Find your idea champions

When I was a little girl, my favorite book was Christmas in Ladybug Village. At the age of 2, I had the whole thing memorized. This included the dedication which read:

"This book is dedicated to my mother, who has always believed in my work."

Do you have someone who has always believed in your work? Everyone should. This person is your idea champion. Sit down right now and make a list of your idea champion[s]. Then call them when you feel down. Seek out more idea champions. Surround yourself with people who are confident enough to love ideas, even when they didn't think of them.

Your idea champions believe in you even when you kill your own ideas.

Thanks Mom.
