When is an idea "good"? That is, when do you know you have a "good idea"?
Do you know what the answer is?
You don't know until you try it out. So that is the point! Get out there and try, then you will know for certain. Before that it is just a guess, right.
Robbie Burns said; "The best laid plans of mice and men gang aft aglay. " Old Scottish for; the best planned ideas often don't become the goals you hoped they would. In many cases they just don't work. In other cases we are not interested or commited enough to push on through to the other side. Or maybe it was a bad idea to start with.
One measure of a good idea is can you get it up and running? In other words, is it something you can start successfully enough that it resembles what you thought about? And even if it doesn't look exactly like what you expected, perhaps it leads to something else exciting, interesting or profitable. So a good idea is something that leads to some other interesting possibilities not just the original concept.
One of the other things that creates a framework for a good idea is does it meet your goals and objectives? What are your goals and objectives? Are they real for you or avoidance of reality?
Here is a reality test for you. If you achieve these goals will you be satisfied? In what way? Are you being honest with yourself?
So to test a good idea is to go out and try it out and see what life brings. Be serious and make a committed start. This can be magic by itself.
