Giving or Getting Advice: Make Sure It Is OK First

If you want to help another entrepreneur, make sure it is OK to do so.  Don’t give ideas or advice that is not yours to give.

If you work for a company, there is a good chance that your company either owns that idea – or worse – thinks they own the idea.

Make sure you are clear to help someone, or you may be hurting the people you are actually trying to help.

A lot of people rely on the fact that they supposedly own their ideas when they work on a project on their own time and with their own resources.  But it doesn’t really matter what ideas YOU think you own, it matters what your COMPANY thinks it owns.
