The Real Reason Why You Can't Come Up With A "Good Idea"

[Mountaintea]

Because you're looking for the perfect idea where the competition is just perfect for you and it doesn't require much to get started and get going. You want to get your first sale tomorrow and not later than that. Seriously. I am right, right?
You cannot generate any ideas, when you're only looking for the PERFECT thing.
You're constricting yourself into a super small box, where there's no room for possibilities.
Get creative, REAL creative.
A real creative entrepreneur, is one who enters a market, even though flooded with competition, but is able to tweak and skew the variables around so much, that he has a unique product.
Creativity is accepting the reality of where you are, the market you're in and then being CREATIVE from that standpoint, seeing what others do and how you can twist and turn the whole market.
Let's go!

You can't come up with an idea because the human mind can only think through analogy.

You cannot imagine something from first principles, unless it's somehow related to a previous experience.

That's why the greatest inventions of mankind either happened by accident or by observing a natural phenomenon and trying to replicate it.

Being creative simply means connecting the dots and merging two unrelated ideas into something new, that does something useful.

There are only two ways to get your business idea:

• Start looking for problems in the world. Reverse engineer a solution. Sell.
• Look at other existing businesses. Analyze their flaws and shortcomings. Improve it. Sell.

The most successful businesses of our time were not the first of their kind. They were not original ideas.

• Windows was not the first operating system.
• Google was not the first search engine.
• Facebook was not the first social media.
• The iPhone was not the first smartphone.
• World of Warcraft was not the first videogame.

All those ideas existed before.
The winners just came up with a better implementation, at a time when the market demanded it the most.
