PRATICAL WAYS TO CREATE AND TURN AN IDEA INTO REALITY—RANDOLPH FINECOUNTRY
IDEAS die in you when you are not
daring!!!
“If at
first, the idea is not absurd, then there is hope for it.”- Albert Einstein
Ideas change
the world. The power of a new idea is the engine that transforms the way we
live and think, if you do not express your own original ideas, if you do not
listen to your own being. You will have betrayed yourself.
However,
when creating ideas. There are so many ways to get distracted, whether you have
ADD, ADHD, or just regular brain in the 21st century, we are easily
distracted by so many things on a daily basis, especially people that are
creative or in the entrepreneurial sector, these types tend to become very
overwhelmed by the many ideas they have inside of them, and it becomes hard to
focus on one thing-which seems to be the of success.
You are an
agent of original genius coaxing atoms into form, following and intelligence
that exceeds the limits of your mind, training, and evolutionary perspective.
Yet wild success is about discovering your own footprints in an emerging world.
It’s about writing your ticket. The answer you may be seeking to the questions
which have caused you to ponder over the strangeness of life may be found in
your mind, through some idea which may spring into your mind.
HOW TO CREATE AND TURN AN IDEA INTO
REALITY
1.
Create a burning desire :
Ideas come from within, call it a hunch, inspiration, prayer, or
intuition. The driving force is desire. Knowing what one wants. Start by
following your guts passion.
Our brain becomes magnetized with the dominating thoughts which we hold
in our minds, and, by means with which no man is familiar, these magnets
attract to us the forces, the people, and the circumstances of life which
harmonize with the nature of dominating thoughts.
2. Write It down : learn to commit all your ideas to paper as soon as possible. No matter how insane or weird
the idea sounds, it is very important that you write it down. Most great ideas
are short spanned. Meaning they flash through your mind like a speed of light.
Trust me; you don’t want to forget the idea that just flashed your mind. It
might just be the jackpot you’ve been waiting for.
3. Focus on just one : if faced with multiple ideas, there is the temptation
of wanting to execute all at one time. Wrong move! Since you will be working on
the project for long haul, the natural thing to do through process of
elimination is to choose the one you are most passionate about. Stick to only
one idea at a time. That way you can focus all your energy in transforming it
into reality.
4. Refine your idea : it is often said
that there is nothing new under the sun. But creativity is what makes every
idea different and unique. Spend time to tweak, twist, and redefine your idea
as much as possible. Like an artiste would work on a sculptor, take time to
identify the objective, your target audience and most importantly how to brand
you. That way, you stand out from the crowd.
5. Test your madness: I call it “Anderson Cooper’s keeping
them honest.” Present your idea to your mentor or close acquaintance. One that
is well schooled in your field of choice. Brace yourself mentally to answer tough
questions geared towards turning your idea into reality. This is quite a
crucial stage that will help to identify loop holes which you may have omitted
during conception.
6. Draw a business plan: Creating a business plan allows you
to identify potential problems and opportunities your business might face,
avoid penalties, fines or other legal problems, adapt to changes in the
marketplace and yet you expand or contract from a position of objectivity. You
can share a business plan with potential partners, advisers and sources of
funding. I strongly suggest that a business plan be a work in progress you
should keep current.
When success comes they come so quickly, in such great abundance, that
one wonders where they have been hiding during all those lean years. Success
begins with a state of mind (desire), with definite purpose, backed by an
amazing idea. Knowing that my state of mind is ready for success and welcomes
all forms of obstacles including self-doubt; I can boldly gaze back at my
friend and say, “Yes, it is possible.”
