		<description><![CDATA[This evening I had dinner with a friend who I used to work with. I hadn't intended on telling him about my new "venture", but as much as I tried to withhold it, I ended up spilling the beans and we talked about it for about an hour.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have a tendency to get super amped about every idea that I come up with.  I ultimately go on a rampage telling anyone and everyone about my Big Idea naively thinking that they will be as excited about my idea as I am. I end up burning out, putting the idea on hold, and losing my enthusiasm and the momentum in the process. I end up looking like the boy who cried wolf and my idea goes nowhere.</p>
<p><a href="http://kirkhateswork.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/51afsbcpsfl_ss400_.jpg"><img class="left1col" title="The Boy Who Cried Wolf" src="http://kirkhateswork.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/51afsbcpsfl_ss400_.jpg" alt="Book on Amazon" width="250" height="250" /></a>I had a phone conversation with my old boss last night (we are working on a <a href="http://www.springbrookhomeowners.com/"><span>project</span></a> together) and I <em>almost</em> told him about my idea. But I bit my lip, held my breath and told him only that I would be sending him a website in a few weeks to take a look and give me some feedback. At first I was happy that I contained myself and kept my ideas under wraps, so as not to cry wolf, but in the long run who the hell cares!</p>
<p>The only way you are going to get your ideas out there and accepted by others is to tell people about them.  Be so overly excited and enthusiastic about your ideas that it rubs off on everyone you meet&#8230; you have nothing to loose. The worst that can happen is that you fall flat on your face, and you&#8217;re right back where you started with a slightly better set of experience in your quiver.  Best case scenario; you infect someone with your enthusiasm who goes on to tell someone else and they tell someone who tells someone and they&#8230;</p>
<p>So go out there and cry wolf!  Sell your idea to anyone who listens and take that first step to becoming financially and personally free.</p>
