Will you steal my next BIG BANG Idea?
Well well!
That's what lot of the wanna-be entrepreneurs fear the most! But should you really worry about your idea being stolen?
I've been approached by quite a few wanna-be entrepreneurs who wanted to seek feedback about going ahead with their idea. The problem - they never told me their real idea; instead spent time beating around the bush and thereby, wasting their own/my time. It would be worth knowing what our CEans think about this: If you have an idea that you know will make you the next Mark Zuckerberg; should you share it with your friends/relatives/colleagues and seek feedback, find potential co-founders, investors etc.? Or should you start working on it on your own?
I believe its OK to share your ideas. I've done it so many times and no one ever stole any of my ideas 😁 . However, people unknowingly give you lots of GREAT feedback about your idea. They bring a new view, new approach that might help you execute your idea in a better way.
However, its very important that you share your idea with the right people. Most of the times, you'll be laughed at or turned down. That should not stop you - if you believe your idea is worth following.
Your say -
