Most people think good business ideas arrive in a “lightbulb moment.”
In reality, profitable ideas don’t just appear. They are collected, connected, and refined.
Think of your brain like a garden: if you don’t plant seeds, weeds grow by default. The Idea Bank is your way to plant the right seeds AKA ideas that grow out of your strengths, passions, and real-life frustrations.
You see…
Having too many ideas is not a problem, it’s actually the best training for your brain.
Having too 0 ideas is not a problem too, we just need to rewire our brains to spot them.
Most successful products don’t come from a single “aha moment.” They come from seeing patterns in everyday problems, frustrations, and passions. The more raw ideas you collect, the better you’ll get at spotting opportunities others miss.

Think of this cheatsheet as your gym for product thinking: every sticky note you add is a “repetition” that makes your brain stronger at connecting problems with solutions.

Don’t worry about whether the idea is “good” yet. Right now, the goal is quantity, not quality.
Later, you should filter these ideas together using market research and competitor analysis to find the one that’s worth pursuing.
So, let yourself go wild. Write down even the silly, unrealistic, or half-baked ideas. You’ll be surprised how often those spark the best directions later.
