    Default I have been suffering from Tekel Syndrome for years

    On any typical day I have at least 10 business ideas go through my head and I always try to right them down in my notebook. I now have a notebook full of ideas and I execute on a few, but get distracted by my next big idea. So earlier today I was thinking that I really need to just pull the trigger on some of my ideas. That motivated me to start researching a couple of ideas. For some reason during the research process I decided to start reading "the book" again. I can say that I got back to the book tonight.

    I started on Chapter 38 tonight and learned enough in the last few chapters to understand so much more about myself as an entrepreneur. I am a serial polygamist who has been marketing my businesses as low quality providers by keeping my prices low trying to break into the market.

    Just want to say thank you to MJ for "the book" and the enlightenment. Time to focus on one venture and get in the Fastlane.

    I have the same problem as you have, I write a lot of "bulletproof" money making ideas that can make me millions or even billions of dollars. The problem is that every time when I get a new idea, I write it down, and I forget about the other ideas, or I just leave them. I want to turn these ideas into reality and maybe me and you can work together on an idea or something and make it real.

    I also want to read MJ's book, and before buying it, I want some opinions on the book from you, I read the other reviews for the book, and they all say that the book is really good, and I believe it. So I'll probably just buy it.

    If you want to chat about some of the ideas, please PM me, and I will be glad to start turning those money ideas into reality with someone.

    You're not alone. I still suffer from the same thing and I have to remind myself to stay focused on my primary spouse which at the moment is my book.

    The Desert of Desertion is why many ideas never make it out of the womb. I think some ideas on a baseline level, need to be given months, sometimes years.

    Wanna make money out of your ideas?

    Here it is:

    Write them down.

    Answer, in writing, the What, Who, Why, Where, How, and a "users perspective scenario" and I will pay you $1 for each idea that answers that one. Send me the email with the idea and your paypal email address so I can start paying you. IT HAS TO BE A NEW IDEA. ICY ALREADY MADE THE EASIEST DOLLAR EVER OFF ME BY NOT ADDING THIS LINE BEFORE.

    Make sure you send it to me as a PM so nobody else can steal the idea I am paying for

    If the idea is great, I will pay you $9 more later.

    Deal?

    Legal stuff quasi-disclaimer: --of course, after I pay you I own the idea free and clear.

    What: Space ship.
    Who: Astronauts
    Why: They like space.
    Where: Kennedy Space Center
    How: Rocket scientists
    User Perspective: Astronauts love space. They want to go to space. Space ships take astronauts to space.

    Easiest dollar I've ever made - need my paypal?



    OT: Just create one of your ideas. You're going to part of the way through think it sucks, or you should do something else. Don't until you get it out and see how it does. Then you decide if you should keep progress with an idea or not. Not before you let anyone see it. Otherwise it's just wasted time no matter if you're 1% complete or 99% complete with bring an idea to the light.

    I'd be surprised if there was someone who consciously tries to figure out problems that isn't always thinking of their "next best idea". You know... people always say action is the most essential part, but once you take action it seems like trying to take action on too much kills you. haha

    Yes, by all means. I will send you that dollar tonight. And thanks to you, I added the disclaimer about the idea being NEW. See? this is the best $1 I've ever invested, I just got a valuable lesson about the importance of writing clearly and say all that needs to be said (and that is why those small fonts disclaimers exist).
