Everyone is keen to become successful and run their own business. Though it may seem to be quite easy to start your own business, but what keeps us from actually starting? IDEAS. Ideas are the key to a successful start up. We are short of ideas that could make a difference, that could probably set the world on fire.

Here are a list of ways that you can use to generate amazing business ideas:

• Meet new people, increase your network. You’ll get to learn a lot from them, which will ultimately help you to widen your thought process.
• Start being interested and involved in what is going on around the world. Try to read as many blogs & case studies as you can.
• Look at all the things that interests you. Make a list of them. Why? "When you're doing something you love, it's never considered work," says Ries.
• Don’t hop onto anything just like that. Stay relaxed, stay patient, stay focused.
• Travelling is also a great way to generate business ideas. It will help take you out of your surroundings and refresh your system.
• Look at your past jobs and analyse what you were really good at.Think of industries and types of businesses that would allow you to use your skills and strengths.
• EXPLORE. EXPLORE. EXPLORE. Nothing proves to be great until you have done a thorough research for the same. So explore topics as much as you can.
