Tonight I sat down with another small business guy and we just talked about ideas. Things that we have done, what we are into now, and what got us to this place. It was great, so many different ideas came out and I got to run my "secret", or the ones I am scared to share, ideas past another person who had great input, encouragement, and questions.
This is a hard practice, sharing your ideas and letting someone else give their honest opinions. It is embarrassing yet a great check up to see how others react. Somethings are our babies and we have a hard time hearing criticism towards them so we are afraid to share. I can't imagine how many great ideas got buried under the rug because of shame.
Here is my challenge: Before you step out with that next great idea, sit down with someone you trust and ask them to share their feedback. They might have great insight to a missing key part of your idea, or they might encourage you and give you that final boost needed to blast off. Either way you will be glad to have their input.
