672. Everyone Has a Million-Dollar Idea—...

Jacqueline Snyder
About this episode

Welcome back, Product Bosses! Have you ever had a million-dollar idea but never acted on it? You’re not alone. In this episode, I dive into why so many brilliant ideas never make it past the “what if” stage and how fear, self-doubt, and waiting for the perfect moment keep entrepreneurs stuck. But here’s the truth—success comes from action, not overthinking. If you’ve been sitting on an idea, wondering if now is the right time, this episode will give you the push you need to get started.

We talk about the mindset shifts that separate those who bring their ideas to life from those who let them fade away. Instead of letting fear hold you back, what if you reframed it as curiosity? What if you explored what’s possible instead of focusing on what could go wrong? I also break down why people buy—hint: it’s not just about what a product does but how it makes them feel. Understanding this will help you position your product in a way that attracts the right customers and turns your idea into a profitable business.

If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect” moment, this is your sign to stop waiting and start doing. The world needs your ideas, and success is built one step at a time. Tune in to hear how you can take the first step today toward making your idea a reality!
