5. Simplify your idea. Can you condense, trim down, compact, minimize, or narrow your idea?
6. Change your idea. Modify
name, color, sound, shape, form, function, smell, taste, and properties of your idea.
7. Make your idea meet
needs and wants of
masses. Does your idea meet
basic needs and wants of more comfort, money, food, shelter, time, space, convenience, attractiveness, health, and beauty? If not, alter your idea to meet one if not all of these needs and wants.
8. Add more value. What will add more value? Add extra features, durability, safety, thickness, accuracy, guarantees, uses, and freebies.
9. Examine what others have done. Emulate professionals and experts who have had great success with a similar idea or product. Are you facing a problem that has already been solved? Use
past as a tool for experimentation and learning.
10. Flip a coin. When you cannot make a decision, flip a coin. Once
coin falls, use your intuition and gut to make a decision. If you feel comfortable with
result, go with it. If you feel uncomfortable with
coin toss, make
opposite decision.
