Brain Snacks 021: No one steals ideas

Some people protect their big ideas, not telling a soul until they’re ready to publish, launch, promote, or trademark.

That’s fine, but you can refine, hone, improve and perfect an idea if you’re willing to share it as you go.

And if you’re worried about someone stealing your idea, don’t be.

They’re not going to steal your idea; they’re going to steal your hustle.

If someone else launches “your” idea first, it’s because they worked harder, took more risks, had more focus, or dreamed a bit bigger.

The safest way to protect your idea is to run with it. Ideas have legs for that very reason.
