The likelihood of never acting on it is huge if you never tell anyone about it, or take the initial steps to making it happen. If your idea is about making money for you then maybe get a provisional patent, but if it is just about wanting it to come to life... forget about protecting the money, and GO FOR IT
That's where I'm at right now too. I'm thinking if I keep it to myself it'll never happen, if I share it, it's at least provisionally more likely to actually occur. Thanks for the input!
Yeah man. I think greed or fear keeps us from letting things out that could be great. If you add value to those around you, money will chase you.
