Is Your Idea Really Viable?

I met with a group of entrepreneurs the other day. The thing I like about this particular group is its not just average people opening up small mom and pop businesses. This is a group of dreamers. This is a group where there is always someone with a BIG idea. And I always get super excited by some of the ideas I hear. They could have a huge impact on our society.

Yet I’ve run across a ton of people with REALLY big ideas, and several years later, the majority of them are no where to be seen. Why is this?

The key to a great entrepreneur is they are great at dreaming. Ideas flow freely, and they normally face the big problem of sticking with an idea and bringing it to fruition.

It takes the dreamer and the doer to bring something big to market, and make it a viable company.

The dreamer can see how it will look. The doer sets the goals and creates the tasks.

The dreamer tells his ideas to everyone. The doer talks to the people that can make things happen.

The dreamer thinks everything is possible. The doer finds ways to make things possible.

Do you need both? Definitely!

Think of Walt Disney and his brother Roy. Walt was the dreamer. Roy was the doer. Walt Disney would never be what it is today without the dreamer and the doer.

Whether you’re a dreamer of a doer, its important to recognize your skills and strengths. Then go out and get the other half.

Back to the group of entrepreneurs I spoke of. All of the entrepreneur I spoke with are the dreamers. Their ideas are amazing. Yet they were there looking for the doers. I spoke with several on improving their web presence, bringing their products and services to market with the use of a blog.

By hiring another with the expertise they are lacking, they are moving one step closer to realizing their dreams.
