How many times have you come up with an idea but ignored it because others thought it was "stupid"?
At a conference that my husband attended the guest speaker spoke about exactly that. It all started when one of the brothers was hanging out at a bar with his friends. The song "I'm sexy and I know it" came over the speakers and he started to freestyle it into "I'm farming and I grow it". Thinking it was a great idea, he went home to tell his brothers of his idea. Only his brothers were less excited about it and thought it was stupid, but he wouldn't hear it. He made them do the video with him and within 2 weeks that video was viewed 6 million times!! The Peterson Farm Bros have gone on to make many other parodies that all talk about their life as a farmer. They have attracted so much attention that they get to travel all over the WORLD talking about agriculture and spreading awareness for how important farmers are.
In the beginning, the brothers idea may have sounded incredibly stupid but he must have had a gut feeling that this was a GOOD idea. Only he saw the vision and in the end, that "stupid" idea was a HUGE success!
So I'll ask you again. How many times are you doing to let other people shoot down your ideas? Your goals? Your dreams?
Don't let your fear hold you back from something great. Those people don't need to see your idea in order for it to be a success. Put yourself out there and show the world who you are and what you care about. Remove your fears and go for it.
It may just be YOUR million dollar idea.
