Create a Plan
Don’t even think about implementing your idea until you’ve actually created an implementation plan – not just in your head, as you need to write it down. Plan for how to implement the idea, pay for it and launch it.

Plan for Opposition
Despite your best-laid plans, you’re going to run into roadblocks. Your best bet is to plan for opposition and roadblocks upfront to the best of your ability.
Take these steps:
- Brainstorm all the possible things that could go wrong with your idea.
- Ask one or more experts (such as a mentor) what they foresee as potential problems.
- Then brainstorm ways to get around these problems.
You won’t be able to foresee every potential problem, but taking these steps may save you a lot of time, money and heartache down the road.
Consider Outsourcing
You don’t need to implement your idea yourself. Instead, find one or more freelancers to set your plan in motion.
For example, if you’re starting up an information product business, you might hire the following team:
- Customer service staff.
- Technical staff.
- Content creation specialists.
- Product creation experts.
- Marketing and adverting experts.

3 Questions to Ask Before Doing It Yourself
Are you considering implementing your idea yourself? Ask yourself these questions first:
- Do you have the skills to create a good end result?
- How much time will it take you to create it yourself?
- What does it cost you (your time per hour) to do it yourself versus how much would it cost to hire a freelancer?
In many cases you’ll find that hiring a freelancer is an investment rather than an expense, so it’s well worth freeing up your time by hiring someone else to do the work.
