The definition of an idea is a thought, belief, opinion or plan. An example of idea is a chef coming up with a new menu item. An opinion or belief. Something, such as a thought or conception, that is the product of mental activity.

According to Locke there are two and only two sources for all the ideas we have. The first is sensation, and the second is reflection.

Here are five simple steps to explain your idea to customers, investors, or even your Grandma:

1. Keep it short. Your explanation should not be more than a few sentences.
2. Identify the problem you are solving.
3. Simply explain your solution.
4. Explain what your solution means for your customers.
5. Personalize it.
