    I think the reason most ideas don’t materise into good money making schemes is simply because they are not fully reasearched

    “Everyone has a photographic memory. Some don’t have film.” I have learnt this the hard way, now I take my notepad to write ideas, everywhere I go.

    The more you can write down, the more you are free to think. Make sure your notebook is of the size where you’ll take it *everywhere* with you. i will often forget to take my phone, but almost never forget my notebook.

    At first it seems weird to write stuff down. but once you start doing it, it becomes addictive. You never know when you’ll want to refer back to that suggestion for a dive bar, book, website, or product or when you’ll want to remember an intelligent quote or advice from a friend.
