Ears Don’t Cause Arguments

Entrepreneurs are constantly coming up with great ideas. Getting advice for those ideas is what proves to be difficult.

The first step the entrepreneur must take is to assemble a team of individuals who know enough about the niche of the idea and are willing to give suggestions. This team can be your family, your neighbors, or selected experts. Any team is a good one.

The second step the entrepreneur must take is to present the idea in a way that everyone on the team would understand it. This is done through examples, giving out details, and other methods.

The first two methods are not difficult to execute. The third method is the most difficult of the three to follow. The third method an entrepreneur must follow is the ability to listen to advice. There may be someone who says your idea isn’t going to work and what you can do to make it work. Most entrepreneurs wouldn’t take that advice and would bush off anything that person has to say for the duration of the meeting. This raises an argument in which everything goes out of control.

Listening doesn’t result in those arguments. When you assemble a team to discuss your idea, you aren’t only proclaiming it. You’re also listening for feedback.
