Can I let you in on a secret? Ideas are pointless. How many people do you know that have ‘brilliant new ideas’ all the time but never actually do anything with them? How many people have you heard say “Well, if I did that, I’d do it sooo much better”? How many Pinterest boards do we see full of amazing recipe ideas people will never cook or home décor ideas they’ll never implement?
If you’ve been sitting on an idea for a while, today I’d like to encourage you to actually do something about it. Maybe you just need to start some research, or send a few emails. Remember the first few steps are often the hardest. If you don’t, well that’s fine, but maybe it wasn’t such a brilliant idea after all.
“Expressing negative sentiments in tweets is the second most harmful factor to growing a Twitter audience. This might be because Twitter is a medium dominated by very weak social ties, and negative sentiment from strangers may be unpleasant or uncomfortable for a potential new follower to see.” – Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology
