Steps to come up with great ideas:

. Observe Problems Around You

• Look for common frustrations in daily life.
• Identify things that people complain about but don’t have a solution for.
• Ask yourself: How can this be easier, cheaper, or faster?

2. Combine Existing Ideas

• Most great ideas come from mixing two unrelated things (e.g., smartphones + cameras = Instagram).
• Think of two different industries or concepts and see how they could be merged.

3. Ask ‘What If?’ Questions

• What if there was an easier way to do [X]?
• What if I removed [Y] from the process?
• What if I combined [A] and [B] to create something new?

4. Think from a Beginner’s Perspective

• Experts often get stuck in existing ways of thinking.
• Imagine you are learning something for the first time—what would confuse or annoy you?

5. Brainstorm Without Judgment

• Set a timer for 5–10 minutes and write down every idea that comes to mind (no matter how silly).
• The key is quantity—quality will come later when you refine them.

6. Expose Yourself to New Things

• Read books, watch documentaries, or learn about industries outside your expertise.
• Visit new places and talk to people with different perspectives.

7. Flip the Problem

• Instead of asking How can I make this better? ask How can I make it worse?
• Then, reverse those “bad” ideas into good ones.

8. Look at Trends & Gaps

• Find rising trends and see what’s missing in the market.
• A good idea often fills a gap that others haven’t noticed yet.

9. Use AI & Tools for Idea Generation

• Tools like ChatGPT, MindMeister, or Idea Generator websites can help spark ideas.

10. Talk to People

• Share thoughts with friends, family, or colleagues.
• Sometimes, a simple conversation can spark an amazing idea.
