Too many ideas

[Crazymothef]

Hi,

I'm currently running a business with 2 partners but I'm constantly thinking of new ideas or I find new solutions to problems.

The problem I'm having is that I have too many ideas to start businesses and don't know where to start and mostly don't have the required skill set to start them myself. If possible I would also like to sell my ideas to interested parties, because I don't have time to work on 4 different businesses at the same time.

At the moment I'm thinking about 3 ideas
- Idea Nr 1 is a non exisiting website that works on the same principle as AirBnB but not in the same sector. I believe it would work at its best if it could be attached to one of the major industry players. The problem is that I cannot pitch my idea to the companies to sell it because they would just steal it from me. Or am I wrong?

- Idea Nr 2 is a website with premium plans that offer an online service to existing businesses. This idea requires the most coding. I was thinking of finding investors for the idea and putting it on fiverr, but I'm not sure if this is the way to go.. Learning to code myself is something that I'm working on but it would take years before I can build something that I need.

- Idea Nr 3 is a pop up store (that would change city every month or two) with an online webshop. For this idea I would need a rather big starting capital and probably someone that works in the shop since I don't have time for this. I would be the one searching for the products to put in the store.

In the past I've already had (unique) ideas that turned into big businesses but I never had the time to start working on it myself. I don't want to keep on making the same "mistake" and do nothing with my ideas.

- Would it be possible to sell my ideas? And if so, any advice on this?
- If not, what idea would you start working first on? The one that has the biggest chance of success? The one that needs not too much work?
- Since I'm constantly having new ideas, it would be ideal if I could find a solution that would allow me to think of new ideas and then sell them or have them executed by others because I'm sure new ideas will be growing in my head constantly..


Any advice?

You stated in another thread that you were having trouble with your current partners. With so many ideas to pursue, why not leave your current partnership, then pick your best new idea and start on your own. Put the brainstorming on hold and focus on your own Fastlane business.

I think i like this the most, the idea of combining online and pop up stores is getting the best of both worlds.
