Article Overview: If you don't act on your ideas, someone else will.

Seen Your Idea Lately?

Have you ever said or heard someone say "Hey, I had that idea!" I know I have. One day you have a great idea and you know people will benefit greatly from it. You think about it for an hour, a day, or a week and then, as quick as you thought of the idea, it was gone just as quick. Most people are just not oriented to do anything about their ideas, while others believe it would take too much of their time and money to make their ideas work. I have witnessed people getting annoyed and upset about someone else creating, developing or acting on some idea that they themselves had at some time or another.

When you have an idea, you are creating a cause. Based on the Law of Cause and Effect, you will experience the effect of that cause. Your experience could be of you actually executing the idea or it could be of you benefiting from someone else doing it. It is a waste of your time and energy to get upset about someone else following through on an idea similar to the one you had. Seeing an idea that you once thought of, should only encourage you and show you that it is possible for your ideas to work. We all have ideas. We are all creative and we are all connected. It is really no surprised that there would be similar ideas floating around.

Please act on your ideas! What you come up with can be the key to great wealth! Act on your ideas! Here are my 5 P's to making your idea a reality.

1. Purpose – What is the purpose of the idea? Who will it help? Is there a tremendous need for your product or service?

2. Passion – How important is this idea to you? Is it something you really care about? Be careful not to just see it as a money making idea. Focusing on that only will not ensure its success. You must be passionate about your idea!

3. Plan – Create an action plan to develop your idea. Make a list of everything you believe you would need to do to make your idea work. Write down at least 2 specific action steps for each item on your list and get moving! Ask for help and support! Get motivation and guidance from a coach to help you stay focused on your result.

4. Promote – Market, market and market! Create a buzz for your new idea! Create marketing material! Host an event! Create a Blog! Do everything you can to get the word out.

5. Persist – There is greatness inside of you! As long as you keep at it, you will succeed. You must be persistent!

6. Party! – Celebrate your success! I know I said 5 P's, however, once you have done all that work, you deserve a party!

"Our world has changed over the years because new ideas were acted upon. People may not have had all the answers, but as they began to take action, the answers became clear!" -- Catherine Pulsifer

"It is better to entertain an idea than to take it home to live with you for the rest of your life." -- Randall Jarrell

"Often the difference between a successful person and a failure is not that one has better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on one\'s ideas, to take a calculated risk - and to act." -- Andre Malraux

Magnetic Ads - Biz Idea - Attn Young Entrepreneurs looking for a Business Idea. This came to me while sitting in Traffic for about 1 hour while looking and laughing at ridiculous bumper stickers. Note: this idea is rough but will help get the idea-momentum going. Idea: Sell advertising on the back of cars in the form of reusable magnetic signs (about the length of 2 or 3 bumper stickers) Most people shouldn't have reservations to participating if they get a cut of the monthly fee you charge the company advertising and it doesn't hurt their car. An example of a Magnetic Ad: Geico: I saved 15% on my Car Insurance. Call 1-800-U-SAVE-15 You don't have to pay the cost associated with creating the Magnetic Ad because you will advise the company that this belongs to them and you can get them in touch with someone who created reusable magnets. So your basically managing two sides: 1. Company's that want to advertise 2. People in your neighborhood (to start) who will put the ads on their car. Bigger cars can have more than one ad. Happy Money Making!
