Ideas are Worthless

Hunter sent me this exercise that Seth Godin gave his 6 month alternative MBA group.  The gist of it…ideas are cheap.  This is something I believe in very deeply.  I hear it all the time, but still come across people who are wary to share a startup plan or get genuinely upset whenever they see a website launch when they’ve conceived of something vaguely similar.  This is simply paranoia and disconnect.

Yes, there are specific exceptions to a general rule.
