The Creativity Checklist: The 11 Step System That Instantly Pulls Million Dollar Ideas Out Of Your Head

Tim Castleman presents an eleven-step method for turning scattered ideas into workable products and services. Drawing on his own years of struggling to explain his thinking, and on the business he built online, he describes how the system came together in a single evening. The book is aimed at anyone who finds ideas hard to capture or who feels pressed to find the next big thing. Along the way it covers using customer feedback and outside data, telling one's own story to help others, and studying competitors. Each chapter builds toward a practical process for getting ideas out of the head and into the market.
