What are you most cautious of?

Two important fables come to mind: The Emperors New Clothes, and The Golden Goose. I've had people listen to ideas I have and tell me what a genius I am. You'll find no shortage of people willing to take a share of your idea without risking anything... but the second they are forced to put skin in the game they disappear. You'll also find no shortage of people willing to help you spend your gold or try to kill that golden goose to get all the eggs out - and they'll probably blame you when it is dead.
