Have you been bothered or hurt by someone has stolen your business idea? In this episode, I address this topic and invite you to think of it differently... for your benefit. If you think your design or idea is unique, then you're kidding yourself. Now obviously there are certain situations when trademarks, brands, logos, etc are stolen that are legally not right ... but beyond that, our ideas are repurposed old ideas. We get inspiration from all that is around us. As Picasso said, "Art is theft". That all may sound a little harsh, but I explain why the "that idea was mine" way of thinking really hurts the creative and your business, rather than helps.  Turn your CRAFT into a CAREER!
