A great idea is still only an idea


For the next week, count the number of 'great ideas' others share with you.  You will hear about how to improve a process, add value to something in place, a slight change that would be better for many or how this latest and greatest brainstorm is a can't miss idea.  Also, monitor yourself and see how many times you think of others pieces of brilliant wisdom that would benefit all.  In 30 days, watch and see how many of these ideas are still ideas.
A great idea is still only an idea if no one takes action. Rare is the person or persons who feel so strongly about an idea that they change their behaviors into actions to make it happen.  Even less common is someone who takes the time to write down all the details of their thought and vision.  Next time you wonder why your next billion dollar idea hasn't come to pass, go back and review your notes and your action plans. If you didn't write anything down, your results speak for themselves.
