Ideas are thoughts, conceptions, notions, aha’s, suspicions, beliefs etc. These thoughts are the genesis of everything, because Everything begins with an idea.
The microwave began with an idea. Self-Checkout began with an idea. Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest began with an idea. The iPad began with an idea. Beats by Dre began with an idea. Toms shoes began with an idea. Multi-site ministry began with an idea. Microwave popcorn began with an idea. YouTube began with an idea. Do it yourself/online publishing began with an idea. Kony 2012 began with an idea. Fried Twinkies began with an idea. Starbucks Coffee began with an idea. Versace began with an idea. NBA’s OKC Thunder began with an idea. Charity water began with an idea. Pull-ups diapers began with an idea. Pay at the pump gasoline began wit an idea. 5-hour energy drink began with an idea. Everything Seth Godin says or does began with an idea. Idea, IDEA, iDea…
All ideas are not BIG ideas; however Everything begins with an idea.
Some people have more ideas than others simply because that’s how they are naturally wired, how they think and how they interact with the world. Each and every one of us has ideas. Some of those ideas we share and others we tuck back into the part of our brain that tells us, “those ideas don’t matter, they could never become a reality and we should simply forget about them.” Some environments, bosses, supervisors, spouses and even friends are Idea Killers. There is no room for new thinking and new ideas, because all of your ideas are dead on arrival.
Your ideas matter, your ideas can make a difference, your ideas deserve to be heard. Start by sharing your ideas with yourself, then share the ideas with those closest to you and finally share them with the world.
Start asking “What If” questions and the “How To” answers will follow.
Not all ideas are good ideas; however Everything Begins With An Idea!
