A Safe Environment

Being Passion About Ideas
If you have a stack of ideas, you have to be ruthless about which ones you choose to pursue.
Give time for the ideas to settle. You'll find you are much less excited about some of the ideas you've written down. During the process of pursuing an idea, someone will have to be personally convicted of the idea and want to fight for it.

Put Some Ideas Aside
You're inevitably going to have to say 'no' to some of the ideas you want to execute. Give your ideas room to breathe before you assess them.
- Look at your ideas objectively.
- Choose the ones that have the best chance for success or that support your goals the best.
- Put other ideas aside for a while.
