The first 3-4 days of the challenge is exactly that, a challenge.
After that it will calm down a bit, important is just to stick with it.

In day one we learn how to get loads of ideas, and try not to filter
any of them. This is the MOST important day and last year I spent
like 7 days before I had found viable ideas.

Better to spend extra time here, you will catch up.

When you have 30-100 ideas like …

golf training for kids
diet for dogs
cloud watching

etc etc etc

at that point you start going through the process of finding
the best niche.

If you are really pressed for time and can’t sit in front of the computer
all day another place to look for ideas is the library/bookstore.

What books are selling best, what magazines are there for sale.
Maybe a book about makeup or cross stitching.

Or there could be a program about growing banana palms in your
conservatory.

Right now we are only after the ideas.

Hope it helps

This year’s idea gathering seems to be easier,
probably because this tima I’m actually doing
what Ed teaches.

There’s a great video on Jason Moffatt’s blog as well,
if you havent seen it yet zoom over there and check
it out.

Another place to get ideas is trendhunter.com,
just check out the link for a cool idea.

I’m sure Ed will appreciate that.

Today I’ll reduce the number of ideas to 7, and then wait
for Ed’s next podcast.

It is lovely weather in London, so I am not going to hang
in front of the computer much more.
