I was recently reminded of one of my favourite quotes and mentioned it in another post (can’t remember where, I must be at that age) and is very relevant. Its is from the famous scientist Isaac Newton who said:-

"If it appears that I can see further it’s because I am standing on the shoulders of giants".

He obviously felt somewhat humbled by others who had helped him and who he had learned from.

Lets Find New Business Ideas.

 

All businesses are created first by ideas. Then once you're in
business you need ideas for marketing, advertising, solving
problems, product development etc. The difference between
success or failure could be one just one idea. That's all!
Below are three ways to generate profitable business ideas.


1. Communicating regularly with other business people can
generate many ideas. There are many resources online and
offline to meet new business people lie; seminars, chat
rooms, discussion boards, trade shows etc. Sharing your
knowledge, asking questions, and taking in new information
will stimulate your mind. Your brain will begin to put all this
information together to create profitable business ideas.


2. If you're not much of a communicator, try reading. Reading
can also stimulate your mind. Read business books, magazines,
e-books, web sites, journals, e-zines, newspapers etc. Your
brain will generate profitable ideas by absorbing and
rearranging this information on a regular basis.


3. Don't have a lot of time to read? You could listen to
business audio books, seminars and courses. Listen to
them in the car, while your doing house work, working in
the yard, or exercising. Also, tune in business related radio
stations. This will help you save time and generate
profitable business ideas at the same time.


There are a few extra tips that will help improve these idea
generation strategies. Take short breaks to brainstorm about
the information you absorbed. Keep a notepad and pen
handy to record your ideas so you don't forget them. All
businesses need profitable business ideas to stay ahead of
competition and survive.
