Alright, I'm poking fun at the fact at how Warriors tend to wait until an even number (1,000th post, first $100 day, etc.) before they post something useful. Don't get me wrong. I love this tradition, and I hope to see more of these posts soon.

Anyway, my post today is aimed at people who have great ideas but don't share them. There are generally two reasons for this:

1) They're afraid they'll get laughed at.
2) They're afraid someone will steal their idea.

How does one address these valid concerns?

Well, for number one. If you get laughed at, rest assured that it isn't personal and most people will forget about your moment of humiliation by tomorrow anyway.

As for number two. There are stupid people out there who will steal your ideas. But if that happens, remember the old saying "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery".

If you have an idea for a new product/service/website/etc., and you'd like to improve it, share it here. Most warriors are nice people who will help you improve your idea and encourage you to take action. Plus, you may end out giving someone else a really good idea for their own product or service.

All I'm saying is, if you're a forum lurker, change. Create an account if you don't already have one, and make some posts. Chances are you will be a valuable addition to the community (unless you're a spammer, of course).

Not only that, but actively participating in this forum will help you take action by committing to your goals, and it will help improve your learning, because you'll get to ask the questions that no one else is asking.

I may have seem to have done an about-face in this post. First I'm talking to people who have great ideas but don't post them, then I'm addressing the lurkers of this forum who don't post at all. What gives?

Truth be told, I'm still talking to the same people. You have great ideas to share with this community, even if you don't realize it yet.

So, get aboard and start posting. You'll have fun along the way.

Joshua
