Where will your brainstorming fail?

🚫 You go with your first idea

Your first idea, will probably be your worst idea. The frameworks we list below help you generate great ideas to work on. When hearing about an opportunity we tend to instantly think of an idea we believe is great and attempt to convince others to work on our idea. This is the easiest way to fail. Go through the process below, complete your brainstorming and get to work 🔥

🚫 You don't challenge your own idea enough

Once you have decided an idea you wish to pursue you need to ask yourself the following questions:

1. Where does this idea fail? [You need to try and break your own ideas, if they do not break and you can not see a way for them to easily fail, they are good ideas]
2. Is this idea currently being implemented in the world? [If someone is already doing it, it's not innovating]
3. Do we need this? [Simple question we don't ask enough. Does society really need this or does it just seem cool? You have to prove that society does nee this]

🚫 You don't ask for help

This isn't school. In the real world, you should ask for feedback, help, advice, opinions, and you can ask anyone. Seek out people who can help you and lean on their expertise and knowledge to make your solution world class.
