Ten Simple Ways to Get Meaningful Feedback on a Juicy Idea of Yours
And it all begins… d’oh… by asking for it
You’ve got a great idea. You do. A big, juicy, exciting, game-changing, creative, fascinating, think-about-it-in the shower, kick-ass idea.
I know you do. But I also know it’s just sitting there. In your head. Like a lump.
