I try and do this all the time by asking friends and family what would make their lives better or easier. Taking in all of these ideas is a great way to come up with ideas. #2 is a great point.

Inevitably, you do have to have passion for your product, AND, there has to be just the right level of interest in the market. Thanks for providing some of the nuts and bolts for good business planning. It’s great to have so much substance shared here at your blog, Pat.

I struggle [terribly] with this question, but have been trying to use something I recently read to help with the process of coming up with an answer, and hope that someone else might benefit from it, too (as I have from CMP's comment). The author is really into visualization and suggests that the reader visualize the following to find their passion: "You wake up in your perfect bedroom, in your perfect house, in your perfect location. Perhaps your bedroom has a balcony overlooking the ocean and the drapes are gently blowing in a comfortably warm breeze. For just this day, you are not someone's partner or parent. You have absolutely no responsibilities. You are infinitely wealthy and have no need to work. Everyone you love is safe, cared for and happy. You are in ideal shape - physically and mentally - and you have boundless energy. Everything is perfect. A member of your staff comes in with your very favorite breakfast (with the calories and fat magically removed), and as you begin to savor your first bite, this person asks: 'What would you like to do today?' " I found this seemingly simple question much harder to answer than I thought it would be. The first thing I thought of was, "No kids? I'm inviting my husband over!" (Sorry, Pat... I have 4 kids, ages 7 to 24... I'm a little jaded :-) But the author (Jon Gabriel) specifically said we also had no partners... Hmm... Only a couple of things come to mind that I would truly want to do (not 1/2 dozen, DDFD :-), but I think I need to work harder to imagine no responsibility... perfection... the ability to do whatever I want. I hope this helps provide another perspective in the quest. BIG-TIME congrats on learning you will soon be a Daddy, Pat! :-) Another great post with great advice – Thanks, Pat!

A passion is a good starting point for a business because "stick-to-it-ness" is critical when things look bleak and you need the motivation of a passion to go on!

As a matter of fact, generating an idea and brainstorming is the most important and basic step in the entire process that could determine a number of our future efforts. Without an idea, market research is useless. Without an idea, getting motivated and taking action would not make any sense. Thanks for sharing your valuable knowledge with us.

One of my great joys in life is watching people attempt to make money online in a niche they know little to nothing about and/or have little to no interest or experience with and was clearly picked because they saw a bunch of other people making good money that way. It's hilarious. The tip I end up giving the most when people are trying to come up with their idea or niche is this: go to your close friends and family and ask them what they would go to you for help with. If they had some type of problem with something, if they had questions about something, if they couldn't figure something out or get something done... what would make them say "Hey, I need to call ::insert your name here::!" The responses they give will tell you exactly what niche you should be in and what your idea should revolve around. And congrats on the baby, by the way. True dat to question #1.
