You’ve gotten clear on the overall objective<\/a>\u00a0for your life and business. You’ve analyzed your ideas based on how soon you need to generate revenue<\/a>\u00a0and the resources, time and energy you have available to invest.<\/p>\n

Let’s say you’ve narrowed down three ideas that fit the best. You’ve selected one that you’re going to act on now while you’re feeling a burst of productive energy. The other two align and you love them, but you don’t have the time, energy or resources for them.<\/p>\n

\"ideas<\/a>Don’t throw them away.<\/strong> Put them on your master list. Doing so is like putting seeds in the ground. You’ll be amazed at what happens when you do this with your ideas. When I first started IdeaMarketers.com<\/a>, I created it to promote experts — talented people I believed in. I even put up a site that featured a few of these people. But within a few weeks, I quickly discovered I didn’t have the traffic to make this site work the way I wanted it to.<\/p>\n

So when the idea for an article directory came along, I took the domain and used it for that. In time, over the course of a decade, that site became an ideal place for me to promote experts. That is what it’s about today. So even though the idea took the back burner for a time, and I even forgot about it for a spell, it still came to fruition when the time was right.<\/p>\n

\"write<\/a>Write your ideas down.<\/strong> I found an old list when I was cleaning my office a few years ago. On the list was a goal to write a book that was sold on the shelves of a particular bookstore. The list got filed away in a cabinet, and I didn’t think about it. By the time I found the list again, the goal had been accomplished. Today I’ve had several of my books sold on that bookstore’s shelves.<\/p>\n

So write your ideas down! Writing them is part of “planting them.” If the time, resources and energy aren’t available now, one day they will be. Trust that it will happen in a very organic, natural way that is for your highest good. Don’t try to force things outside their time or season. Let them happen organically by taking what actions you can and trusting the pathway will open up for you in the perfect time and way.<\/p>\n

I’d love to hear your experiences! Have you had an idea that you weren’t ready to implement, but wrote it down, and found that the people and resources started gathering?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
