Entrepreneurs: If you are completing this form, at the top of the first column, write “WHO.” On top of the second column, write “WHERE.” This will be your “Who/Where” list for idea generation. First, I want you to think about who can help you improve your idea? Of all the people you know: Who feeds your enthusiasm? Who helps you think better? Note: Those may not be the same people! Now think about people you don’t know who can help you. Sara talked to department store clerks and factory owners. Who could help shape your ideas?
Think about where you have your best ideas. It might be out in nature, or while driving. It might be at a cafe where you can feel the energy of people around you. It might be at a whiteboard with your team. Or it might be in the quiet of your kitchen first thing in the morning. GO there! Wherever, whenever, and however, the point is this: an idea won’t come looking for you, and it won’t perfect itself. You have to put yourself in spaces, places, and frames of mind, where you can find and shape the idea.
Once you have this “Who/Where” list – you have your action plan. Start talking to the people in the “WHO” & Where columns.
