I also need advise on this, i am technically good. Working on multiple ideas. New ideas keep poping and i am also in dilemma now which one i should pick first so confused, looking forward to get advise and hear experiences of others

Create a landing page describing the idea "Beta available soon - signup for early access" and get feedback, this will validate your idea and then start working on the with most response, this will keep you focused cause you know people want it.

I second this. If you get people on a list, you also don't want to disappoint them by not coming out with your product.

Thanks, I am technically good and passionate to work but when i start on one , i feel this new concept is awesome and i get diverted from main stream for some time.

But if you think this formula works then definitely, i will try this.

I kind of disagree... I think this can validate your idea, and depending on the results you can build it or not. People you not care that much, since they did not pay anything for this potential product

Have an easy, quick outlet for new ideas coming in.

This will free your mind so you can focus on the one idea that matters. The last thing you want is to shut your mind off completely to new ideas (that's murder).

I would also find a like-minded friend to share ideas with. A smart person can push, prod and alter your ideas for the better - thus helping develop your creative mind.

I say, choose the one in which you spend more time thinking about :) and if there is a tie, choose anyone.

the important thing is to get things done, and this you motivate you to the other ideas also. Maybe you could set a timeframe to work on each idea, and put the ideas (with timeframes) on a stack.
