Last night my son sent me a clip of a young Jack Dorsey giving a talk about starting Twitter and encouraging people to “get the idea out of their head.”
Dorsey shared how he recognized he’d have these ideas, but then would think they could only be realized, “if I had this person, or if this technology existed, or if this happened.”
But such thoughts, he soon realized, were only excuses and then the window would close on his idea.
Dorsey then said the thing he learned is to write the idea down, or the code, then show it to people, so it’s not just in your mind. And the sooner we do that, the sooner we get momentum, and can decide if we want to commit to that idea, or project, or not. But the first step is, “get it out of your head.”
