An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea. "unknown"

Ideas. We all have them. They are up waiting to explode from the dark recesses of our thoughts.  Most times we never know when an idea is about to explode out into the foreground of our minds.  Everyday we have ideas on an unlimited number of topics.  The question is what will we do with those ideas. To advance an idea to reality you need the personal confidence to put it out on the table for inspection and comment as you push the idea forward into action.

In business, I practice the black bullet of death theory for all my ideas.  When idea emerges, I try to find the one big reason why it will not work.  Reasons like money, existing laws, time, and peoples opinions do not count as they can all be changed.  I am looking for that single reason that that the idea could not recover from.  If I do not find the black bullet I continue advancing the idea towards reality.

It will take courage to share your wild and crazy ideas with those close to you.  They are the ones who always care about you, and in my case they want to protect me from myself.  Take heart, all great ideas go thru three life cycles on the way to success.  1.  It can't be done, 2. It probably can be done but its either too hard or not worth doing, 3. They knew it was a good idea all along.  

So when that next big idea emerges, see if you can find the black bullet of death for the idea. If not, be prepared for the "It can't be done" comments from everyone.  This is where most great ideas die before succeeding.  The it can't be done" is not the black bullet of death, but this is where many warriors give up.  You see advancing ideas to reality are like a mother giving birth. She hears many comments and has many helpers on the topic of the actual delivery.   But in the end it is one person, the mother, who endures the final pain to allow that new life its first breath of earth's air. Great ideas are same, they can be painful and in the end their birth into reality depends solely on you.

So the key is to great ideas is action.   The birthing of great ideas is hard and painful to those pushing this square rock uphill. However,  the payoff is exhilarating to have the naysayers come to the point where they knew it was a great idea all along.

So have the confidence to release those great ideas out of your mind and into action, and do not be swayed by the unimaginative who want to simply tell you why things can not be done a different way.
