Small business ideas are exciting.
They hold the promise of dreams fulfilled, accomplishment and prosperity.
However, for all the potential that great ideas have, they will amount to nothing without action.
When you get a great business idea, do you take action or do you plan and plan and wait? You have probably heard the famous Franklin Roosevelt quote, "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
" The meaning behind this quote goes far deeper than many understand.
Many would-be small business owners have a great idea to launch a business.
They have found a problem, come up with a solution, identified a market, and yet their product never makes it to the marketplace.
They may have the intelligence, drive and ambition needed, but they simply haven't taken steps necessary to turn the dream idea into a reality.
For many people, the root cause of this inactivity and hesitation is fear.
Does that scenario describe you in any way? Do you suffer from fear of failure, fear of success, fear of the unknown? Launching out to do something you have never done before, is likely to make you uncertain and apprehensive, or to fear the unknown.
The only solution is to swing ahead on the excitement and energy you get when you imagine and calculate that you idea will succeed.
When you focus on the uncertainty and the possible stumbling blocks, your subconscious mind reacts with inactivity and procrastination.
On the other hand, focus on the successful outcome and your subconscious mind will gain energy, drive and the impetus to move ahead.
A great dream without action is not as great as a mediocre dream accompanied by massive action.
The best combination is to "dream big" and take action to fulfill it.
