Ideas

[Adam256]

This isn't a mind-blowing concept, but a simple daily habit from Mayoshi Son I have implemented in my life which can help. A consistent excuse is I have no ideas (which is bs I know). I challenge you to just write down one single idea at the end of each day, any problem that you could solve in the world, where you could provide value, or anything relevant. I know this is probably not that relevant to many on this forum, but for people who are starting off it's super easy to do and it gets you thinking in the right way each day. Then you could analyze these ideas from a CENTS perspective so often and filter the relevant or promising ones.

This is something I can benefit from. Thank you for this idea

I'd argue this makes up the vast majority of current forum members, thus rendering your "tip" extremely relevant.
Personally speaking, I also believe it's a good habit/exercise for new entrepreneurs to do every single day. This is still something I do every single day (though, I do it whenever an idea hits me).
Doing so will quickly remove the "I don't have an idea" curtain that we all pull over our eyes. Of course, this "curtain" only exists because new people are terrified of putting themselves out there and doing the work.

Cheers.

This is great! I'd argue this is certainly something for both beginners and seasoned entrepreneurs. Once an entrepreneur, always an entrepreneur. We all can benefit from noting the ways in which we can create value!

-Esign tools for non-tech-savvy older people. Many of them struggle with it. Not something I have a solution for. They do not know how to use Adobe or other existing software tools. Even you use edge, you still need to know how to navigate the "draw button". It must be so simple that it is as easy as using a physical pen to sign on the screen of the device and the file kind of "catches it" without the need to press any button.

James Altucher takes it even further. He writes 10 ideas each day down on a waiter paid (limited space so he can't put too much) to build and maintain the habit of being an "Idea Machine". He even wrote a book about it.

I got 3-4 days in but didn't keep up with it. Definitely a useful habit from what I can tell.
