what do you do when your idea is taken ?

[oyinkansolaberry]

Seem to me like no idea is really that original. most times you will discover that what people basically do is retweak old idea and introduce something new alongside it. my advice to you is to sit back and think of how to repackage your idea in a way that will be different from the original one that was stolen from you. cheers.

For me. Just let it go, create another idea and from that idea you have just created, you have to protect it. Learn from your mistake and once you've determined you'r free clear to start your business, give your best in it. And just remember ideas don't create success, action does.

good ideas, useful ideas for others and can help him what he needs. ideas are thoughtful thoughts that come from god for the good of oneself or the good for others. use the idea as best you can and if the idea is good for yourself should be more careful again and make as safe as possible ..
multiply the idea of ​​increasing intelligence and knowledge for us, do the best for ourselves and others. because it's a good deed ..

first i need to know what other i deas i have that any one cant have so that i can fix where im wrong or what are the same idea i have to other, i need to creat my own imagination .

 Personally, I would press ahead if i feel there is enough space in the market for myself and the competition. The motivation would be to do it better than them and dominate the market. Another option is to partner with the competition, as two heads are better than one.

when the idea coming during the project so the well not explain it before the project completion because the project well release and the hacker hacked it

[IAMYOURLEADER]

Launch it because cowards have no place for successful people in this world. There's a lot of people who started the idea first but those others that comes after manage to knock them down. Nokia is the top brand when it comes to mobile phone long ago but now Apple is leading the way.

I always try to improve upon my idea whenever I feel it has been taken
If you start a company where there are no competitors, you will most likely fail. A seed, planted where other plants exist, has a much better chance of flourishing than a seed planted in a desert.

Securing success depends on having that trait that kills off competition, not avoiding it. Google killed Yahoo because its search scaled without increasing payroll. Its crawler and PageRank automated the categorization process that Yahoo was doing via people. Google didn't avoid competing with Yahoo on search. Instead, Google partnered with Yahoo to handle stuff Yahoo couldn't deal with, until the day people started abandoning Yahoo for Google directly. Its differentiator won the choice conflict.

I can not ignore it ... maybe my idea will help him and he will use it in a good way and maybe help his family and make his future work better in the future

Is you create an awesome idea you should review and check it and few of your ideas must be considered as youre main idea to create a bussiness of yours it may help you a lot. 

[ScrumbleGames]

Well first off I don't think you should be telling everyone your ideas in detail, but if he only went off of your idea, I would go against him as competition because you came up with the idea and you know how it is truly saposed to work. So go for it still try, but sadly you can't do anything to him about stealing an idea but you can still crush him in the competition.

[crabby]

I'm sorry this happened to you, but it happens to everyone. There is no project in this world that doesn't compete with something else. I would say there is no reason for you to stop developing your idea. One of the most important things to learn is how to follow through with development. I've had issues with following through in the past and realized that the best way to solve this problem is to complete a project and put it out there. Keep developing your idea, make changes to differentiate yourself, improve on the original idea, and add features that make it better than the competition. Competition is good. Competition will make you better.

You actually started first but someone else does it first. do you still launch as competition or quit give up and go back in the closet ?

Yes you have to lunch it because it is your first idea whom you first started,so dont be nervous about everything you want to do even though their is someone else does it first. Just make an innovation that beyond on the first doer. Make something better than it.because ideas came also from ideas just make something new in the eyes of society.

Recognized an innovation on your idea because making something new and better can over come the first idea whom someone else does.

[irvinwelsh]

Think this way: You can look at each solution from different perspectives. If main idea is taken, find another valuable implementation of your solution or try to implement it with same idea but for another industry with some features developed specially for choosen industry.

That's my opinion. Only trying, you'll reach the result.

[khaled0111]

There are more than 7.6 billion people in the world thus there is a high probability that someone else have the same idea as you.
Even if someone else start a similar project to yours don't give up, you can learn a lot from his experience and avoid his mistakes as you can add more features to attract more customers.

Fight! Fight! Fight! Read my other posts. Never back down! Always double down!

It’s not bad if you launch it, but how can you prove that your idea is originally than the copy write? It’s hard to make it; also I’m sure that the replica of your idea was improved it much better than your design scheme stolen.
I suggest it’s better if you create new idea even how hard to do it, moreover make sure that this idea was not discussed to everyone to assure that your plan is wrap and cannot steal by the intruders.

I strongly disagree with the people who are suggesting you find a completely new idea and don't tell anyone. One thing you should realize when starting a project is that someone else has already done something similar. There is no way around it. What you are trying to do has probably already been done. After you get past that mental barrier, you need to figure out what you are going to do that is going to make you so much better than everything that has already been done. Do you think Tesla was the first electric car company or Apple was the first computer company? No of course not. But when they came into the industry, they had a vision. A vision for how their products were going to change your life. Then, they executed on that vision. You need to do the same thing. Don't worry about what other people are doing. Don't even mind if you tell other people. Let other people know. Do you know why you can let other people know? Because you have the vision and passion for your idea, and they don't. It's really that simple. Stop thinking about whether or not you should do it and just do it. Then, you should come back and let us know how it goes!

[XFlowZion]

Launch but do it better. Competition is always present in the market so you just need to find a way to make your idea or project the best of them all.

[Dodoymabs]

In this kind of situation, I will make this negative to be positive. I will challenge myself to improve what my idea that has been taken. Never give up even failures come because failure will lead us to success.
