How To Find An Idea For Your Next Business

One simple, good idea can transform your business. It may be an idea for a new product or service, a way to deliver a better product or service in a new, revolutionary way, or it could be an idea about hiring staff, moving locations, a new marketing idea… the list of areas where your business can innovate is infinite.
But how do you go about finding ideas?
One good way is to see what other businesses are doing. Not to copy from them. But because seeing someone else’s idea, when matched with your own personal experiences and beliefs, can trigger a new, better idea which you can incorporate into your business.
Here are five websites that will help you find ideas other people have used within their business – which you can use in yours.
 
Springwise – www.springwise.com – a newsletter about businesses with unique ideas
 
BrainReactions – www.brainreactions.net – an online, community based brainstorming tool that’s perfect for coming up with and refining ideas
 
Entrepreneur Magazine – www.entrepreneur.com – see their archive for great coverage about the inspiration for people’s businesses, and theories about finding an idea for your next business
 
Cool Business Ideas – www.coolbusinessideas.com – a free, bi-weekly newsletter featuring ideas, opportunities and innovations to give you inspiration for your own business
 
Build V1 – www.buildv1.com – network online and discuss your ideas with other entrepreneurs around the world
 
The web is, of course, a vast resource for business ideas. Do a Google search and you’ll find thousands more. But these five sites are the best I know and I’m sure you’ll find them useful.
