Personal Narrative: Million Dollar Ideas

Improved Essays
The human brain is quite extraordinary when compared to other brains of different species. Our brain’s ability to conjure up exquisite ideas each and every day is a God sent gift that we take for granted. Without the brilliant mindset that we all carry in our heads. Inventions such as the wheel or lightbulb wouldn’t have existed.
You may wonder, if our mind can produce such great ideas, why don’t most people act on them? Well, anybody can come up with a million dollar idea, even an infant that has yet the ability to speak. The most difficult extension that comes with a brilliant idea is the executing it correctly. Without an execution plan, the idea becomes utterly useless as a tumbling weed rolling in a desert. However, if an idea goes through

By not following that concept, your idea will not see as many daylight as it’d like. An example would be my failed business that went down in the beginning of 2016. I had no execution plan prior to creating my fashion apparel lineup. I told myself that something like that wasn’t needed and by doing so, it never got as many sales or traffic as I’d would hope. In less than a year, the business went down into the sewers and all was lost. The countless hours of work I’ve put into the company was all erased when the business shutdown. With these examples stated, it’s clear that having an execution plan is extremely crucial when you’re going to start a business or exporting your idea out into the world. How does one make the perfect execution plan for their brilliant idea? First, it would require an extreme amount of research that could take weeks or months. However, before creating the execution plan. One must take their idea and share it out into the public and get feedbacks. If you go into a hiatus and spend all your time creating the perfect execution plan, and then finding out that your idea is worthless and silly. That would …show more content…
I completely gave the execution idea a big middle finger and winged it. Which was obviously a huge mistake as later on, the business started to go south and I had no plan to fall back on. That ultimately, force me to shut down the business. Resulting all of my hard earned work sucked into a black hole. If I could ever go back in time to change the things I wish I hadn’t done in order to save the business, and saving myself the huge loss of cash and time investment, here’s what I would do. Create the perfect business plan. With a perfect business plan, the idea will solidly make its way to the end-game, where it can have a cup of tea with Bill Gate’s. Having that main ingredient will bring that brilliant idea of yours to wander places. That’s all you really need, honestly. The core power of an idea all comes down to the business plan/execution. In conclusion, don’t get too ahead of yourself when it comes to executing your idea and sharing it to the world. The key factor into taking an idea from your head and sharing it to the world takes a long of determination and effort. Steve Jobs didn’t take a week or month to develop the computer of what we know today as the “iMac.” Jobs took years of dedication to execute the idea. Whether you’re starting a business or closing it. Take it slow as long as you need to and plan out your steps before making the hard core decision. The mistake I’ve made should be a lesson

    Having ideas is a huge weapon but, what many don’t see is that it is a very positive weapon helping out various things. For example in Fahrenheit 451 Montag finally starts having these ideas and he finally decides to act upon them and goes searching for help to help prove that thinking and books are a wonderful thing. Montags actions may have been seen as dangerous due to the society he lived in but the fact that he finally started thinking is the reason why that society would be saved.

    All thoughts are based off experience; it’s beyond reality to come with an original idea without having any experience within the content of the idea being thought. Any and every inventor in history did not just accidentally come with the idea for their invention, for many, it took years of planning and coordination. Nikola Tesla did not invent the tesla coil or radio from the back of his mind, he had years of prior experience, infact; his motivation for his creative thinking and world changing inventions spurred from his mother who invented small household supplies when while he was growing up. The invention of the modern airplane is example of idea that humankind has obsessed with for thousands of years. An unimaginable number of people have thought about this idea, being able to soar up in the skies alongside the birds.…

    This ted video by Charles Leadbetter is all about getting the facts, about innovation in terms of figures, focusing on simplistic approaches for creativity and comparing previous traditional approaches. Mr. Leadbetter has described innovation as consumer driven approach in the current era of internet and has defined very well the variety of styles between in traditional corporate innovation and consumer-oriented innovation. He emphasizes that consumers know more than the mainstream producers about what's going on in real life and needs of users. This gives rise to the extent of creativity which was pretty low before 10 years from now, but as we are in the information age and in an online world, people are better equipped with all tools which help them to create…

    From a study by Sigmund Freud, 95% of our brain activity occur within the unconscious mind. The unconscious mind is capable of many things and looking at Sigmund Freud's discovery and what he has theorized, that research will forever reign on to the future fieldwork of the mind, guiding all those who study it. This proposition starts with Sigmund Freud who is a Neurologist and is optimally known for his Psychoanalysis Theory and Iceberg model for the unconscious, preconscious, and conscious mind. After the analysis of his research, his exploration will be discussed as an instrument in influencing many others that carry out the work of better understanding the mind.

    The Sure Thing Analysis

    The Merriam-Webster Dictionary delineates an entrepreneur as, “a person who starts a business and is willing to risk loss in order to make money.” Self-confidence is a characteristic conversed in numerous articles about entrepreneurship, such as “The Sure Thing,” by Malcolm Gladwell and “Epic Fails of the Startup World,” by James Suroweicki. To put it another way, without self-confidence, a person would not be comprehended as more of an occupational proprietor than an mogul, as they would not be capable to seize any risks regarding the economy. “The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.” Vince Lombardi’s words…

    A Little Caesar’s HOT-N-READY® Pizza costs $5. It’s not the most nutritious product in the fast food universe, but there are eight slices in a pie, and it tastes delicious. Even better, you can order it in unlimited quantities, and it’s the same price with pepperoni or without. From a business perspective, it’s the kind of price point you can only dream of; as a social entrepreneur, it was the inspiration for the project that has dominated the past two years of my life. I founded Peace of Pizza, a Non-Profit 501(c)(3) Organization, in February 2015.…

    This past summer, at the Governor’s School for Visual and Performing Arts, I received a glimpse of my college experience. Waking up early every morning to finish last minute work for class, and staying up late on weekends playing “sting-pong” had left me in disbelief that this utopian academy would only last for four weeks. Being surrounded by supportive and intellectually driven peers is more than I could have ever asked for. The student body had convinced me that I had been living in the realm of high school for too long. Before Governor’s School, I had become accustomed to a class of disinterested students; I never knew what it felt like to be part of a community that was driven by the genuine pursuit of knowledge and a better world.…
