What to do when you have a great idea and nothing else?

[eternalgloom]

The most important thing you can do is just start working on your idea and learn all skills needed while you're doing that.
There's a big chance that you will fail, but you will gain a lot of experience by going for a hands on approach.

Skills that you learn while you're working on this particular project can be used later in life.

Remember that starting is the hardest part.

Idea on their own are worthless.  Almost any idea you have has occurred to someone else as well.  Unless you can execute them, you're not the one who will profit from them.  And that's fair...coming up with a good idea is maybe 2% of launching a successful business.  Whoever does the other 98% of things necessary for success deserves to get the rewards.

For me, the idea is not important if you cannot activate it in real life. So everyone has many ideas, but the problem that there is a fear of failure in many of them. And many are afraid to realize their ideas (even if these ideas are successful and unique). Moreover, If you have only an idea, all you have to do is actually analyze this thought, So you must accept always the truth and deal with it . for example, if you have an idea which is "Making something to social communication ", you must have a vision on what is available in that field. there may be an idea that has been achieved and it is better than what you have (like , Facebook....) so you must always accept the truth. and if your idea is unique and something new , you should try to develop it and do not  rush to achieve it in reality. even if it fails, it is necessary to learn from that failure and to re-develop it and you must   always trying again.

RECRUIT A TEAM and GIVE THEM A PREMINE

[carlfebz2]

Stop worrying about somebody stealing your precious idea.  Your idea is worthless, and it’s not very good.

Hold on.  I am not trying to be nasty.  I will tell you a little story—the much abbreviated version.

How do you know his idea is worthless... or that it is not very good.  
The op never specified what the idea was.

my advice would be work out a plan on how to provide POC of your idea.
or possibly create a detailed plan outlining the idea.  
Work on networking in the community if your project requires coding.

You have lots of options open to you. I guess you should do some research and document your idea would be step 1,

Good luck

This is what I do like to know about the idea that on his mind but well checking out that he don't tend to share it to public and would create on his own. Before All, His a Civil Engineering if he would tend to create or to code on his own then he would really need the skills before he would able to achieve such thing and it would really takes time for sure.If he would tend to find a team then it would really be an another possible option for his idea to be applied on.

Correct.History proves that one who executes the idea turns out to the winner under the hood.However in 2018,if you have an idea,you have all the resources which will convert it into a reality if you manage to raise money from some investors who again will do if your idea is great.

Shark-Tank is a nice example how start-ups can start low or with a blue print model and impress the end customers.

At what points that you can say, this is an good concept. You see your concept as good idea from your view. May be someone else will see this is an dump. So best thing is, discuss with someone who u are trusting and has knowledge about crypto. Wish all da best.

[minthit]

Learn the necessary steps to accomplish that idea. Of course, if you have enough capital, you can also outsource it. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure your idea will be taken with no credits. Great ideas mostly take time. So, take your time and never give up. Good luck!

Nothing better than a hands on approach and, of course, failures are the better way to improve your skills. I also would add to this right advices to do not hurry. If you have a good idea don't try to force project's steps in order to "ride the wave". A good project may require years for conceptualizing and a few months for developing. Just take your time and forget about others.. if it is a good idea you will succeed!
Bye

[michelinstar]

Hire a team of developers and try to make a simple prototype, than test it on target group (100-500 people) and make conclusion if your idea is really valuable. If it is valuable, you will be able (on that stage) to start ICO or venture partnership... In fact, 99% of ideas is trash.

What to do when you have a great idea and nothing else so Make a plan to talk to people interested on that that time they give you prayer and remember you in their life.

[Bonakid]

Be creative to make your idea become worth it.If you keep your idea theres nothing happen try to research of what business you will do ,study and learn some skills ,analyzing and knowing the advantages and disadvantages to make a good project and be successful in the future.

A new exchange is about to be online on 5 march 2018 , with demo working right now. It's bitpaction.com .
Maybe you can take a look on their site and program. Looks very promising in my opinion.
All this started from the idea of a special crypto exchange.

[podpaymentcoin]

Not 100% but you can use snail mail to post a letter via registered post https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poor_man's_copyright to give your idea some protection/proof. But as others have said ideas are free; execution is key. Goodluck.

First of all I would like to say greetings to you engineer, have a good day always and congratulations.

This is my suggestions keep your mouth shut. Be quiet by your ideas most specially if it is new and realistic that can benefit the world. Be careful by telling people beside you because you don't know who is your enemy. If you have a best friend much better you both must be quiet. After you prepared everything, then let the people know your ideas but don't forget to apply what other said that you need a lawyer. This is part of your security and the future of your project in industry. Good luck and always remind yourself that let the world be feed by the outcome of your idea in the perfect time.

[Ramulen]

Get friends with the skills you need.
For example, I am a dev, but I got absolutely no time and not the energy to build up something like a coin beside my family life.
So many people have good ideas, but not the "environment" to make something out of it.

Hi guys, I hope this is not a cyclic topic!

So, I've really a great idea and concept that could work in the real world with the use of cryptocurrencies but I'm a civil engineer and, despite my passion for this world, I don't know how to move forward.
My main concern is about the ownership of my idea, because a moment after telling it's not mine anymore.
Do you have some suggestions?

jes multiple,

but a great idea is not enough nowadays executing them is more important

maybe you shouldnt start a new cryptoproject but just join one that is similar

you are a civil engineer, i am developing an infrastructure token maybe its something similar with i or others build

dont tell anyone and learn to code

good luck

ehehe yea, but where to begin? I think I need years of studies and this is a really fast world.

you have to transform your mind for this, and change the way you think about the world there is no other way

regards

[CodeCoinICO]

start coding lol. at least gather a team and try to do a demo or something like that! Good luck!

[ogini]

If you don,t tell anyone your ideas in business how do you tend to achieve your goals.It seems your only interested in the fund that is to be made in the business not your ideas in business,i will advice you not to tell anyone hold your ideas until the day you leave this plant earth.
