Tips On How to Process Ideas

 

Here is a guest post from my good friend, Jason Young over at jasonyounglive.com. Great stuff there. Check it! You can also find Jason on twitter at @jasonyounglive.

I was chatting with my friend, Jeremie Kubicek, CEO of GiANT Impact, about how to process ideas. His simple insight has been a help to me.

Filter your idea(s) through the following:

People – are the right people at the table to make the idea executable?
Funding – are the financial resources available to execute the idea?
Timing – are the timing elements aligned to execute this particular idea?
Once you have the main ingredients (above), I would add three important factors:

Organization – are you putting elements together to create a functioning whole?
Discipline – are you prepared to live in an orderly pattern of behavior?
Poise – are you in a state of readiness, especially for the unexpected?

If your idea survives the above process, what are you waiting for? Go for it!

Been On My Mind

Here are just some of the things that have been on my mind lately:

  • I have a meeting with Dan Cathy on Thursday.
  • The pants that I could wear a year ago don’t fit in the waist anymore. I need to do something about this.
  • This is the first Christmas away from family.
  • I need to start playing drums for someone again soon.
  • I need to climb three highpoints this year to stay on track. Which ones should they be?
  • I need to be a better husband.
  • I would really love to sell my home in Atlanta.
  • How much time do I waste in a day?
  • Jasmine really wants that dog, but I bet she’d like a baby even more.

What has been on your mind?
