Creating-ideas-with-scamper

Who says you can’t crowdfund?  Any idea, passion or vision can be realized on our platform, all it takes is the simple action of making today the day to start it. Renowned Marketer and published Author, Seth Godin, outlines 20 ways that ideas rise to the surface. The most poignant is the notion that ‘Ideas come from trouble’; that possessing a dissatisfaction of the way things currently stand is the spark that can launch the beginning.  To feel troubled about right now, or the desire to disrupt the everyday balance of an uninspiring state can actually be the positive to play the game. Scott Belsky’s book Making Ideas Happen explains, ‘Ideas are worthless if you can’t make them happen’, a philosophy which has triggered him to create productivity tools to help idea-makers harness their efforts towards daily implementation.
