Harvest your ideas

An Idea is a byproduct of imagination. The mother of all disruptive technologies is an original idea. How to get an original idea? This is can be a billion dollar question. Easy living is limiting  both physically and mentally. It limits us as an original thinkers.A great idea becomes a recipe for problem solver. An original idea can be realistic or  non realistic until validated. 

Most of us today see world through the conventional ideas already set in society and environment we live in. Not everyone is self aware about the power of ideas he possess. The power gets limited when we converge them to safe mode of our comfort zone. Think two decades back did you ever imagine of IBOTS and Machine learning. It could have been someone's idea to work.

Good ideas are the value investments. It can become your passive source of income and make you rich.Few techniques that act as a catalyst  in idea generation.

List the problem you can solve and list the problems your team can solve. When you can deploy the solution with the help of team. You can convert your problem solving idea to an business opportunity. 

Brainstorming: It is an innovators lab that helps evolve, structure and validate an idea for innovation. In a group when an idea sparks a constructive debate, it has potential to answer many unsolved problems. It gives us a sense of being together as a team and solve big challenges. If the problem is big as an elephant then divide it into chunks and allocate each chunk to an expert. This way you can brainstorm, delegate and quickly bring an idea from imagination to action. 

Validation: Most of the businesses do not sustain just because they are not build on validated ideas. From idea to real working, an idea needs continuous evaluation under favourable and unfavourable condition. Validate your ideas through series of tests and simulation. Based on results it is recommended to build a miniature model of your idea for further testing. Once this is over, it should be shared with few prospects for their value feedback. Then, on continuous evaluation based on feedback, you get more ideas and suggestion to improve further. 

Harvest ideas: Most of crop of ideas go waste as we do not connect or save ideas for future development. Identify peak time and techniques that generates more ideas for you. Self awareness can help you to tap the prudence of you genuine ideas. Ideation is the most capable tool that human species possess ,so do not let it go waste and start writing them, anytime you get them.
