How to Make Ideas Valuable?

If you want to be truly valuable, stop overwhelming people with ideas and start doing the work.

Your clients and colleagues are already overloaded—handing them more tasks disguised as ideas only makes you annoying. Instead of suggesting what they should do, show them exactly how you will execute the idea yourself.

Approach with a clear plan: “Here’s the idea, and I’ll handle everything. Do you want me to start?” That’s how you prove your worth. If you’re not willing to do the work, why should they?

Make yourself indispensable—be the one who gets things done. [PPH]
