If you have an idea that you think is the greatest idea the world has ever heard, chances are, so has someone else. The difference that makes the difference is if you can actually carry it out and put it into existence. Raise your hand if you’ve actually stopped what you are doing to create a new business from someone else’s idea. No? It’s because starting a business takes an enormous amount of time and resources.
So here’s my advice for anyone who is worried someone else will steal their idea: Start talking about it. I don’t mean call up everyone you know and start telling them about your idea, you will more than likely feel very discouraged by the end of it! I mean, start talking about it to people who can give you real insight into the industry you are trying to break into, the people who have successfully run businesses that can mentor you or anyone else of influence that can give you real guidance and advice on getting started.
Having an idea in a vacuum is a way to stifle the creative process. Let your idea bake for as long as it needs to, then share it. Find mentors you admire and trust to run your idea by so you get some valuable feedback. Things you never thought about, connections that may never have come about, resources you didn’t know existed are out there when you start to converse.
You’ll be energized by what you find out, about the possibility if actually doing it, and your idea starts to take form. It starts to feel real. I can almost guarantee that none of the people you will be speaking to want to steal your idea. You’ll find instead, that they’ll most likely want to help and cheer you on. Don’t deny yourself.
