Beyond Good Intentions: The Flaw in Seeking Approval from Loved Ones
Understanding the Limitations of Friends and Family in Validating Ideas
I just came across a piece that really made me think twice about something we all do – asking friends and family what they think about our latest big idea.
It's a refreshing take on why this might not always be the best move, especially if you're cooking up something new or thinking about jumping into a new venture.
Here's the deal: when we ask our inner circle for their opinions, we might not always get the straight-up truth. People close to us don't always want to burst our bubble, so they might hold back on the real talk. This means we might miss out on hearing some critical, honest feedback – the kind that can actually help us refine our ideas and avoid pitfalls.
This article dives into why that happens and what it means for anyone trying to bring a new idea to life.
It's a pretty eye-opening read and could change how you think about getting feedback on your next big thing.
