I know we've all had them, we've all had an idea that we thought if implemented right and given enough time could lead us to millions of dollars, but I'm curious to when these ideas hit you.

I'm curious because mine all seem to hit me at the exact same time, they all hit me when I turn off my computer, lie down in bed and feel so tired almost asleep and then BOOM a killer idea pops into my head and I cannot sleep for another two hours or more because the thoughts of implementing it are running wildly across my brain.

Yes last night was one of those nights, fuck had the absolute best idea for a new site and just finished doing some research to see if others have done it (And yeah 95% of the time it has been done already) but this time I could not find anyone doing it and the best part about it is the industry is supposed to be quiet competitive, however after doing some preliminary research I'm pretty damb sure inside of 6 months, a year at the most I can dominate it, so who knows maybe I finally found my best money making idea yet haha.

What about you any certain times your golden ideas hit you?
 


AHHH FUCK, its too early I mis-spelt the title of this post its supposed to be "When DO Your Million Dollar Ideas Hit?".
 
I'm with you, I suffer serious insomnia because of this (notice my sig). I just got up from a nap because as usual I slept like shit last night working on something. I only sleep the whole night (whole night being after 5 am), when I take a sleeping pill.

I'm either on the verge of discovery something or finally getting all my ducks in a row and having something take off , or I have become delusional.

It really has become an obsession of mine to succeed.

But yes at night is when it always happens.
 
My best ideas hit at the most inopportune times such as when I'm out with my girl or out with friends. So I've since become that geek that keeps a pen and small pad handy at all times.
 
I think of things all the time but mainly at night. As for the million dollar idea, I will let you know when one of them makes me a million. :)
 
Most of my million dollar ideas come when I'm taking a shit. I actually have a pad of paper by the toilet, I usually jot something down when nature calls.
 
I always get ideas when I'm at work cleaning an office (whats a teenager to do to get money...) and then when I think about it for a few hours I realize that it sucks. But maybe it doesn't suck and it could be a million dollar idea? Who knows. I just don't have the money to hire a programmer so I talk myself out of the idea...

Yeah I used to take sleeping pills because of it but the doctor told me he was no longer giving them to me because I was becoming addicted haha fucking doctor, now I'm back to only getting maybe 4 hours of sleep in a row before I wake up and think OH FUCK yes thats great, start up the computer and start working again.

My friends call me a disapearing act because sometimes I'll go two weeks straight non stop work, work, work.
 
I don't get any ideas. I just copy everybody else. Here's to the original thinkers! Cheers!

Guys, it's time for you to learn to sleep every other day...like me...:) I don't have any grand ideas, I just have too much I want to finish to make more MONEY$$$$$$$$. Sleep is for the dead....and for those already making TONS of moneyzzzzzz!
 
I usually get these amazing ideas at like 5am when I am a little delerious...then i think "I had better grab that domain" or something and spend some money getting my ducks in a row.

But then the next day, I got to start working on it, and I realize that it isn't a great idea or has been done bfore, and I now have a bunch of worsless domain names. :(
 
Im with the rest of the crowd... Soon as I turn off my comp, walk into my bedroom and lay down I get some crazy idea for a site and start thinking about how I would lay it out, code it and what features it should have...

Im also with the shitting crowd, I keep a notepad in the bathroom and on my nightstand...

For those really inconvenient times like sitting in traffic I record a voice note on my phone (Blackberry Pearl bitches)...
 
I'm with you, I always get the best ideas when I go to bed but I'm usually so tired I fall asleep and have forgotten them the next day.

Maybe I should get a voice recordre to save all my great ideas

I used to be the that guy...Now I just slip away to make a call and call my own voicemail and leave a message for myself.

To many really great ideas happen when I cant properly document them...

But driving is one place that is a gold mine...Turn off the radio and just think...
 
heh, When do you come up with the $1million dollar implementation? If I could pull that off while shitting I would eat roast beef and ex-lax 24/7.
