husbands work.

Brainstorm Your Way To Internet Success

 

Brainstorming is a session of time where you record every
idea you have for a particular subject, topic, product,
article, etc.

 

Brainstorming sessions can be on anything. Want to figure
out what to write about for your blog? Brainstorm it! I'm
going to give you a few rules to having an effective
brainstorming session.

 

1. Define the problem in broad terms - Do not build in
assumptions or artificial constraints into the question(s)
you are asking. Make the question broad enough to allow the
generation of many ideas. Instead of "How do I pick up an
egg to move it to X?" ask - "How can an egg move to
location X?". The former inserts the assumption of picking
up - the latter allows for the ideas: allow it hatch and
allow the chick to walk to the final position. The question
will determine the creativity and uniqueness of the ideas
produced during the brainstorming session.

 

2. No limits on ideas. Allow yourself to throw the laws of
physics out the window and cross barriers you normally set
for yourself. Anything is game. This is not the time for
evaluation, it's the time for crazy, wacky and out of the
box thinking. The phrase "Come On, Let's Be Serious" should
be banned from the session. Serious is for when there's
money involved, there's no money yet - so go crazy. Wacky
ideas spark different threads of thought. Those additional
threads may produce the perfect answer for your team. If
those ideas are evaluated out early you may never end up
with the ideal solution to your problem.

 

3. Use time instead of count for ideas. Set your self 20-30
minutes for a brainstorming session instead of 100 ideas.
The interesting ideas only come when there's little
pressure and you've gone through the ordinary ones. Time
instead of a count will give you time to break through to
those ideas without creating the stress of producing x
number of ideas. The time will eventually run out, but you
could be stuck for hours trying to get 100 or 500 ideas
down. Come back to the problem in another session later if
you need to generate more ideas.

 

4. Write everything down - everything needs to be recorded
so it can be returned to and recorded during a later
evaluation phase. As above, nothing should be evaluated at
this stage. If you find yourself not recording ideas, it's
because you're evaluating them. Stop evaluating and start
writing! This also helps if you need to return or restart a
brainstorming session. You'll know where you left off and
can pick up threads started earlier. Find a tool where you
can record all the ideas, fast. Speed is essential, once
you're on a roll, you won't want to stop.

 

 

 

If you follow these 4 simple guidelines for brainstorming,
you should have no problem coming up with a wealth of ideas
for whatever problems you are facing in your business.
