Buy a notebook

Every woken up in the middle of the night with a great idea? Or had one in the shower? Or in the car? Or in the middle of a meeting?

Of course, you have! You are an entrepreneur, and ideas strike you all the time. But I bet you’ve also had the misfortune to forget one of those ideas, or at least only remember it when the opportunity is all over.

Well, it’s time to put a stop that that innovation leakage with an ancient tool that has been passed down from generation to generation – the notebook.

Go down the newsagent and buy a simple, small notebook that you can carry with you at all times (in your bag or in your pocket). Then, every time you have a bright idea – no matter how big it is – you can quickly and easily record it.

The key here is to get something you can take everywhere – keep it next to the bed, take it to the toilet, carry it on the train.

Because the notebook isn’t just a device for writing things down – it is a symbol that you take innovation seriously, and focus on it every day.

Get it done – today!
