Building more ideas, part VI - Fourth Support

By now, if you've been following along and building your idea machine, you should be seeing some noticeable results. You're getting more ideas.

The last support in our system is Generosity. Now that you have a bunch of ideas, don't hoard them.

There will be a time when you come up with something really grand, but you don't feel the time is right. Or you don't want to share it with someone else because you're afraid they'll get all the credit.

Don't listen to thoughts like these. The timing is never right, everyone will always try to steal your ideas, and all the other excuses you might have for not sharing ideas will be valid too. Let it go. Tell people about your ideas. Act on them. Don't wait.

Ideas that are hoarded will wither and die. Ideas that are shared will snowball.

Do you have any ideas you can let go of?
