Thanks a lot! These suggestions are really helpful, and am glad to get some specific direction! About validating my idea, I am not a person who follows the star

Thanks a lot! These suggestions are really helpful, and am glad to get some specific direction! About validating my idea, I am not a person who follows the start up news a lot, so, I may be wrong, but is it okay to share a idea before building it? What if someone hears my idea and build it before I do? I am uncomfortable with this, or am I missing something here? Thanks again :)

Everyone has ideas, actually it's very likely your idea already is being worked on or exists in some version. Successful companies are all about execution. Here are some articles that cover this question in detail: -http://cdixon.org/2009/08/22/why-you-shouldnt-keep-your-startup-idea-secret/ http://cdixon.org/2009/08/22/why-you-shouldnt-keep-your-star... -http://blog.foundersguidebook.com/2013/02/why-you-should-share-your-startup-idea-asap.html http://blog.foundersguidebook.com/2013/02/why-you-should-sha... -http://www.natsturner.com/post/20257121566 http://www.natsturner.com/post/20257121566 If you are not comfortable sharing your idea online, I would advise to share it to potential customers, not friends and family. F&F are biased and will tend to give positive feedback. You need feedback from people that are willing to PAY or USE your product, complete strangers.
