How To Know If Your Great Idea Is Worth Pursuing | UYGW056

If you are anything like me, you have a LOT of Great ideas! They flow in while you walk the dog, take your shower, and drive to the grocery store. How do we know which of these ideas are worth pursuing and which of these ideas will be a distraction from what really matters? Tune in as I share my process for choosing the best ideas and moving them forward without feeling overwhelmed.

Join me as I discuss:

· Why you must kill your idea before you allow it to live

· How to choose from among all your great ideas

· Why you can’t finish anything you start (it’s not what you think)

· How to avoid feeling like you work, and work, and work, but get nowhere
