While many may cry foul, i firmly believe that ideas are overrated.
Granted, you can’t build a business on a stupid idea. What i meant is this – often, people get hung up on dreaming up the next big idea and asking questions like “Will this work?” without doing the one thing that matter: Execution.
Ideas that are not acted upon are just, well, ideas. Without action no ideas will come to fruition. Make that call, write that code, set-up some meetings – sometimes you’ll be surprise by how tiny actions and small initiatives can go a long, long way. All it takes is just one phone call/email/lunch/coffee to meet that one potential partner/client/mentor/investor. More than often you’ll be surprise how willing people are to share their thoughts and experiences (of course, humility helps).
Stop dreaming about tomorrow. Start acting today.
