Why people say no to your idea
Seth Godin intimates that there are two reasons people say no to your idea: 1) It's been done before. 2) It's never been done before.
I think there are many more reasons that people say no.
- They are scared of change.
- They don't understand your idea.
- They want to repackage your idea as their own.
- They don't like you.
- Or maybe it's a bad idea.
Ultimately it's your idea and you need to take ownership of it. If the naysayers are in the way, figure out a way to move them.
