Coming up with ideas is the main problem in entrepreneurship. It's easy to act upon an idea and set up the business, but you need that initial idea to start from. Ideas come from your everyday life. When you least expect it. It is very hard to force a good idea. Try thinking of a product or service to make life and everyday activities easier. Once you figure that out, find out if there's a market for it. Then find out if people will buy the product or sign up for the service. You have to see if there is an actual need for it.
I highly recommend buying a notepad. (a smaller sized one would be best, or a handheld device if you have one.) In this notepad you will write down EVERYTHING! Every idea you come up with, whether its a website, a food dish, a video game idea, movie plot, literally anything, WRITE IT DOWN. Record the date in every entry. You can even draw little sketches or ideas for titles or names. As you get more comfortable with writing down your ideas, you will notice they get more and more detailed and developed. You may come up with ten ideas one day or no ideas for two weeks. Creativity, for me at least, sometimes comes in spurts. I believe everyone has the capability to come up with incredibly innovative and successful ideas, they just have to be inspired. Once you feel you have enough good ideas that you're ready to chose which you will act upon, think of the one you are most passionate about. Choose the idea that you could work on initially with no pay. The idea where you work on it because you love what you're doing and you are happy when you are doing it. Of course all work is not fun and you will not love all of it, but if you are working on something you love it makes it all a lot easier to work on.
Thanks for reading guys, hopes this helps, more to come soon.

Top 10 Teen Entrepreneur Savers
Many teen entrepreneurs have the problem of saving money, so heres some tips:
1. If you get lunch money- maybe 3 dollars a day from your mom or dad.
Save 2 dollars and buy a milk and a granola bar. Thats what I did, it comes to .90$ which saves me 2.10 a day. take that x 5 days a week 10.50 x 4 weeks comes to 40.20 Extra a month that you will have. And you will lose weight.
2. If you do go somewhere save your change.
Change adds up, Get a jar and save it.
3. Never pay sticker price for anything.
This is my Personal Golden Rule, I always try to hustle.
4. If you are strapped and have to pay a fee for something at school, ask to pay over time. It generally works if you are not a hoodlum.
5. When shopping for clothes, Sales and Clearance is what you want if you can't negotiate price. I bought a blazer for 7$ at TJ max, and some nice dressy shirts at Kohl's for 8 dollars.
6. If you are strapped or live by yourself, Do not buy fast food, or go to restaurants unless its a special/ necessary occasion.
Buy the food yourself in bulk and for cheaper to save some easy money.
7. Use gas less and less. I ran 4 miles 2 days ago and I can't move my legs very well. It burns calories, saves gas, and makes you look good. What else could you ask for?
8. If you have a school Entrepreneurship and you sell things, This goes with 6, Buy everything in bulk, And I recommends starting some kind of llc and just using the tax write offs. You can change your business model whenever and just have a name that you can diversify.
(I Plan on doing this with my advertising comapny0 I want to name my mother comapny Unify Inc. I will have insurance,advertising, and media. and my slogan for all will be Bringing Everyone Together>This is Ruff Concept)
9.**USE YOUR FRIENDS**
In my Opinion, We Entrepreneurs have the Entrepreneurial Gene. We think differently. For example- My father says how I should go to college and get a good education so I can get a good job.
Lets break that down... Spend 40k-60k for school, waist 4 years of my life, and get a piece of paper so I am permitted to do something.(No Never) Its a waist in my opinion. Think Outside the box. I plan of designing whole advertising plans for companies dressing in my sundays best, strolling in and showing them it. They will be amazed, and will buy my service. I do not need college for that.
But back to the topic at hand. Use Your FRIENDS/PEOPLE YOU KNOW(AKA-MEATSTICKS)
It saves you money, and their slow.
10. You are A teen, Don't be dumb and buy into a MLM unless you really think its worth it. DO NOT SPEND OVER 10$ for some e book, unless its got more than 100 pages, its not worth it. The people making money are the ones Selling, not the affiliates.

15 Ways To Make $$ In School Vol 2
Well, In order to Profit in High School, You must identify what your peers(prospects/customers) want.
In my experiences, I have concluded one of the most valuable things to sell is a eatable item, but here are some more options.
1. go online and get the 500 free business card deals. Put a proxy site like- Gizlio.com on it, an sell the business cards for 1$, This way they get thier proxy service and you get 1 dollar.
2. Sell any/All kinds of candy-gum,suckers, candy bars.
They are all cheap and you can make high returns when buying in bulk.
3. If you have the nerdy, I play Magic The Gathering/Yu-Gi-Oh kids, Then sell them cards.
I remember getting a lot of rare cards from my cousin and selling them at school and split the profit.
4. **Sell Answers**
This is probably one of the oldest known forms of making money in school, in my opinion. Selling answers could never be so easy, now that we have scan-tron cards. Saving the answers from your test on your phone(A,C,B,D)
And printing later, and selling them-Easy Money.
5. Parties- Everyone wants to go to one. Its like an infectious disease in High School. EVERYONE wants to party, or at-least go to one.
Hosting one could generate you easy money. Charging 5$ at the door and having it in your friends basement-Easy Money.
6. Sell Cigars,Cigarettes,and any other substance-BESIDES ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES-(i have created the -N.E.L.B.A.- Which stands for No Entrepreneur Left Behind Act) so dont get in trouble.
7. I once had a friend who wanted to sell his mp3 player, and I said if i get 25% of profit i'd sell it. I found a buyer in Welding class, and bam.
Networking could have never have been so good-Do it sell other peoples stuff-Easy money
8. The Quiet One-There is always the quiet kid in the corner who always seems to be a genius, Find him and ask to pay him if he will do homework by the shit loads. Start find buyers and have him do it-Easy multiple streams of income.-This is just another do your homework idea, but expanded through the use of someone else.
9. Passes-I once scanned a blank pass from school with a teachers sig on it, and re printed it out with the same paper and had 8 of them on it. i sold them each for 2$ a pop-EASY money--VERY EASY.
I then lost the original copy( Bummer)
10. Sell your lunch.
If you have school lunch for free because of a program at school-SELL IT-
instead of someone buying for 2.00 sell your free lunch for 1$- EASY MONEY
11. Contact me and make a party site I design the sites, that everyone in your town can go to, and find parties and make sure cops don't find the site and sell info for paypal--I am going to to do this in my area.
12. Start an underground fighting league
13. If you school has bullies/people who pick on people, Become a consultant on how to get people back.
14. Work at your school store/find odd jobs-IE: take out garbage,clean tables.
15.This also goes with selling food(vending)Sell water bottles at $.75 which would be very lucrative just buy in bulk and carry like 3-4 a day in back pack- and make money when somone wants one.
