Happy Friday!

?? Here is a quick idea before you head off to the weekend:

Ideas are like seeds. If we don’t care for them, they die. Caring means:

• Avoid too many early constraints that prevent them from fully developing their potential.
• Turn them into something concrete. Write them down, socialize them, and build an experiment. Most ideas die in the world of abstraction.
• Look for data. Think about what is the easiest and faster way to test them.

Sure, many ideas won't fly. But we often give up too early on high-potential ideas without validating them first.
