This Weeks Twittrepreneur Highlights

Posted on November 20th, 2009 by tim bursch. Filed under entrepreneur, ideas, social media.


Hope your week went well! Mine flew by and now it’s almost Thanksgiving in the US.

Yesterday Jason Markow and I gathered with others on Twitter to talk about moving our ideas forward. We like to call ourselves Twittrepreneurs. It was a good conversation about going from an idea to a project, collaboration, putting your ideas out there, and finding a brain trust or mastermind (more on that next week for sure).
If you could not join us, here are some highlights:

Jason started us out:

jmarkow: Let the chat begin! First Question to entrepreneurs: When does an “idea” turn into a “project”?

Had some great thoughts about committing resources (time, money, passion)

jprisant: Answer: When you actually do something with it and ideally commit resources / work to it.

sambrightstar: @jmarkow I think time is a resource that counts here, definitely.

The conversation turned to sharing ideas as a way to take action.

We agreed that sharing an idea, usually with some trusted people, helps clarify and refine.

Good points and resources shared:

sambrightstar: @jprisant exactly - passion + commitment, so no-one else is likely to commit so much energy 2 my ideas if they steal them

UpbeatNow: . @timbursch Tim, please take a look on this blog post I wrote long ago about stealing ideas http://bit.ly/3HCkCx

ryancarlson09: @UpbeatNow You’re right on…ultimately many can have the idea(s) and it comes down to who can execute.

We wrapped up the chat wondering about a Digital Mastermind or Brain-trust and how entrepreneurs can help each other more using Twitter or another medium. We will be talking more about this next time. Be sure to join us. Share your questions, ideas, feedback.
