Dream Big. Act Bigger.
Imagine an artist, dreaming big and painting little.
He's all potential, burdened by problems, and always armed with an excuse. Sounds familiar?
Sure, people are intrigued. They’ve heard great things about him…but would they pay for his potential?
No.
The world doesn't hug dreams.
It doesn’t pay for aspirations.
It yearns for the real, the concrete, the achieved.
It might sound harsh, but it's reality.
You have a billion-dollar idea? Fantastic. But remember, an idea alone isn't enough.
Execution is the name of the game.
Imagine this. Thomas Edison, with the idea for a light bulb, never getting around to create the prototype. Imagine, J.K. Rowling, dreaming of Harry Potter's world, but never putting pen to paper.
Brilliant ideas. But without execution? Just dreams.
Let's break it down.
No one truly cares about:
• Your potential
• Your problems
• Your excuses
They're drawn to tangible outcomes and the inherent value.
Netflix, remember their beginning? They were the new kid on the block, a tiny DVD rental service.
Potential? Through the roof. Problems? A bunch. Excuses? Plenty.
Did they camp there? No.
They changed gears, challenged norms, delivered actual results, and real value.
Today, Netflix isn't just a company. It's a lifestyle. We don't simply watch shows.
We Netflix and chill.
So, what about you?
Are you a budding business wrestling with problems, hinged on potential, and fed on excuses?
Or are you a value-creating champion, knocking down hurdles, sweeping away excuses, and birthing value?
Consider this nugget from Warren Buffett, "Price is what you pay. Value is what you get."
If your price tag reads 'potential' and 'problems', there's not much to gain.
If your value offering spells 'results' and 'solutions', the sky's the limit.
A quote by Swami Vivekananda encapsulates this thought. "Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success."
Remember our artist?
He's still there, full of potential, facing problems. But now, he's showcasing results, crafting value.
He's no longer selling dreams. He's not peddling problems. He's not delivering excuses.
He's gifting results.
And that's the art people queue to buy.
So, stow away your potential, face your problems, dismiss your excuses.
Dream big, yes. But act bigger. Because the world doesn't pay for dreams, it pays for dreams turned reality.
