A question to ask yourself when evaluating your brilliant ideas is "Is it
obtainable or sustainable?" it could be both which is great, however, it is
also important not allow the rush of ideas to become an excuse for not
doing due diligence on your bread and butter project, especially when
money and budgets are at stake, and you still have revenue issues.

I say this for myself also because I have had many great ideas but very
few have withstood the business plan scrutiny once market analytics were
applied or were close but not worth complete deviation from the direction
I`ve chosen for the moment.

Knowing that good ideas are immortal helps too, I have a patent pending
on one project for the last seven years, in the beginning I was frantic,
"this could change the world" etc, but sometimes if you are too far ahead
of the market you loose too, so as I have brought forth other ideas to the
market place I let the other age like wine.

I also know that if it is real it will survive and I am learning to do in the
meantime what I thought was impossible, revise and refine and adapt to
the "now". My own ADD had me convinced for a long time that every idea
was a finished, polished moneymaker and why weren`t people just
throwing money at me so we could all be rich!

Your flood of ideas is a sign that you much to do in life and that you have
gifts, just don`t let the blessing become a curse.

Keep track of the ideas and when the first business is successful and you
have extra recources then you can hire someone to manage your business
while you implement otner things or you can hire someone to pull
together the research on you other projects.

I`m sure you`ve thought of all this on your own so I`m sorry if old news
here. There is much excellent advice from the folks above me.

Also, consider that there is a difference between dreams and illusions, it`s
the illusions that keep your dreams from coming true.

To clarify, many of the ideas/concepts I create are for existing industries, BUT a totally unique name and/or angle -  such as ThinTwin.com.

Take a look at ThinTwin.com and tell me that is not an awesome / memborable / catchy name / concept for a weightloss biz!

And just today put up OnloanOnline.com. This may be a new industry as I have never heard of this concept and again I believe the name is one of a kind and very catchy/memorable. Ever heard the saying, "its all in the name"?

Again, I am just trying to use what I believe to be a special talent and make it a business.

If people can come up with their own names/ideas/business concepts, etc then more power to them and I support them, but obviously there are many who can`t and I am discovering untapped ones as evidenced by the fact that no one has bought the dotcom ..except me!

Thanks,

Quentin
