"The problem with great ideas is that they are usually half-baked."
- unknown
What was your last GREAT idea? How well did you EXECUTE it after you had it? Sorry to pull the wind from your sails…
The CHALLENGE we face with our unlimited creativity is that we have LIMITED capability to execute. We often have all the ideas and none of the process, systems or resources. We fail to ACT purely on the fact that we don't even know where to start.
Alas, there is hope! By taking notations on all your GREAT ideas you are able to eliminate the ones that are less feasible, have multiple barriers to entry or just are not that good after all. You know all the things that PASSION for something usually overcomes in an afternoon.
2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
If you are not WILLING to make the sacrifices to get a project off the ground – pain, time, finances, etc – then you better make sure that you idea is very well structured for execution.
When you are seeking to ENACT a new idea, you must make sure that you are willing to FINISH if you are considering a start. Understand the time required to execute, the finances, etc.
The saddest thing in the world is a BRILLIANT idea that does not have someone that loves it enough to make it happen! Don't abuse your ideas. Either set them on the shelf for later (much later) or GET TO IT!
Stop half-assing your ideas into oblivion!
Cheers,
Zach
