The link above will take you to a terrific discussion by Frans Johansson about the executing great ideas. His biggest discovery is that people who execute great ideas do two things.
- They create tons of ideas more than you can possibly believe. EX. Picasso created 20,000 pieces of art in his lifetime
- Push through your idea even when everyone believes your crazy.
No. 2 is probably my biggest flaw. I have tons of ideas that sit in creative limbo cast they by the evil entities Time and Responsibility. The most fundamental idea I’ve learned this year is that if you want to do something you’ve find time to do it. If there’s time to watch a movie, go to work or hang out with your friends, there’s time to work on that project you want complete.
One of my favorite quotes is from Muhammad Ali “If you want to see your dreams come true, you have to wake up first.”
