If you have more questions, ask in the comments and I will answer.

Sometimes people ask, “did you only start coming up with ideas because you already had it made?

ANSWER: I was on the floor crying because I was dead broke and dead lonely and had no prospects so that’s why I had to do it.

So now, 1000 words in (“tl;dr”) The Ultimate Cheat Sheet for Becoming an Idea Machine….

The below is what I do and what works for me.

Sometimes I get paid for them. But I’ve learned a lot along the way.

If you’ve ever been stuck—in a job you hate, in a house you can’t afford, in a life you don’t want, in your own depressed mind, anything—I want to help you.

Why? Sometimes I  give them for free. You don’t. (this is not bragging – I went dead broke about 2 years after that).

Nine of the ten ideas were BAD.

But you only need one.

There’s no way to know in advance if a business idea is a good one. Every meeting you are at, you will take the meeting so far out of the box you’ll be on another  planet, if you are stuck on a desert highway – you will figure the way  out, if you need to make money you’ll come up with 50 ideas to make  money, and so on.

After I started exercising the idea muscle, it was like a magic power had unleashed inside of me.

But every moment,  this moment while you are reading this, you get to choose abundance,  gratitude, kindness, integrity, “goodness”. I don’t like getting in front of a speeding train in either direction. I’m absolutely sure that there is greater than a 95% chance that the markets will be SIGNIFICANTLY higher in the near future.

So different there is no way I could’ve  predicted the differences.

Six months ago I had no podcast. But that’s when I stop practicing what I am about to advocate.

Try it for yourself. The key is to keep activating parts of your brain that have  atrophied.

Sometimes if I don’t feel like writing down a list of ten ideas I’ll do something else.

Like I’ll draw ten eyes.

Or I’ll make a collage.

Or I’ll take photographs of the ten most beautiful women I see today.

Six months before that, several I had not yet gone on several board seats that have done well for me. Because all of your billions of thoughts have led you to right there. I haven’t had a business since 2009. Or maybe you think it’s bragging. I’ll tell you how here. There is always at least one piece of useful information each day along with plenty of fun stuff.

I said:  “This virus has a lifespan of about three months. For  instance, Google started around 1996 but didn’t make a dime of money  until around 2001.

Here’s my favorite example. And I’m the author of the Wall Street Journal bestselling book “Choose Yourself.”

I’ve started 20 companies, 17 of which have failed.

So he called up all of the investors, some of the best investors on the planet, and described the side project to them and all the traction they were getting, etc and then made an offer, “Since this is a different direction, I’d be willing to buy all of your shares back so nobody will lose any money.”

100% of his investors said, “YES!

When  you are “failing quickly” as opposed to self-sabotage or fear of  success or you’re just stupid.

That was the last time I tried  to start a business.
