Racing through your mind, raw ideas create excitement for your envisioned product, enthusiasm for your new venture and fantasies of success and riches. These raw ideas are a symptom of ambiguity. They are like balloons, inflated by a child, released to spin around the room in a burst of energy that is quickly spent.
