I have not had the experience of people calling my ideas stupid. But I have had some people tell me that my ideas wouldn’t work. Unfortunately there will always be people who tell you that your ideas don’t work. Even more unfortunate is the fact that in most cases, the naysayers are right. Most ideas don’t work.
Here’s the thing: it is very hard to tell what will work. People who stand up and build something deserve a lot more credit than someone who sits on the sidelines and throws stones.
My advice is be very conservative when it comes to spending money. Fortunately, in the era of the Amazon and Google clouds, you don’t need to spend a lot to bring your ideas on-line. Even if it doesn’t work, you will have learned a lot designing and building your idea.
Make the best decisions that you can and go for it. Who knows, it might work!
