So, What's Next?

Have you ever had an idea that you thought would be so great that its a wonder the world has gotten along so far without it? Have you had the complete process worked out in your head, from beginning to end, from start-up to the final product? It seems lighting fast, the power of that one seed of an idea. How many of those ideas have you had? How many have you made into a reality? First let me address one thing, if you haven't had "ideas" then you have got to get out of your thought routine and get some kind of creative influence in your life. "Well, I just can't think creatively." B.S.! Just like anything else, if you exercise it, it will grow. Exercise your creativity through music, drawing, painting, singing, whatever it takes. Even if you are horrible at it you can at least start. The point here is to get your mind thinking in a wider array of thoughts and ideas. If you need further help in this area you may give me a call and I'll help any way I can. Okay, now that we've handled that, let's move on to the meat of this dinner shall we? Now, you've had ideas, probably hundreds, like this and you've nothing to show for it. Do you know that God has made you a steward over all that He has given to you? Do you know He gave you those ideas? What have you done with them? Just like money or volunteering at a charity, your ideas are the expression of God's presence in your life. If you are not doing something with those gifts, then you can rest assured somebody else will pick it up and run with it. Why? God gave you freedom of choice, to do and not to do. He broadcasts ideas out that He wants accomplished until somebody feels "called" to follow it through. Now that you know this, I would expect that you will be more inclined to act on the next one. How do you act on it though? All your circumstances might tell you that you're too broke or don't have enough education or that your hair is too curly. You'd better get over yourself and get moving! Speaking of hair, have you seen Donald Trump's hair? Could you imagine that stopping him? No, I don't think so. Okay, so you may now ask "How do I make my idea into a reality?". Are you ready for this? It is going to blow your socks right off of your feet, you may even want to be near a restroom when you read this in case you make a mess! READY?................................




Simply do what's next. Maybe what is next is calling somebody who has a specific knowledge about a product type you wish to develop. Who knows for sure exactly what "next" is, I'll tell you it doesn't even matter as long as you do something towards the attainment of the realization of that idea. Start with a patent search on Google. Go to the library, you know, where they store books that you can borrow. Call the Small Business Association, talk to somebody who has experience, somebody you trust of course. The theme here is just to do what's next. There will always be a "what's next". Find out what it is and do it.
