Smidgens of doubt can be harmful to emerging ideas. Let’s surround ourselves with people who encourage us to keep on nurturing an idea. Sometimes our friends, family, advisors think that they are being helpful. I’ve been so discouraged when somebody says you’re not qualified to write about that so I stopped. But I’ve chosen to ignore them and explore ideas.. maybe these ideas don’t work out but they at least I feel good about the decision.
