Third option: put it out into the world for others to do something with it.
I've had enough big ideas to know they won't be the last. It's better for me to finish what I've started. But if an idea really is a big one, it's beneficial to me for it to be executed upon regardless of whether I'm the one to implement it or not.
So I'll write a blog entry with the full details, and try to spread it around some, and hope that either someone will take it and run with it, or when someone's later searching, they'll find my thoughts and incorporate them into their own plan.
- dkuchar 17y agoA few thoughts on this. 1. Ideas are never unique. If you've had it, it isn't because you're brilliant (although you may be) it's because the current business ecosystem has made it obvious. If you've had it, I'd guess thousands of others have as well. the difference between you and them might be that you do something with it. 2. I don't know many entrepreneurs who like to build other people's ideas. Maybe that's just me, but I certainly like to think what I'm working on was an original idea...I like there to be a story to how I came up with it, and "this blogger told me to do it" isn't a story I can get behind. so personally, because ideas are in my opinion a function not of precociousness but of an ecosystem, I'd say that it would be better to let some other entrepreneur figure this out for themselves, and use their inspiration as the driving force behind the venture. or, keep it in your pocket. if no one else does it, you might be freed up at some point to pursue it.
