50 Dumb Questions

Posted on 02 August 2010 by Nick Chmura

(And yes there are dumb questions)

Being a friend of mine must be tough because I am super busy, and my brain is 10 times busier. I’m always bouncing in and out of stuff getting places late, leaving early, forgetting to get back to people etc. But it’s hard when your brain runs like a cheetah after 50 red bulls.

What does an overactive brain bring?

  • Over-analyzing
  • Loss of sleep
  • Diarrhea of the mouth
  • Forgetfulness
  • Ideas?

I think I could churn out 50 entrepreneurial ideas a day. 50! I used to have all these ideas and I kept them to myself. Then I started to write them down and keep them to myself, and let them evolve into silly ideas. I’d come back to the list the next day and cross two off, say this one sucks, that ones impossible, and that ones worse than Barney.  NEGATIVE! NEGATIVE! NEGATIVE! I was pissing potential away everyday, like I’d just finished 10 beers of it.

So what did I do?

I grew balls, and one day I started to tell friends about my ideas. I didn’t want to, but I had to. Some days I literally asked 50 people what they thought of an idea. I thought I’d lose friends or people would think I am crazy. But I kept asking anyways. When our Mom’s told us “Honey there is no such thing as a dumb question,” they were lying.  There are tons of dumb questions, you just have to have the balls to say them and see…

Would a beer with 8 grams of protein be a hit?

Would you buy a half cat half dog mix?

What do you think of teleportation? Will it ever exist?

50 dumb questions like these and you know what happened? People told me No that wouldn’t work for 49 of my ideas. 98% of all my ideas were bombs. But what does that mean my math majors???

2% were gems!!!

And people didn’t think I was (too) crazy. And surprisingly enough they liked my ideas.

“Yo Nick, What do you have for us today dude?”

It was like I had a bag of seeds and I kept them all in their packaging expecting them to grow in there. But instead they all dried out and died. Take your ideas out and plant them. See what happens. SHARE YOUR IDEAS. GROW SOME BALLS!!!!!
