@Mickey<div><br></div><div>i had to jump at this one :)</div><div><br></div><div>Principal 1: Ideas really aren&#39;t worth all you think they are. </div><div>Yes you&#39;re smart, yes, you&#39;re amazingly wonderful and creative. but in reality very few ideas are truly novel. think about it.... </div>
<div>What really happens is that two independent technology evolutions (say internet and mobile phones) eventually progress to the point where a simple idea to act as a bridge and convergence of the two .. and a product is born. The farther you see the convergence the more brilliant your idea is.. but with every passing day the distance of the two technologies lessens and you dont have a bright idea because it is obvious to everyone.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Principal 2: Big Ideas need Big Resources.</div><div>Dont just rely on your idea to make it all the way. it has to be supported. You need great infrastructure. Say you have this big Idea of going to planet Mars.. Well you need lots of resources to do it unlike a simple idea creating a mobile game of Xs and Os. </div>
<div>In such a case would your rather own 5% of 1 Million or 100% of 10K. thats for you to decide</div><div><br></div><div>Principal 3: Let your ideas gestate. </div><div>Usually we get so overly excited about new ideas. here is the timeline</div>
<div>00:00: great new Idea</div><div>1 minute later: some more details</div><div>2 minutes later: Think of the fancy s-class i shall buy when i get rich.</div><div>3 Days later...  the idea has died down. if its still good after 1 week then you may be up to something.</div>
