Publish or Get Eaten Alive

Larry Ellison once said:

“The competition is stealing the rice from your children’s mouth.”

Brutal.
But true.

That’s not a metaphor.
That’s how you should be thinking about business.

Because while you’re busy being humble and polite,
someone else is publishing your idea —
and taking the credit and the cash.

Why Most Creators Lose

Most creators are too nice to win.
They hold back their best ideas.
They second-guess themselves.
They want to be liked more than they want to lead.

So they stay quiet.
They wait for permission.
They overthink while others move.

And by the time they’re “ready,”
their idea already belongs to someone else.

Business Isn’t a Classroom — It’s a Battleground

The creators you see winning aren’t always better —
they’re just faster to publish.
And they don’t care who they upset in the process.

Because in this game:
speed beats perfection.
Visibility beats silence.

And if you’re not the one claiming your space,
someone else already is.

If you don’t publish your ideas,
someone else will.
And they’ll profit from them —
while you stay nice and broke.

The Move

Stop waiting for perfect.
Stop worrying about who you’ll offend.
Start publishing your ideas before they turn into someone else’s content, course, or book.

Write them.
Package them.
Share them.

That’s how you protect what’s yours
and own the space.

The Truth

Nice people get copied.
Published people get paid.
