When you have your "big" idea of the next "big" thing, should you try to create your idea yourself-

Or should you try to license your idea to a company that can get the product to the market?

Why or why not?


What if the person with the idea is trying to learn the business and create a new business at the same time?

Does that sway you in how you feel is the best way to proceed?

Why or why not?


Thanks for your help! :)
