Oh, So You Have An Idea?
Ideas are like seeds, scattered and easily forgotten. But what about that one seed you know is worth planting and nurturing? That one mustard seed you're willing to go all in on. What does one do with that first seed?
Plant it in the right soil.
Alright so what's this mean exactly? Simply put:
Position your idea in the environment where it has the best chance to take root, grow, and be protected.
Soil that’s too dry, crowded, or toxic kills even the best seed. Your job is to find the fertile ground where attention, trust, and protection already exist.

Well, the idea in question needs to solve a particular pain-point your audience would love to solve, or even perhaps an alternate method.
