From Brainstorm to Breakthrough: Choosing Your Next Product Idea!


Today I need to Decide!


If the goal is to design, create, and sell ten products in one hundred days the one thing I do not have is time to faff around.


Decisions need to be made and momentum needs to build right from the get-go!


So many times I see people get stuck in the "I could do" instead of moving onto the "I am doing" and that means that nothing gets built, nothing gets delivered and nothing gets sold! This means brilliant people with brilliant ideas never end up "Getting to the Money"


I have one work day to make a decision as to which of my ideas will become the next product ... and so do you!


The Power of Brainstorming


Think of brainstorming as a fun adventure for your mind. It's like gathering all your favorite ingredients before cooking up a fantastic meal. You see, to make choices, we first need to know what choices we have. So, we gather all our ideas in one place, like a treasure hunt for inspiration.


This helps us shake off that nagging feeling that there might be an even better idea hiding somewhere. Once we see our options on paper, it's like laying out all the pieces of a puzzle. We can start sorting through them, and creating our checklist for the next big thing.


Want to unlock your creativity?


  • Try mind mapping—think of it as drawing a colorful treasure map of your thoughts.


  • Or, have a brainstorming session with pals; it's like throwing a brainstorming party for your brain!


  • Free writing is like a brainstorming diary—no judgment, just free-flowing ideas.


  • And reverse thinking? Well, it's like looking at a problem from a totally different angle, like turning a puzzle upside down.


  • Lastly, a blank page is like a canvas waiting for your artistic ideas to fill it.


So get going - get all those ideas out there!




The Value of Community


My super secret strategy for finding out what I should be doing next .. is you guys!!


It's funny how often the thing I think I should be doing next is not the thing that others see I should be doing - my community will come up with brilliant ideas, requests, and pleas for me to help them solve particular problems.


If I am smart I can listen and they can guide me into what needs to be created next.


If I don't hear it I can create a post, make a poll, or simply jump into the DMs and ask them for help .. I am always astonished at the value these conversations bring to my life and my business.


So who can YOU go ask?




The Magic of Personal Connection


Conversations are where it is at - if you think about everything that we do is about having a conversation in one way shape or form.


I like to get up close and personal - mano e mano - face to face .. or at least Zoom room to Zoom room LOL. I like to meet, to shoot the breeze, to get to know you, to hear you ... for in those moments really solid relationships are formed and strengthened.


I want what you and I to have to be relational not just transactional. I am happier with smaller more niche groups than stadiums of thousands. I prefer to work intimate and deep than surface and superficial and for that, you need relationships built on trust and respect.


When you both trust and respect one another you can hear a request to "hop on a call because I am mulling over a new project idea" and be on that call in moments!


Telling you - there is power in those personal connections!


So who can you reach out to today to chit-chat over this new idea you are mulling?


Call them - I mean call them now!!



The Decision Dilemma



So many millions have never been manifest because a decision was never made to pursue an idea.


Procrastination - simply the inability to decide to get started!


Overwhelm - that is just the outcome of decisions deferred!


If there is one skill I wish for you all to develop this year it is the ability to make a decision more swiftly!


Most of the time it doesn't really matter if you decide red or black - just that you decide on one so that the game can keep in play!


And we all know that if the decision is a bad one the universe will soon send you a message telling you exactly that!


Don't let this year be the year of deferring decisions and never moving forward - be big, be bold .. decide now!




Choosing Your Next Product Idea


So you have laid out all your options!


You have consulted those who are most invested in your selection.


You have consulted a trusted colleague, mentor, or two...


I bet you have a gut feeling about which of your options you are going to focus on for your next project - don't you?


Do you want my advice?


Go with your gut!


Quickly - massively - go all in on that feeling and let's get past the spinning of the endless "but what about" loop and on to creating and SELLING this next project.


This is the time to go ALL IN - for you and the future of your business!


Although - can I be honest? I am itching to find out which decision you made LOL



Taking Action


To decide means to "cut yourself off from all other options!" At least for now!


All those other ideas have not fallen out of the universe and will never be found again - they are still there, waiting until you have had one success and are ready to do it with another idea.


However you can only ride one horse at any one time - so now the horse is chosen for this race let's get to it!


The future is forward - it's out there ahead of you!



The Path Forward


Now that you know what you are going to be building you are ready to find out the right route to help you get there!


The milestones you will pass - the things you will learn - and the momentum you will generate!


It is all ahead of you now - tomorrow and all the days after!


Are you ready?



Celebrating Your Decision


You deserve to be celebrated! You really do!


To choose to decide instead of staying safe where you are. To choose to take a risk on something new. To choose a different path - that is really to be celebrated.


Most people will think - but will never do!


You are not them!


You decided .. and now you can be ready for something very different in your future!


Have some fireworks on me!! LOL



One decision is all it takes to get off your sofa and into action .. so make sure you pop in again tomorrow to take some more.


Keep that momentum rolling through this process of building your first product and you will have a strategy that you can use time and time again - all the way to those income goals you have been dreaming of.


Pop back in again - the adventure continues tomorrow!
