strictly speaking an idea is worth nothing until it is executed.  the execution (complete of part ) is what gives any idea that &quot;secret ingredient&quot;. <div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Nov 23, 2010 at 11:14 AM, Joshua Twinamasiko G. <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:josht@joshtwin.com">josht@joshtwin.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

<div>This happens in Kampala too, and I guess in every country. Some business 
entities will do whatever it takes to make progress, even if it is at someone 
else’s cost. They are not your friends, and are not trying to help you make your 
big break so you need to be wise while dealing with them.</div>

<div>A certain bright chap tried to sell his application to one of the Telecom 
companies in Uganda, was told to give them the application for 2 week testing, 
and after the testing period he was told management does not think it viable, 
only to see the service launched 2 weeks later with slight modification. He went 
to court, was able to prove that the launched app had the same DNA as his, after 
a few years struggle he was able to get compensation.</div>

<div>Let me share one trick that I borrowed from Michael Scofield of the Prison 
Break TV Series: Don’t share the whole idea, or give them the whole item, keep a 
secret piece which will ensure that someone wont go on with you. Make sure you 
keep the secret ingredient to yourself until beyond any doubt you have a deal. I 
have used that a number of times and it works wonders, just make sure there is a 
part that only you can do or has.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Of course that does not rule out the possibility of someone coming up with 
something else like yours or based on yours if they fail to complete the 
puzzle...</div>

    secondly make sure when you are sharing an idea make the other party be ware 
    they can benefit from your idea but they need to give you a kick back.... 
    else the solution will be copyrighting your ideas...but hey once again this
