Using Ideas to Create Achievable Results
Last updated on April 11th, 2018 at 11:59 am
Starting up a new venture is always fraught with complications but the bumpy journey can be smoothed with creative ideas for successful results that can yield surprising possibilities.
This is not such a far flung concept either when you consider that all new businesses started life as nothing more than an idea in someone’s head.
We all have ideas, some more than others but it is in these little sparks of mental creativity that giant business concepts lie waiting to be born in the real world. You only have to look back in time to see how certain small snippets of creative potential brain power formed into innovative ideas (see: www.axcp.org) have turned around the fortunes of many an entrepreneur in all manner of business opportunities.
Creating Something Out of Nothing
Back at the end of the 19th century, the very idea that man could fly was considered a fanciful dream that could never possibly become a reality. Yet there were many who tried with designs based on the things they knew that could flu, such as birds and insects.
Then the Wright brothers, who had the idea for a fixed-wing design, put their idea into solid reality. Nobody else (at the time) believed that it was possible for a human being to fly.
Yet despite the naysayers and disbelievers, Orville and Wilbur Wright achieved the first powered flight, thus proving the skeptics wrong.
Just think of how some of our most taken for granted aspects of modern life only came into being because someone had an idea and the determination to make it a reality. Often in spite of fierce resistance from detractors and those that refused to believe.
The Pioneers in Ideas
Marconi had the idea of transmitting sound waves through the ether without the use of wires. But his friends had him committed to a mental institution for assessment. Yet here we are today, able to enjoy the convenience of the radio that when it was first brought to the public was considered a miracle.
Thomas Edison got it into his head that he could create a source of light that could use electricity as its fuel rather than having to rely on candles, oil and gas lamps. His remarkable tenacity backed by an idea saw the creation of the first incandescent light bulb closely followed by many other amazing inventions leading to great social recognition for his endeavors.
F.W. Woolworth had the idea of selling items cheaply in a big store and in a relatively short space of time his 5 and 10 cent stores were a big attraction making him a multi-millionaire! Henry Ford dreamed of the car for the people and within twenty years had produced one of the biggest automobile companies in the world.
More recently, an unknown programmer created an operating system that would power small IBM computers and soon the Microsoft Corporation was founded. That same programmer became its CEO and Bill Gates became the richest man on the planet.
Ideas are powerful entities when they are plucked from their place in the ether by their creators and turned into definite plans for a new venture. Indeed, they are truly the seeds of success in the making.
