When you have ideas that you know are good, you don't need outside approval.
When we look for outside approval, we start to doubt ourselves. We start to value other people's opinion even when they're wrong.
Here's the truth: Art and creativity are, by definition, unique. Not everyone wants unique. Not everyone can grasp "new."
If you have an idea for a new product, a really cool store front, a fancy new logo for your business or a more efficient way to get things done around the house, don't wait for someone else to approve it. Don't wait for someone else to discourage you into believing that your idea isn't fantastic. Instead, get started before they have time to stop you!
