4. Ask the Guru: Evaluating Ideas like a Total Boss

When in doubt, call on the guru. They'll tell you if your idea is fire or a dumpster fire.

But how does one become a true Idea Guru?

Here's the step-by-step process:

  1. Step 1: Develop a thick skin. Because trust me, not everyone's idea will be good.
  2. Step 2: Read the tea leaves. Okay, not really, but read a lot of books.
  3. Step 3: Talk to people. Lots of people. And by "talk," I mean "listen." (But let's be real, it's hard not to interject with a witty remark.)
  4. Step 4: Weigh the pros and cons. Like, seriously weigh them. Get a scale.
  5. Step 5: Trust your gut, but only after you've read 10,000 books and talked to 10,000 people. Then, and only then, can you truly say, "Dude, this idea is a thing."

And there you have it! Follow these steps, and you'll be well on your way to becoming an Idea Guru.
