You know when you get a Big Idea for a project that lights you up and derails your to-do list for the day?
It could be a content series or a whole new business concept.
You might even spend a few hours writing down why you’re qualified to do it and who it will help.
But, inevitably, that fervor dies down and you deem the idea a distraction.
After all, you don’t have the time and money to actually execute it, right?
What if I told you: you can use time and money constraints to your advantage and move forward with your Big Idea in a manageable way …
There’s a common misconception that all the time and money in the world will create the business of your dreams.
Even if those factors help you set up the foundations of your business fairly fast, you still have to build your business.
Endless amounts of time and money don’t exempt you from the question we all face: “What’s next?”
I would argue that obstacles between you and the completion of your idea are actually opportunities to approach the project strategically and sustainably.
Finishing a project quickly doesn’t make it more important or more meaningful. Similarly, building your creation little by little doesn’t make your work less important or less meaningful.
The only disappointing scenario is when you never even start.
What’s practical for you right now?
The good news is, you can make progress on a project without spending hours on it each day.
Taking small steps and moving at a slower pace give you more time to experiment, monitor your results, and make improvements.
You might even find that your Big Idea won’t work for you before you invest a good amount of effort into it. Then, you can switch gears and brainstorm similar projects that might prove more fruitful. In other words, you fail faster.
What’s practical for you right now might be … handling your current job responsibilities while dedicating a few hours each week to your Big Idea.
Keeping a Master List and Monthly List is one way to help you stick…
