You need to act on your idea NOW


By - Richard - 29th June 2024

You need to act on your idea NOW.

The average human being will have more than 6000 thoughts every day. A minority of these will be new ideas. Sometimes when I have a new idea, I will think it’s amazing. But very quickly I will start to lose the initial enthusiasm and it isn’t long before I think it’s a terrible idea. At this point, if I haven’t acted on my idea, I will probably let it float away and nothing will happen with it. But if I persevere with the idea and develop it further, I might start to believe again that it’s actually quite good.

The point is that you need to act on your idea as soon as you have it. Ideas mean nothing if you don’t act on them.
