Telling an entrepreneur to stop having ideas is like telling John Mayer to stop tweeting ridiculous things about his girlfriend du jour[or insert other appropriate metaphor]. 1.
Create this right now. In most cases the filter categories and the filter grade will be dependent on where you, as the CEO, want to go. 2. Write down your ideas as you come up with them. Go through every category in your chart and give your idea a grade for each one. 3. Category: Startup Advice. Business Plans.
