What If Someone Steals My Idea?

Jamey Stegmaier makes board games, and has raised more than $1.4 million for his projects via Kickstarter 💰

People often ask him if he worries about people stealing his ideas.

Here he gives six reasons “why the fear of someone stealing your idea is unfounded, counterproductive, and detrimental.”

My favorite is #4…

Your idea is brilliant, but it’s also worthless. Execution is everything.

What would you rather read, an amazing novel, or a single sentence describing an idea for a novel? Or a novel, game, a song, a movie, etc?

An idea only has value when it is executed, and it only has a lot of value when it’s executed well.
