Focus on the next action and doors will open up.
One mistake I’ve made in the past was to think too highly of my ideas.
I thought that ideas are the most precious.
We need to protect them and keep them a secret.
This could not be further from the truth.
To have an idea is not helpful at all.
You do need to execute to make this idea happen.
So instead of spending more time planning, spend more time doing.
Then something cool happens:
Doors will open up and there will be a way.
All of the sudden, you start building and people come and are the right fit.
Next steps will show up.
All this happens only because you have taken the next step.
This is what business is all about:
Focus on the next step and play the long game.
The long game will give you a direction to know what step will put you in the right direction.
Then you just need to put one foot in front of the other.
This is something that took me a while to understand.
It’s exciting to have an idea —
Yet it’s scary to take the next step.
There is always risk involved.
This is what it means to be an entrepreneur.
You don’t just dream.
You take the next step.
Taking a step and starting to piece the idea together is an exciting shift — when it happens.
