Dear Warriors,

I observed many people haves too many ideas but little time and limited resources to turn that ideas into actuality. Another aspect of this is that, when you've too many ideas your focus diminishes and you achieve not much because no idea gets enough time and resources.

So, how you go on to eliminate unwanted ideas?

Help!

    People have too many ideas or go after too many shiny objects because they don't have a long enough timeline.

    That is it say, they're not looking far enough into the future with a clear objective of where they want to be.

    If you know what your end goal is, it's easy to work backwards and see how little you'll actually need to learn to get there.

    And if you don't need to learn as much as you think, you won't need to buy tons of info products and won't get blinded by Shiny Object Syndrome.

    The key is not 'eliminating unwanted ideas', the key is 'focus'.

    Stick with the plan you worked out originally, and see it through to see if it works before jumping to the next.

    Some new ideas you come across may be just what you need to make a leap forward, so you should be open to them and what they can teach you, but having a plan and keeping with it should help with the focus.

    Cheers,
    Gordon

    well, thanks. i guess, it's better to keep ideas you think in a box if you're not sure of its immediate implementation. The idea you think is feasible must be given priority and be continued.

      yep, I think you've summed it up.

      It's a fine balancing act - being open to new ideas can mean you discovering something that was *just* what you needed, and being open to change is essential in goal achievement/self improvement.

      However, constantly jumping ship and changing course is *not* good, that will leave you just spinning your wheels.

      That explains why so many people in the 'make money' niche buy one product after another - in this case they are in the jumping ship category, and should stay focused with one idea until that idea either works or doesn't!

    What you are talking about is the worldwide dilemma. Apparently you are not the only one facing this problem. This is the part where creativity and innovation comes in. If you don't have much resources, learn to use what you have in different ways. Like for film shooting, people use ketchup as blood. The same thing carries on everywhere.

    For me, I can not eliminate a good idea, but I can put it in its proper place. I write down all of my ideas, including the next action. I either decided to actively work on it, i.e. take the next action or put on a list that I look at every month. That way, it does not get in the way, but it also does not die off.
