HFHQ 184: Your ideas are worthless…

Listen to This Episode

Episode 184: Show Notes

Okay, so…

I just talked to a guy who I was thinking of hiring to help me grow my business.

He has a ton of experience…

…and he's really smart.

But there's one thing about him that really worried me.

He has a lot of “ideas.”

And that makes me nervous.

Now, you might be thinking, “Isn't it GOOD to have ideas?!”

It can be…

…but usually, it's not.

Ideas don't do anything for you.

They don't make you any money.

They don't bring in deals.

Ideas are kind of worthless.

(At least, on their own.)

If you want to be successful, you need to stop spending all your time on “ideas” and start focusing on something else…
