Top 5 Ways to Generate a Business Idea

Everyone always complains, “it’s so hard to come up with great ideas.”

I disagree.

Here are five ways to think of something great.

1. Spend an extra five minutes in the shower while your kids scream in the background. It will do wonders for your mind.

2. Jump in front of an oncoming car, where it has just enough time to skid to a halt. Your life will flash in front of your eyes, and you’ll see what really motivates people.

3. Spend 24 hours surfing the web. Do not take a break, do not eat, and do not sleep. The hallucination will set in and every idea will be a great business idea.

4. Join a social network, and take full stock of all the garbage that goes on there. That’s only a sliver of what’s going on in their weird and crazy minds.

5. Go to your local supermarket (or Wal-Mart, if it put your supermarket out of business) and approach every old lady that walks out the doors. “Can I take a survey?” That’s sure to waste a while.

BTW, I’ve done none of these. Except for the shower bit.
