Greed and fear. It will stop my invention and hurt the world in the process.

here's why my invention isn't going to go anywhere: I am scared someone else will take my idea with more resources and a better execution before I get around to it .

I'm scared I won't know how to work with the experts in the field. or keep showing up. or that I'm not the caliber person they're used to dealing with.

I'm scared I won't know who to trust and there are plenty of people willing to blow smoke up your ass and take money.

I'm scared of offending people who give me advice that I don't take

I'm scared I'm not smart enough to tackle the unseen things coming up.

I'm scared that a brand new product is just going to be copied better than I did it

I'm scared I'm going to run out of motivation or die before I make the world a better place or find any success in inventing.

I'm scared all of my life energy will ultimately have gone to making some other dude money in some boring field that didn't represent me or who I am at all
