Creativity Boost: When an Idea is Knocking at Your Door

By Kristina Julin-stringer

It happens to all of us. Suddenly, out of the blue, we get an idea of the type of business we would like to do. Those who are serious about starting a business and running their own company will do something about it immediately. They at least write it down. The most eager people might even search on the Internet to find out about the competition, the potential market size, and the likes and dislikes of the customers.

Then there are the 'let me see' people. They have to think about it and sleep over night before they do anything about it. Last are the people who doubt the functionality of the idea and wait for a better one to come.

Which category do you think you belong in?

Opportunity knocks only once. Is this true? Do we only get one opportunity in our lifetime, and if we miss that then we lose our chances to become an entrepreneur?

Opportunities pass but they do not pause.

Some people do not see the opportunity when it first knocks at their door. But the second time their circumstances might have changed and they might actually be looking for a business opportunity. March to the beat of your own drum and pay attention to your idea. If you feel like you cannot take action now, change what you must so that you can take action now. If you do not want to start a business on your own, find a partner.

At the end of the day, it pays to do something with your idea. It is simply easier to correct your actions later on, but if you decide to do nothing when an idea shows up at your doorstep, you cannot help yourself later on, because out of nothing comes nothing. So take action when an idea shows up. No matter how small it might look, it is ten times better than doing nothing.

Question 1: How do you catch your ideas when they arrive?

Question 2: Do you do some research on your ideas?

Question 3: If so, what kind of research? If not, why not?

Being an entrepreneur is a journey inside myself to find out how far I can go and particularly what I can achieve in my life. To me it is really a dream coming true and I would like to share my experience with other people who are perhaps thinking of starting a business and becoming an entrepreneur. I am particularly interested in giving a helping hand by showing how ideas can become good ideas.
