30 day trial: Publishing My Best Ideas

I often think of myself as a person who gets really great ideas that are totally worth executing. And of course I keep them secret because I want to be the one executing them at some point and then become filthy rich because of that.

But let’s be honest for a moment — how do I know I’m not just kidding myself and my ideas are actually worth anything? How do I know someone else would even be able to understand the idea, then execute it, and do that in a really sound way so that one might view the whole thing as successful?

The answer I have is: Not at all. Except… if I just publish every single idea that I think is great and see what happens. What feedback I get, if any, and what people like my friends or total strangers do with it, or not. That seems to be the only way to know for sure.

So here we go: I hereby declare that for the next thirty days I will publish every single really awesome and exciting idea that I get or already got in the past. Every idea that I think has great potential I will talk about in the open, as soon as I become aware of the fact that it came to me and I haven’t shared it yet. I will have to deal with the fear that someone else could become the richest guy or gal in the world because of one of my ideas and that I will get nothing back for that in return.

To more openness and sharing!

Watch out for the first post containing some of the grand ideas I have long stored up in the corners of my brain!
