Idea killers are all around you, from friends, family, and even yourself. The current podcast shows you how to spot them and provides techniques to counter those around you and the biggest critic of all… yourself through self sabotage.
Have you ever come up with a product or idea and been really motivated about it, but then talked to someone who thought it would not work, or talked yourself out of it for fear that you didn’t have what it took to make it work. You have just run into two of the biggest idea killers around: others and you.
Not everyone has the same view of risk and what may seem very doable for you instantly brings up visions of failure for them no matter how worthy your idea or project. It is important for you to recognize how others view the world in selecting who to ask for advice, because some people are very status quo oriented. On the other side of the coin 
is the person who either secretly does not want to see you succeed or even worse want to hear all about your idea so they can steal it. Everyone has a track record and if they have followed this approach in the past regarding other things, the leopard has not changed it’s spots…remember that.
Look for people who have a past history of providing constructive criticism and are supportive. A good approach is to develop your own brain trust as a resource group that you can count on to answer questions without having to go into details regarding where you want to go with your idea or project. And yes, I am advocating being a little secretive because despite past history people steal good ideas all the time.
On the you front, we tend to be our harshest critics and excessive perfectionism is the cause in most cases. The podcast highlights looking at an idea as a step by step approach rather than and unfinished end product, which allows you to move in stages and learn ways to get to the finished product as you go. This helps you do the most important thing of all which is trust your gut. Like it or not it all comes down to that because even if you avoid the idea killers there is still the need to have confidence in yourself.
