A little anecdote about ideas: A few years ago, I was talking to some members of my family who had a product idea they wanted to develop. The idea was to sell travel toothbrushes with toothpaste pumps in the handle of the toothbrush, so that the paste could be stored in the toothbrush and dispensed through the head of the brush. A few months later, I came across another couple, 5000 miles away in another country discussing the exact same idea and speaking of investing their life savings into the development. Just last week, I heard someone speaking at a startup event about developing and working on the exact same product The point is, somewhere right now, someone is having the EXACT SAME IDEA as you. Scratch that, 5 people are thinking about the same idea. A good idea is important, but an idea is meaningless. Design it. Build it. Sell it. Ideas won't make you any money, and nor will complaining.
