After the initial push

Updated December 2016

Jim Connolly December 12, 2016

Once an idea (or project) is out there, it either spreads or it doesn’t.

  • A great idea has legs. You share it with 10 people and it reaches 100 people. That 100 people then get you 1000 people. Repeat. That’s what happens when we hear a good idea. We pass it on.
  • A bad idea has no legs. So it doesn’t spread. You tell 10 people and it stops right there.

After the initial push, if people aren’t inspired to share your idea, take heed. Create a better idea. Build a better project. It’s a far more effective use of your time, than trying to push something that has no legs.
