How the Internet fried your brain

No army can withstand the strength of an idea whose time has come.
Victor Hugo

Ever imagined a world where original ideas were the norm?

That wasn't too long ago...

Before the Internet

Lets consider a century prior to ours, when everthing was local - stores, services, social interaction and worries.

Back then, all you had to do was make it work where you live. Which is still the case today.

To make ideas work; you need persistence, patience and perseverance to bring that idea to realisation.

L&P - Laziness and Procrastination
Everyone wants more time because they waste it away browsing or socializing away on the internet for hours, reading up on all the latest news and gossip and sitting hours on end infront of a screen.

The easiest product/service to sell nowadays are ones that enable laziness and procrastination. We have proactively dubbed this - consumerism.
 
Take care not to believe by being lazy and procrastinating yourself - you will bring your big idea into the world!

Unique ideas 
To bring your unique idea into fruitition, this is what you'll need to know:

To succeed in life, you need two things: ignorance and confidence.
Mark Twain

So here are a couple of rules:

• Be ignorant but not stupid
• Have confidence but not headstrong
• Be humble but not a pushover
• Have faith and do not doubt

Don't go looking for problems to solve - and definitely don't ask people for ideas. I reckon the only good time to ask people for business/idea advice/feedback is when they are potential or existing customers.

The Big Question
Why do a lot of people fail doing business?

Simply because they aren't working on their idea. Pun implied.
