest selling winter coats. Do you see the problem? Who is going to buy a winter coat in Arizona where it is a cool 70 degrees in February?

Ideas can be found in every aspect of your life. In the parts that are great and in the parts where there are many problems occurring.

Now if you have an idea and are looking for some input and feedback, there are many people on this forum that will take their time and energy to help you. The difference is that you have something specific and the answers that you will be looking for will be more concrete.

Being Observant is Key.

Maybe there is a situation that arises everyday in your life. Maybe there is a potential product or service to help you and others with that situation.

Ideas are found in problems that you and others encounter.

Take advantage of that idea, create a service or product, make it add value to people lives and continue onward!

I hope this inspires you and helps you find that idea within yourself!

Here are a few links to help you create that mindset and recognize the problems that are happening right in front of your nose!
