How
to Bring Your Ideas to Fruition
By Darren Roberts
A
couple of years ago I put an article together entitled "10 Top
Ways To Generate Brilliant Ideas". It presented ten different
lines of thought that you could practically use to bring together
a vital part in your success; your ideas.
Today I want to get into developing
ideas past the concept stage. Let's face it, an idea on its
own is just that; an idea. Ideas are the starting point. They
are where your brainchild is born. It is here where your thoughts
culminate to put your best foot forward. Ideas are the basis
for everything we do. Ideas give us direction and purpose.
However it's what we do
with these ideas that really counts. Our ideas must be developed.
We need application. It's when the idea has momentum that we
need to move with it giving it the attention it deserves.
Too often ideas fall by the wayside
never to see fruition as they aren't supported by desire to
apply its thoughts. In fact I know of so many cases where people
came up with excellent ideas but for some reason or another
never put the time in to realize them. It's such a waste.
A very good friend of mine had some
of the best ideas I'd ever seen. In fact he had gone so far
as to think it through almost in its entirety as to how it could
be applied. He was psyched. He was so excited. He had put a
plan down on paper going into immense detail. Very thorough
thinking. Unfortunately, that's where he stopped.
He's not alone. In fact he is very
much a part of the majority. Human nature seems to peter out
at the "action" stage. Why is this? Why do people go so far
as to develop a credible idea to the point that it has become
a well laid out plan, only to not just slow down from a sprint
to a walk, but to come to a complete stop? Why?
It's almost like creating the perfect
recipe then refusing to ever cook it. Here's the difference:
The idea can't be the first stage.
It must occur after stage one. For your idea to be generated
there must generally be a reason. If the reason isn't personal
enough then it's probably not close enough to your heart to
make the difference. Of course, if it's the wrong reason and
you're doing it because of that then you know that it won't
give you the satisfaction you need to take your task to the
end.
Try this on for size:
(i) Goals/Dreams
(ii) Solidify Those In Step (i)
(iii) Visualize
(iv) Develop Your Ideas
(v) Take Affirmative Action
THE RECIPE FOR YOUR IDEAS!!!
It all comes back to the basics. Since
the majority of us seem to skip at least one of the first three
steps then steps (iv) and (v) can't be optimised.
Take your goals, dreams
and desires and put them in a large mixing bowl (ensure your
bowl is large enough). Mix them together and let them brew in
the corner.
Dependent upon the mixture you
may need to continue mixing until the ingredients have solidified.
With a spoon take out small portions
of the mixture and place each portion where you can see them.
Almost like bread, the better portions will rise before your
eyes.
Take your favourite pieces
and knead them a bit as you develop its shape.
Finally - bake it until
done at the correct temperature using a high action oven.
Your ideas are important. You deserve
the best so develop them. Develop them well and your success
is without a doubt another step closer.
