STEP FIVEThink of as many ideas as you

can and do this every weekend. You should be able to force a good idea out of

your passions every weekend. Your best idea will not likely be your 50th or

even 100th

your own thoughts on the idea and make a powerpoint that you would present to a

potential investor. does the gist of the idea resonate well? does the

execution of the idea flow? What are the biggest obstacles?

STEP EIGHTMove to prototyping early

and often by finding someone online that is a designer and have them work with you to prototype and animate your

ideas.least expensive and quickest way to prototype

and communicate your ideas

STEP NINELook first to find companies, partners, people that might

care of your idea so that you do not have to start from

scratch hopefully. Try and get an NDA and communicate with

them as to their interest. remember an idea is worthless without execution and you will need

help.

until you find a way around itMeanwhile work on one of your other ideas

Repeat as needed until you have the right one that hits all the right timing
