One of our most common things, our thoughts, our ideas!

Let’s separate this process into phases and name them accordingly.

Phase 1: “I’ve got the best idea and I don’t trust anyone to share it with”
Phase 2: “I’ve got the best idea and I would like to share it only with the ones that I think that I could trust”
Phase 3: “I’ve got the best idea and I would like to ask if it’s possible to ask for free feedback from you”
Phase 4: “I’ve got an idea that I would like to discuss with you”
Phase 5: “I need to start writing down what my idea is”
Phase 6: “I’ve started writing down about my idea and what my next steps would be”
Phase 7: “Does my idea actually solves a problem? What do people think?”
Phase 8: “Does my solution provide actual help to other people who have the same problem?”
Phase 9: “What should I do in order to help other people make their life easier?”
Phase 10: “Am I able to do that alone or should I seek help from other people or from a team?”
Phase 11: “Do I have the funds to do this idea?”
Phase 12: “Should I start implementing my idea or what should I do?”
Phase 13: “Am I ready to be a business owner and start working when I open my eyes till I close my eyes?”
Phase 14: “Is this something that I could actually do and afford?”
Phase 15: “Is this worth doing all that?”
Phase 16: “Let’s start. Who do I ask to participate in this project and how this person be paid?” – I hope that you’ll not reach this level and still think that other people could work with you for free or at least, without a benefit that it would and it should be something different than the “you’ll have the opportunity to work with me”. I can’t think of a person who actually made something by asking other people to work for free. Of course, there are exceptions but you’re not one if you’re reading this?! 😀

So, let’s examine the sentences and realize what “the best idea” means.

Let’s start with “I’ve got…” – You are right! You’ve got something. Something that could be great, but it’s still your something. Your idea. It is solving a problem that’s in your head, not mine. So again, “You’ve got” it’s not “We’ve got” and it’s not “The world got”. It’s your mindset, your perspective, your potential solution for a problem.
