I have said these hundreds of times… “It’s NOT the idea as much as how you APPLY it. The best ideas in the world are wasted because whoever had them simply didn’t know how to apply them well. Typically, there are thinkers and doers, it is very rare to be able to do both. So next time you have that big idea find someone to help you apply it, or if you are frustrated that people do not work hard enough with all these great ideas floating around then you should find some idea people and make it happen!
If you want to sell toilet paper, then you could start a toilet paper business right now online and if you truly kicked butt at it, you could make a living. My point is it’s not what you sell as much as you believe that it will work, work hard, and work very smart to make it happen.
Here are 100 ideas that have proven to work and can make any person a living if applied right.
