Ray Walia argues founders should share their ideas instead of hiding them. Passion and execution are what's hard to replicate, not the idea itself. Sharing gets you feedback, interest, and potential collaborators.
Because no one will ever have the same passion for your idea.
As you do.
What happens is that passion is something that just can't.
Be replicated.
And if someone tries, they're just not.
Going to do as good of a job as you. When I first started at Launch Academy, I heard a few people mentioning things like, why should I come into a space like this and share my idea and let other people know what I'm working on? Well, I've heard that attitude before. I've been doing startups for a number of years now, and I actually thought like that at one point. What I realized is there is so much more to gain from sharing your idea with people than there is from keeping it secret. It's really unlikely that anyone's ever going to go and actually take your idea. Even if they do, they're going to do it completely different than the way that you execute your idea. And once you're actually working on that idea, the more people you put it in front of and show it to, the more feedback you get, the more enthusiasm you get, the more interest in your product, the more people signing up and wanting to come and help you and giving you new ideas. It's worth it. Get out there. Once you're actually building it, get out there and share your product with everyone. Put it out in front of as many people as possible. Get it out there. Make it happen. Get that feedback. Get more people involved. There's way more to gain from sharing your ideas than there is from keeping them ticking.
Ideas are a diamond dozen.
It's all about execution.
The chances of somebody else in the world having the same idea.
As you is extremely high. It all boils down to who's able.
To take that idea.
And make something happen. It's all about execution.
