How to kill big ideas.#50: Pull back when people resist to your idea. Do not use your intelligence and imagination to convince people of your point of view.
17.09.2012
How to kill big ideas.#49: Work in a place that is dominated by fear. Your thoughts will revolve around on how to protect yourself, not on how to dare new things.
13.09.2012
How to kill big ideas.#48: What follows after having had a great idea? Doubt! Let doubtful thoughts overwhelm and paralyze you.

How to kill big ideas.#48: What follows after having had a great idea? Doubt! Let doubtful thoughts overwhelm and paralyze you.
12.09.2012
How to kill big ideas.#47: You'll be spoiled for choice. Solution A is a compromise. Solution B as well. Decide. Don't search for the unknown solution C.
11.09.2012
How to kill big ideas.#46: Rate ideas using a matrix. Ignore your inner voice. Don't trust your intuition.
07.09.2012
How to kill big ideas.#45: Overload yourself. Try to handle several projects at the same time and you'll lose track.
05.09.2012
How to kill big ideas.#44: Subject your idea to the audience too soon. Your baby will be to fragile to defend itself against the poking, brooding and questioning of others.
04.09.2012
How to kill big ideas.#43: Self-censorship. Censor your own work. Make it smaller, less provocative, less revolutionary, less...
03.09.2012
How to kill big ideas.#42: "Tomorrow!", "Later!", "Mañana!". Postpone your project to the future. Don't live what you dream of. Don't be a closer.
31.08.2012
How to kill big ideas.#41: Ideas can be bullied. Jealousy and envy are big idea killers.
30.08.2012
How to kill big ideas.#40: Play the devil's advocate. Ask yourself: "Is the idea really great or just good?" Throw it away even then, when all the pressures are against you.
29.08.2012
How to kill big ideas.#39: Use creativity techniques. Don't rely on your intuition.
28.08.2012
How to kill big ideas.#38: Competition is good for business. Put your idea under pressure. Come up with 2-3 other business concepts and see which concept asserts itself.
27.08.2012
How to kill big ideas.#37: Invest less! Venture financing halved in Germany from 2007 to 2011. By the way: Venture capital rose in the same period significantly in the U.S.

22.08.2012
How to kill big ideas.#34: Think of design as an add-on to your great engineering. Ignore the fact that design is the product itself for most clients.
21.08.2012
How to kill big ideas.#33: A revolutionary product can't be perfect because it's new. Wait with shipping. Develop it further until your competition comes in first.
20.08.2012
How to kill big ideas.#32: Don't dare to ask the big players in your business for help. Don't cooperate. Do it on your own.
17.08.2012
How to kill big ideas.#31: Don't assume responsibility. Find an excuse like the client, the economy, the money or the bad weather. There will always be a reason why you could not give your best.
16.08.2012
How to kill big ideas.#30: Kill your idea! If it's a big one, it'll arise again in your mind. If not, don't bother. You're free again for new things.
15.08.2012
How to kill big ideas.#29: Ouch! You have failed! Talk about minor topics, like German coach Jogi Löw did, after being eliminated by Italy. Don't pick on the failure itself and don't sparkle with a new strategy.
14.08.2012
How to kill big ideas.#28: Be afraid of failing. The fear of failure is keeping 28% of U.S. citizens from starting a business, compared to 49% in Germany.
13.08.2012
How to kill big ideas.#27: A good chance to think further are random talks. Excuse yourself with: "Sorry, I'm busy - next time!"
11.08.2012
How to kill big ideas.#26: Your fuel, consisting of faith, hope and passion is drawing to a close.
10.08.2012
How to kill big ideas.#25: Just do it and learn from your experience the hard way. Do not carefully plan, rehearse or build prototypes of your idea.
09.08.2012
How to kill big ideas.#24: Waste your money for traveling, expensive cars or 50 pair of shoes. Then twitter out of your golden cage: "I'd like to, but I cannot!"
08.08.2012

07.08.2012
