An idea is a mental representation that arises from a person's reasoning or imagination. Moreover, that notion is based on your experience or ability to project into the future.
That is the magic of a business idea, because it is a future vision that exists only in your mind and is biased by cultural elements or prejudices.
In order not to confuse you and avoid philosophical debates, it is better to analyze the definition of Paul Graham, co-founder of Y Combinator.
What is a business idea in startups?
According to Paul Graham, an idea is a starting point, i.e. it is not a business and not something you can patent from the start. But that doesn't mean you should hide it, the world needs to know it exists.
The first step you should take to activate your idea is to apply different methodologies to validate it and start working. Remember that your idea is not worth anything until you execute it and for that it is important that you validate that it is feasible, profitable or that it contributes some kind of value.
