I am reading James Altucher's book 'Choose Yourself' and just finished MJ's book this weekend. In both books they talk about coming up with ideas that will serve a need or help people. James recommends coming up with 10 ideas a day on a variety of topics.
Here is my problem. Practically every day it seems like I come up with an idea that seems great. Then when I think about it some more, I start to poke holes in it and think 'that will never work' for some reason or another.
I have written posts on this forum and PM'd people thinking I have some great idea and asked for ways to implement it. They would give me ideas on how to move forward or explain why it will be a large challenge technically.
It feels like I have ADD. Brainstorming ideas and wasting people's time with all these different directions. How do you settle in and figure out the thing to go after without wasting a lot of other people's time - or having them think you are not committed to anything? It seems like there are SO many ideas, and my issue is how to decide on one.
How do you decide which idea has the best shot of coming to fruition?
