Which One Is The Big Idea?

Which one is The One?  You just know.

Which house is The Dream Home?  You just feel it.

So which business idea is The Big Idea?  The one that will put you on the cover of “Fast Company,” send your kids to private college, transcend you to career nirvana?

About 45 times a day I think, “Someone should invent this.”  Lately I’ve thought that Someone should be me. Problem is, I just don’t have a gut feeling about which idea to run with.  I suspect it’s because I can’t believe any of my ideas are good enough.  But then I get to thinking about The Snuggie — if that can make millions… I mean, it’s a backwards robe, for crying out loud.

I bet if I buckled down and actually drafted a business plan, I’d see that I have good ideas that shouldn’t be dismissed. So I’m starting today. If you need me, I’ll be furiously typing at my computer, wearing my Snuggie.
