One of Dan and Ian 's favorite topics to discuss on this show is business ideas.
In particular, they love brainstorming with the listeners.
Coming up with a great business idea doesn't come naturally for all of us, though we believe it really is a skill that you can learn and get better at.
Today, we are talking about the process behind generating business ideas. In particular, we are sharing five techniques that you might find useful.
We'll also be revisiting some of the business ideas that we came up with on an earlier episode of this show from 2015 and seeing how they fared.
