What’s the Big Idea?

The other night, I received a rather unexpected phone call. I’m usually quite wary when it comes to unrecognized numbers popping up on my call display. But, I felt compelled to answer.

On the other end of the line was an old friend who I hadn’t spoken to in several years. At first he just wanted to touch base, but, as we kept talking, he began telling me about a new business venture he has in the works.

The thing is, after he’d been rambling for 15 minutes or more, I had to stop him in his tracks. You see, I simply had no idea what it was he was trying to do.

There was talk of web sites and advertising and cross-promotions and lifestyle and user input and product reviews. It was a lot to get my head around and that was why he had called me; because he needed some help.

The problem with turning your ideas into an actual, running business is that you may have about 1,000 or more things you want to accomplish in your head. But, getting them done all at once is pretty much impossible.

My friend and I continued to talk for another hour or so. I got him to cut down what he wanted to do into a few simple-to-understand ideas and then we cut it down even more. In the end, we both had a very clear idea of exactly the type of business he wanted to start and we even laid out a plan for him to get started.

When it comes to your own moneymaking ideas, the key to getting started is to hone your thoughts and plans into a concise plan of action. Set goals and have a clear picture of how and when you want to achieve them. In the end, you may not stick exactly to this roadmap, but having some sort of guide could certainly increase your chances of reaching your final destination.
