Every Project Starts with an Idea

Big projects often begin with simple ideas.

A person notices something.

A question is asked.

A problem is observed.

Then someone says:

“What if we try this?”

Ideas do not need to be perfect.

Ideas only need a starting point.

Note

Small ideas can become big opportunities.

Where Do Ideas Come From?

Ideas can come from:

• Things you observe
• Problems you notice
• Questions people ask
• Community needs
• Things you enjoy doing
• Skills you want to develop

Observation → Idea → Action
