Who should you tell?

One of the greatest challenges of any goal or desire is with whom should you share it with?  You're brimming with the idea, and you just want to tell people. The easy answer seems like everybody. Perhaps you may need to be more careful.
Ask yourself, who outside of yourself will actually support you with time, energy, interest and even investment?  This may be a short list. Who can you ‘absolutely not tell’ because they ego, opinions, energy and actions will contaminate the idea? This may be a much longer list than the first one. Who will merely pay lip service to the idea? Many. Who should you not tell because they don't understand it or might not even care? More than a few.
When sharing your next great idea, be careful on who you want to share the idea with. Share with those who have  proven they will be supportive and see your good for you.
