How Many Green Lights do you Need to Go?
People will tell you, ‘oh you need a solid plan, you need to get the framework.’
Hello, how do you know the framework that worked for other persons will work you?
How do you strategize on when to post when you do not yet have readers?
How do you know what your life will be 6 months down the line? will you still be alive?
The Most Important Thing is to Have a Vision
Once you have your vision, start. Get working.
Your vision may not change but plans and frameworks will always change.
You can adapt your workings to suit you, to suit the place and time and season.
But First, Get working.
Act on your ideas quick.
Execute it the way you know.
Fail fast, fall fast.
Get up, execute again.
Streamline until you get a system that works.
A system that works so well, others begin to adapt it for their work.
You Learn in the Doing
In doing you get to find out what it takes to establish your vision firmly.
You get to see the ideas that were wrong, you learn whom you need to collaborate with, you see who understands your vision and who could be a part of you team. You find out where the support could come from, who you can profit from your endeavor.
If you don’t start, all your vision is, is a day dream.
You know what they say about daydreams? They are useless.
I heard a lady criticize an author’s work the other day, saying she could do much better
All I thought to myself then was, “but this author has a book, while you don’t, and with time they could revise it and make it more valuable.”
That’s why many books have 1st edition, 2rd edition, 12th edition.
The important thing is, there was a first edition, no matter how bad it was.
They couldn’t have gotten to the first edition if they waited until everything was perfect.
That first edition became a frame for improving upon subsequent ones.
How Many Green Lights Do You Need to Go?
I woke up this morning, with a voice asking me; ‘How many green lights do you need to go?’
You know what happens when you don’t follow a green light? You disrupt traffic, you hold up others who were following you behind, you distract others in other lanes.
You disrupt the flow of vehicles on that road. It affects so many people in ways you do not know.
There’s a work meant for you to do in this world and only you can deliver it your way.
What’s your vision? Have you written it down?
The light is green for you. Start today!
