Time to get off of the dime and make your idea’s happen.

Life After a Great Idea: Moving Ideas to Implementation – Charles Lee

Ideamaking

1. Who Are You & Who/What Are You Leading? “Tribes” – Seth Godin – you can make change by leading the world, small groups of true believers, takes a 1000 people. Purple Cow – something worth talking about, something remarkable. Spend your time and money to make something that matters, that’s amazing.

2. How will you implement your ideas?

Practical Insights into Idea-Making:

  • Wisdom comes from the streets – sometimes we project what people will like, not the actuality. If you want to do a college ministry event, talk to actual college people instead of projecting your perception. Allow people to speak into what you are creating
  • Paper please – write it down, solidify the concept
  • Work on simplicity – ($44 B in unused gift cards – giftcardgiver.com)
  • Have a business plan – well-thought-through, numbers-crunched, sustainable plan. Don’t base your whole strategy on the “Like” button

Creativity & Idea-Making

  • When you have an idea, you write down some thoughts.
  • Then you have another idea, unrelated.
  • Then you may have another random idea. Write them down and let them germinate.
  • Then you’ll see connection from one to another, and some will die
  • Finally you’ll have the big concept
  • Share your idea
  • Expect the “No’s” and dream anyway
  • A Disturbance in the Force
  • Work Hard and Persevere

May we never let the lack of implementation on our ideas get in the way of the what God’s wants to make happen in our lives.
