Business Ideas Book – How to Create One?

We don’t know where and when we can have a good business ideas in our brain. If we don’t remember our ideas, then potential energy of the process of creation of  that ideas will be lower. As a part of the 6 tips for increasing creativity one was always to have the notebook with you where you will note each idea that comes up in your brain. This notebook will be your business ideas book.

It is a simple one table where you will note each of your ideas and where you will note some additional things about them.

The Content?

First, I want to mention that business ideas book can be only one piece of paper only with the names of ideas. But, I recommend one that will increase business potential energy of your company. The form is not important but the content. The content that will present in next sentences is something that will increase your creativity and will force you to additional thinking that will improve your process. One page or piece of paper must be reserved for one idea. Simply, this book must  contain 6 things:

• The name. This is the field that will differentiate one from another business idea. You will probably have more than one, and this will make you to be more organized.
• Brief description. Give some brief description of each business idea. In that way, you will obtain some different aspects of that ideas. This may to bring possibilities of improvement of the basic ideas.
• Current market practice.This is important part of your book because it is starting thinking about a market. What’s going on the market where that ideas will be started. Who is a current player on the market?
• Future activities. With this field, your business ideas book became as a blueprint of your future steps. Describe 3-5 future steps that you must take about each of business ideas. This can be some brief analysis, talking with friends, making a plan and so on.
• Possibilities of realization. What are the possibilities of realization? Here I use 3 categories: Low, Medium and Great possibilities. In this way, you can start with classification and prioritization of the ideas that will go in the next steps of a startup process.
• Quality of the idea. In this field also you can use low, medium and great quality. When you write all previous fields you will know something about the quality of your ideas. This also will help you with improvements of all business ideas. If quality is great then this venture can go to the next steps of a business startup process.

How Can You Make It?

You can make it in a different way. What you will choose is up to you and will depend on what is easier for you. As I mention before, the form is not important but the content. Your business ideas book can be in:

• Paper form – Piece of paper or notebook.
• Electronic form – Microsoft Office Word or Excel file, or other file formats.

The process is simple. You must  have always with you that piece of paper or notebook or your mobile phone to update your business idea book always when you come up with a something worth as idea. After that when you have time spend 10-minute to fill all previously mentioned fields. In that way, your job about that one page in a business idea book is finished.
