Two Reasons why people won’t like your idea

Posted in Innovation, Start-Ups by on the March 29th, 2007

A lot of the time people will give you one of  two reasons as to why they don’t like your idea:

“It’s been done before”
“It’s never been done before”

One of those two phrases has been true of every idea or business that has ever been successful.

    I’ve received both comments for all of the successful businesses I’ve started. Also I’ve consistently gotten “That sounds like a lot of work!” - but not for the business that have failed. The more apprehensive people are about the work/effort, the better the idea, IMX.
