AN IDEA IS JUST LIKE A BULLET IN BUSINESS-PROTECT YOURSELF!


 We are in tough times, with the economy standing on a string .  Right now there's no IDEA thats more valuable than a unique idea. Am talking about the potential to do the same thing like others but in a different way that is more modified! "CREATIVITY"!
"Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try" Dr Seuss.
If you happen to attend a class in business school anywhere ,  your lecturers will always talk about the concept of comping up with ideas,at that unique ideas! They will give you examples of Google,Facebook,Microsoft these are ideas they'll never miss out on . This are companies that were started up by unique ideas.There is so  much, or more, to learn from ethical entrepreneurs who worked hard, failed, and had the strength  to stand and start again, or know when to give up and deal with cheap and small community attitudes. Real people who had real problems, real insecurities and real challenges, such as putting food on the table each night for a young family and motivating staff when they were wracked with self-doubt.

Today will look at some of these entrepreneurs whose creative minds worked the magic;
Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield are a legendary duo decided who started  a business after taking a correspondence course on the art of ice cream making. They realized that just about the only college town without an ice cream shop was Burlington, Vermont. With $8,000 in savings and a $4,000 loan, they leased an old gas station in Burlington, bought equipment, and began coming up with ideas for unique flavors . Twenty years later, the company was taking in $237 million in annual revenue. Many of us at first are despising the idea ,surely i also think it would be a cheap one if they hadn't thought about selling it where it had never been! An idea is an idea never despise it, just expand it!
Hoak and Benbow met on an internet message board and came up with the idea for a site that lets fans analyze hypothetical NBA trades. Based in Illinois and Australia, respectively, the two collaborated on Trade Checker, later enlisting the help of Essman.
This was an idea that hit among NBA fans, it also attracted the attention of  NBA general managers. In addition to licensing RealGM software to teams for approximately $30,000 a year, RealGM.com has become one of the world's most popular websites, getting approximately 20 million page views per month.
 Note: This are two individuals who barely know each other but they sparked up a great idea and made it happen. You don't need to start up another Google to get rich "epic fail" i really think a good idea starts from what is around you ,what you love most ,what you know best and can identify with!

Lindsay Manseau  was a free lancer who photographed 25 weddings  in 2009. Her business was booming, but she wanted a way to better connect with her couples and the wedding industry. So Lindsay began developing My Marriage Market, an online platform where couples and vendors will be able to connect.At just 20 ,Lindsay is living a life many of us just dream of.

Idea is  a fashion statement that's rare . We all have different ideas. ideas  are in the sky, in the street,  have to do with the way we live, what is happening,and what we are doing about it. Just get time for them, clear out a corner of your mind and let creativity settle in!
