Everywhere you turn, there seems to be someone who is blocking you from making progress on your idea. These [innovation antibodies](https://www.philmckinney.com/fighting-the-corporate-antibodies/) seems to have one more reason as to why your idea won't work.

In this weeks [Killer Innovations](https://killerinnovations.com/?ref=philmckinney.com) Show, we are answering a listener question on how to deal with these innovation antibodies. Here are the 8 ways I deal with anti-bodies so that I can move forward.

1. **Background**: Know your area and your idea cold.
2. **Preparation**: Know as much as you can about the antibody.
3. **FAQ** (Frequently Asked Questions): Prepare a set of frequently asked questions and know the answers cold.
4. **Craft your story**: It's not about the facts (or logic) but in telling the story in a personal way for the anti-body.
5. **Practice**: Know your idea, FAQ and story. Do NOT memorize …
6. **Subvert**: Get the antibody to endorse your idea by getting them to contribute (Dirty coffee cup approach)
7. **Influencers**: Identify who has influence on the anti-body and get the influences on your side of the idea.
8. **Ask for forgiveness**: Just do it -- and then ask for forgiveness

Bonus Question: *Should you “go around” the person and take it to their boss?* (Hint: NO!)
