My First Million
The best business ideas come from noticing what's working and doing it better, faster, or for a different audience.
Daily Idea Muscle Training
A systematic practice of generating exactly 10 new ideas every single day to strengthen creative thinking capacity
How It Works
Forcing yourself to reach the 10th idea requires pushing past obvious solutions into more creative territory. Ideas 1-5 are easy, but 6-10 force deeper thinking
Components
Set a daily target of exactly 10 ideas (not 5, not 15)
Accept that 70-80% will be terrible ideas
Focus on quantity over quality initially
Push through the resistance when reaching ideas 6-10
Record all ideas without immediate judgment
Review periodically to identify patterns and gems
When to Use
When you need constant innovation in your business, when facing stagnation, when building creative problem-solving skills
When Not to Use
When you're already overwhelmed with too many ideas, when execution is the primary bottleneck rather than ideation
Anti-Patterns to Avoid
Example
“A restaurant owner struggling with customer retention generates 10 daily ideas for improving dining experience. Ideas 1-5 might be obvious (better service, lower prices). Ideas 6-10 push into unique territory (pay customer's sales tax, call customers within 10 minutes of reservation, serve competitor's signature dish as surprise)”
