There is nothing more powerful than an idea. Except for an idea put into action.
There's more than one way to nurture an idea until it bears fruit.
No one way is going to work best for all ideas, but here's a general scheme to frame your efforts:
- Look at your idea. Observe it from different perspectives and angles.
- Take your idea apart. Use different approaches. Try looking at each part as a separate idea.
- Add to/remove from your idea. Your idea should be complete, but not overdone.
- Modify/Substitute parts. Find out which works best.
- Put the parts together. Use different designs and orderings.
- Combine ideas together. In different ways.
- Use your idea. Adapt it for a special purpose. Maybe some new ideas will occur to you.
