  • Are you frustrated because you see others come up with great ideas but you can't seem

  • to come up with one!? The truth is that great ideas are everywhere,

  • by the thousands and they're right in plain sight, you just haven't programmed your brain

  • to see them. In today's video, I'm going to teach you how

  • to find countless quality business ideas. Here are some of the tools you'll need:

  • • A pen • A notepad

  • And a working brain. Let's start with a quick exercise: Look at

  • all the circles in this video and try to find as many RED circles as you can in the next

  • 3 seconds... Read, set, and go! So, how many BLUE objects did you see?

  • You see, your brain only sees what you program it to look for! Since you were looking for

  • red circles, your brain ignored the blue objects because you were not focusing on them.

  • The same thing happens with your idea brain. Unless you know what you are looking for,

  • ideas become invisible to most people. But that's about to change. By the time this

  • video ends, you'll be seeing ideas everywhere you go.

  • Ok wise guy, so... How do I find ideas? If you pay close attention, you'll notice

  • that in essence, most -- if not all -- businesses have something in common, they all solve a

  • problem, a need, a frustration, or they make an existing product better.

  • Amazon took the frustration of ordering online and made it simple. Google looked at Yahoo,

  • and made a better product. In order to find great ideas, you need to

  • train your mind to see opportunities in frustrations, needs that aren't being met, or find things

  • that can be made better. The secret is to pay attention to your surroundings

  • and notice opportunities. Start with your personal life. Have you ever

  • feel frustrated about something? Do you ever wish there was a better way? Chances are you

  • are not the only one feeling this way. Your job as an entrepreneur is to find problems

  • and create the solutions. Look for people saying things like:

  • I hate... How do I... This sucks... I don't like...I need help... I can't find... I'm

  • frustrated... I wish there was... Find solutions to those complaints and you got yourself a

  • business. Here is exactly what you do:

  • Carry a small notepad and a pen or use your phone to write down 10 ideas every day. Force

  • your brain to look at your surroundings and find problems, needs or potential improvements

  • to existing products and write down at least 10 everyday!

  • It doesn't matter how dumb or simple your idea might sound, just write it down.

  • Maybe you went to a restaurant, and the service and food were crap, yet the restaurant was

  • full. Imagine what you could do if you started a nearby restaurant with incredible food and

  • service! Your friend complaining about how he hates

  • using excel for work because he doesn't know how to. Why not create a course that teaches

  • people how to use excel and sell it to all those people feeling frustrated.

  • Or maybe you hear a realtor talking about how he has no way of showing his international

  • clients the potential properties other than by boring pictures. Well, why not use existing

  • technologies like 3d scanning to create an interactive, visual and professional way for

  • realtors to show their properties? Like I said, it doesn't matter how stupid

  • something sounds, the trick is to build up your idea muscles like a body builder works

  • on his body. With some practice, you'll notice that you'll start to see opportunities everywhere.

  • Eventually, you will find an idea that will get your incredibly excited. You'll feel it

  • in your gut, and you will wake up the next day anxious to get started. Those are the

  • type of ideas you need to look further into. Have fun with this, and don't overthink things.

  • Don't spend too much time in the idea phase, find something that excites you and go for

  • it. So what are you waiting for? Get out there

  • and starting finding treasures! These treasures are disguised as problems, frustrations and

  • needs. So start digging. I hope you found this video helpful, if you

  • Have fun and thanks for watching.
