Summary

“All ideas are rubbish”? Is this statement true? Do you think your ideas aren’t worth anything? Tune in today to discover why this disruptive statement is only partly correct...Rob gives his take on this controversial statement and explains why asking others for their expertise can elevate your ideas and allow them to grow and gain momentum and it is this that can turn a rubbish idea into an incredible idea.   KEY TAKEAWAYS The statement “All ideas are rubbish” is only partly correct. The truth is ideas are only rubbish until they are proven otherwise. Everyone who believes they have a good idea will only see the upside of it. Others may point out the downsides as they have a more balanced view. It doesn’t matter who comes up with the idea or if people shoot own the ideas. What matters is you keep coming up with them, they're tested and then the ones that work are scaled up and the ones that don’t work are scaled back. Ultimately a lot of ideas are just solutions to problems. Sometimes you are solving the wrong problems or solving the problem in the wrong way. Taking an existing idea and making it more user friendly, accessible and higher quality is a great skill to have. Ask people for ideas. Get experience from lots of different types of people allowing these experiences to flow into your brain and filter through everything that you already know and then come up with something unique that has demand. If you overly want to control and get the credit for an idea, it is likely that this idea will not grow. Giving other people credit for the idea will allow it to grow and gain momentum.   BEST MOMENTS “An idea is rubbish until proven to be good” “Having a lot of ideas is good if you need to create new solutions” “If you try and come up with these ideas on your own, you struggle.”   [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.
