You have a great idea. You’re convinced it’s the right thing to do. You’re ready to fire the laser.

Pause. Check again.

Keep an open mind.

Be ready to let go of your views.

Sometimes your idea is not such a good idea.

The only way you save yourself money, energy and angst, is to carefully consider it.

If you follow these steps and you still feel its a good idea, fire the laser.

If not, don’t.
