What's The BIG IDEA?

I don't know. And that is my problem at this moment. I have writer's block when it comes to thinking up ideas for a new business and yet I desperately want some because I am going mental working for someone else.

Some sure fire things I have thought about are
1) creating a craze idea that gets taken up by the world
2) creating a kick arse brand
3) going into business with work colleagues and setting up the corporate retreat business we have always talked about

It's a shame that the viagra penis enlargement patch market is all tapped out.

Read 'Syrup' by Max Barry?

Excerpt:

I read somewhere that the average adult three million-dollar ideas per year. Three ideas a year that could make you a millionaire... So everybody's got ideas. Ideas are cheap. What's unique is the conviction to follow through: to work at it until it pays off. That's what seperates the person who thinks 'I wonder why they can't just make shampoo and conditioner in one?' from the one who thinks 'Now should I get the Mercedes, or another BMW?'


All you need to do is tap those three, my favourite one of current is to have a cable that allows on-the-fly linking/hot linking of iPods. How groovy would it be to be able to trade music where ever you are?

'Got an iPod?... Sweet give me those songs!'

Obviously Apple are never going to come to the party on it and since I am never going to make it happen its out there for someone, but guaranteed its a million dollar idea if you can make it work :D

Pornography is a high paying industry I am told.

I certainly pay a lot for it :P

You're lucky I haven't been spammed to death about Cialis, then...

I know of a market...


Tradesmen have complained to me that they need a software package designed to work out measurements pertaining to their particular industries - especially carpentry. What they need is some sort of program that will act like Excel but where they can enter in the fields and calculations needed in clear English.

For example - in a form, they are prompted for a heading title, then which fields are involved and then what calculations are required.

If a team of people including software designers, programmers, testers and people to question tradesmen on their exact needs were formed then you could do your Project Management thing.

Maybe it could work...
