Do you ever feel like you have more big ideas than you can ever make into reality?

This is the entrepreneur’s blessing and curse, my friend.

If you’re in business for yourself, you probably swim in a flood of big ideas.

• Ways to improve your bottom line.
• What you can do to open up new market segments.
• Product ideas that could be on the distant time horizon.
• Methods of improving your team.
• Systems to improve productivity.

And many men just let these big ideas sit in their head, battling for attention with the tasks they have to be doing.

The mind isn’t a perfect filing system, so many smart men jot some of their big ideas down on 3 x 5 cards, sticky notes or in a binder somewhere.

But because of the nature of those systems, you don’t always have access to them and they’re easy to lose.

In this episode, we explore a bulletproof system to make your ideas into reality in business or wherever else you want to chase big ideas.
