The Anatomy of an Idea
So how do you develop an idea?  The eternal question.  I look at ideas as a
start to something bigger.  Ideas always start one way and then manage to
transform themselves into something else.  In a way its a fancinating process.  If
you are wise you pull some other people into the process, it really gets exciting.

If look at the process it looks something like this
First concept
Concept gets changed for sale ability
Concept gets adjusted for packaging

You research similar items that are
offered by drop shippers to see
availability and to size up what
competitor sells

You readjust concept to compete
with competitors offering better
features and marketing

You build steps to creating the
system for manufacturing the
product.
You may not take all these steps exactly, but the excercise is to show you how to get into the mindset of building or creating
a better widget.  Using competition is like getting a leg up on them.  You can analyze weaknesses and use them to your
advantage.  If you are entering a market where a lot of sellers sell the same thing, bringing something fresh will help the
entire market sector and stimulate demand all on its own.
