We have ideas all the time, and sometimes those ideas are so big that we don’t have the skillset to actually follow through on them. So what should you do when that happens? In this episode we discuss our approach to big ideas and the learning or asking for help that comes along with them.
Big ideas can be overwhelming. Especially when so much of it is something new to you. It can be tempting to give up on the idea when you see a long, difficult road ahead, but start small and think about scaling the idea back to something you can start with to ease yourself in.
Scaling back the idea to a ‘phase 1’ before you start learning the skills you need to complete the big picture will give you momentum and make it easier to tackle the unknown.
Don’t be afraid of asking others to join forces on a side project. The person you have in mind might just be on the lookout for something to sink their teeth into!
