Dreams Are Overrated

August 19th, 2009

Lots of people have dreams: launching a killer product that takes the world by storm, working from the comfort of your own home, making $1,000,000, creating an organization that changes thousands of lives, or even the simple dream of doing something you love each day. Dreams inspire and motivate us. However, dreams in and of themselves don’t change anyone or anything. It’s the implementation of those dreams that really matters.

Many dream of having 20,000 twitter followers but only a handful post interesting links, create good content, and engage conversation like crazy so that one day they can.

Lots of folks dream of creating a million dollar company but very few are willing to become a person that has the capacity to run one.

Plenty of people dream of having a blog read by thousands each day however only a handful get up each morning and write a post.

Anyone can dream of starting a non-profit but only a minuscule number ever fill out the paper work to get the process started.

The good news for you is that you’re not most people, which gives you a massive head start. if you’re willing to get up a little earlier, stay up a wee bit later, if you’re willing to pour blood, sweat, and tears into your dreams, then someday they’ll be your reality.

A true dreamer isn’t someone who has them, it’s someone who respects them enough to take action.
