I have no clue what to do on social media
The only thing I have is an idea .outside of that I have nothing foundational.
Sometimes not knowing what to do is a blessing .
And it is a blessing because it causes you to experiment which also means there is opportunity learn .
I know for a fact that it is easy getting caught up into the logistics of things .
I also know that ” having knowledge and not using it ” hinders progress because Your mind is full of ideas .You end up confused because you do not know the way that you want to go.

Let me give you a heads up “No idea is Guaranteed to be a success let alone make you “rich.”
For example ; say you want to market car accessóries .
If you search the internet for groups and people in that niche you can find information relating to that specific topic
So there is always a way to get information in order to get and give feed back .
Having Ideas are the starting point. Business plans are are useful too .
But Nothing can compare to the execution of your thoughts and ideas.
knowing more than the next person does not guarantee you will be successful
People get hung up on ideas and do not produce a thing.
The biggest problem is in procrastinating and assuming that things will go a certain way.
But unless you are in the market testing there is No way to actively measure your progress.
Action breeds results one way or the other.
See…You have it in your mind that your Project is the next big thing which might be true.
But the Striking reality is that there are billions of people on the planet with ideas.
Why is yours the one the world needs ?
There are people speaking publicly about their ideas then there are people staying silent ,there are people manufacturing Packaging ,marketing , selling .
You cannot package your thoughts.
Your thoughts are not your merchandise .
Until you take the dream out of the labratory very little progress if any at will be made .
So You would never know if there is a market útil you research and test .
You cannot sell the Idea just thinking about it.
And it is not like you can market the idea to shop owners
No one knows if there will be a demand or not.
If There is no proof of concept
Your ideas are your intellectual property .
They need to be manufactured.
Every moment you contemplate and second guess yourself some one else is producing, marketing buying and selling .
There is a very high probaility that you might see some one with a similar concept as yours .
At that point you might get upset and bent out of shape .
Look at yourself in that cãse.
Take ownership

Instead of pounting fingers saying he /she took my idea .
You decided to sit on the idea. You made the decision not to take action .
This is what you need to know (No one in the world is Sitting around waiting for you to give birth to your dream)
Especially when there is competition producing .
Your best bet is to analyze and then test the market
stop over thinking and start testing.
There might be a market for your invention ,there might not be.
Sometimes getting to the market first gives you an advantage because you can capture majority of the market share .
Any body that comes after you will get a smaller chunk .
Here is what else you need to know .
Fancy Product designs features are useless if they cannot readily be sold.
Save yourself some time and money.
So Come to the market with glitches in your products and allow the públic to give you Feed back.
I know that you do not want to dedicate five long years developing a product only for it not to sell.
I am sure that will cost you money .
Wouldn’t that be a hard lesson?
Só I am urging you to Be more intuitive and active ?
You Need to pay attention and jump into gear.
Overthinking can spoil what could possíbly be a life changing opportunity
By the way what makes you Think your idea is going to fly off the shelf ?
If you look at the Products Apple produces you will see they are consistently upgrading their phones.
That alone should tell you something.
It tells me that technological innovation is changing at a very fast pace .
So You know what else that tells me ?
It tells me that Products become absolete fast.
That also tells me people set trends and Pretty much dictate the trends .
This year, this month, maybe last year your Products flew off of the shelf this year might experience a steep sales decline .
Next year there is no Guarantee that things will be the same .
Hence why you cannot áfford to get complacent assuming that things are going to fall into place automatically.
You will get left behind .
Peoples buying habits change .
Business is like fashion and the people dictate .
The market is changing at a rapid pace .
Marketers are pushing Products left right and center.
There is no rush but you cannot leave your ideas Sitting up collecting dust.
Bring them to fruition.
And if you are afraid some one might Steal your idea get it trademarked and patterned .
Trade mark will only protect you so much though.
There are people with brilliant ideas that are not executing .
Some people get fascinated with the thought of the dream but lack the drive and Passion to see them through.
You have to have the vision and patience to see things through.
You can’t have multiple Ideas and not make decisions on what you want to do.
Your focus cannot be all over the place .
Because You want the ” the next big thing” . You are under the assumption that the your Product or Idea is automatically going to change the world .
I have seen people with that mentality in action.
The mindset is likeI am going to work on this one ,next week I am going to work on another one .
In that case you are better off not doing anything at all because you are wasting time .
How can you possíbly make progress that way.
There comes a time when you must pivot .
Sometimes there might not be a market large enough to generate sales revenue to recoup the cost of research Plus make profit.
In this instance abandon the project.
It is not economically feasable to develope a product knowing that the market is not large enough.
Save yourself time and money again .
Investing hours thinking your product is going to change the world
Some People are so optimistic and possessed that they will continue developing products despite the economic indicators alarmimg them no to do so.
On the other foot I do not support crash programs. A Crash programs is when management remove personell from one project to the next without finishing it.
It cost money and time doing that .
There is no added value in doing things like that .
No one on your team can learn like that .
That is why you should measure your progress.
Progress cannot be measured unless you are active.
Brainstorming is like masturbating ,action is the real deal.
No product or idea ever got developed without going to the labratory.
I do not want to discourage you from thinking because it is important.
I want you to be strategic .
I want you to map out clear defined goals .
Having a plan gives you the outline and direction.
Having direction gives you direction to where you want to go .
Outside of that you need a solid plan of action so that you can get the product developed.
Having a market and demographics of people to market to is the proof of concept.
This is why I prefer to build in stages instead of wasting years developing a product that doesn’t
There is no need for a perfect plan because a perfect plan does not exist .
Just remember all Products have glitches.
Só whilst you Think your idea is flawless it is not.
I am not saying that to discourage you in any way.
I Just want you to realize the importânce of bringing Forth your thoughts .
I do not want you over thinking guessing what the market is going to do.
Ah the End of the day the market is going to do what it usually does.
Só it is your job as the marketer to make adjustments so that your Products and serviçes meet Customers demand and sell in the market.
When you have an idea stored in your memory you cannot measure.
Only by action can you Truly measure your success.
Mind you I love ideas but an Idea in of itself is not good enough .
Your idea needs to be backed up with action.
You need to get active so that you can guage the market because Sitting on the idea will not help.
Either which way you go you still have to learn through trial and error .
Mistakes will be made but it is learning from your mistakes that matters most .
Fear of failing is like a dark cloud holding you back.
All the preperation in the world will not prevent you from making mistakes.
Mistakes let you know what needs to be fixed.
I would prefef you to go out make mistakes instead of dreaming of what could be.
As long as you build ,measure and learn there is nothing to Worty about .
Not taking action is your biggest problem.
You got so wrapped around the thought of your idea now you cannot let go .
You have people to this day that did not have the best ideas but managed manufacture and sell Units.
The idea does not have to be the best .It is the finished product and the Fred back that you get to help build and design that matters the most.
conclusion
Do not be anxious to rush, do not be afraid of failing.
Do not cheat your dreams out of the attention and love they so richly deserve.
Take price in what you do but be fearless on your path.
Remember failing is a bit part of the game and it is something that you would have to get used to .
When I say get used to it I mean being able to withstand the pressure of failing.
Knowing and understanding that failing does not mean you are a loser.
The objective is to learn from your mistakes.Use mistakes as stepping stones to help get you to the next level.
This is a game that has to be played creatively.
If you are strict and regimental then chances are you Won’t Grow.
You have to flap your wings if you want to fly
You cannot fly standing still. No one ever made progress without making the effort .
I am optimistic and I love ideas but I know That it is the work that is most important.
Do not fall in love with the idea fall in love with the process.
Action gets you results.
