I have an idea! Awesome. Send me an email. 

Being a web developer and a technical advisor, I hear these words a lot and I always respond the same way. Send me an email. Everyone has an idea and we all know that. The simple act of writing a quick short email is a difference maker. Maybe at most 5% of the people will follow up with an email. And all of them end up growing their idea into something more.

It is so easy to get caught up in all the possibilities of your future business. How it will be promoted on all the tech blogs, the 30,000 facebook fans you will have, the huge potential of investments... So what's your business again? Do you have dates or milestones? Focus on your idea and business before all of that. Don't get too far ahead with the what if's and build something substantial. Something of quality. Something that solves a problem. The rest will come.
