Right now, I have a list of 12-15 ideas that I eventually want to implement, and these are just the ones that I think have serious potential. To generate ideas I have never once looked through blogs or tech articles about what's hot or where the money is. Why? Because if I work on something that I'm not passionate about, I will quit. It's inevitable. To be honest, I don't actively seek projects to work on at all. Every single one of my ideas has come from a problem, large or small, that has affected me personally. The idea in the front of my mind right now is so vivid that it has kept me awake at least 2-3 nights a week for the past 8 months. And it's not even complicated or revolutionary, per se. I'll even share - it's a note-taking app, like Evernote. I am learning how to code for the sole purpose of realizing this project. If that's not passion, then I don't know what is. Sure, plenty of my ideas have already been implemented in some shape or form, but there's always room for improvement. That's how the world works. Google didn't invent search. They made it better. Apple certainly wasn't the first to build a smartphone. They just made it better. “Our entrepreneurial motivation is not confidence, it's an insatiable desire to improve. It's not about thinking your ideas are better than everyone else's, it's about never accepting any idea as being best.” http://blog.asmartbear.com/self-doubt-fraud.html http://blog.asmartbear.com/self-doubt-fraud.html
