Ideas without action: An overview of a successful entrepreneur and a dreamer.

[Juse14]

When you have a dream but you never think about it or follow it up and put it in the form of a plan then it is not a dream but it is just wishful thinking.
And I advise that when you dream, dream as high as possible so that when you fall, you will fall among the sparkling stars. And when you have that dream, keep trying as hard as possible to make it come true. If on the way to achieving this dream you experience difficulties and encounter very serious problems, then you just need to remember that great surfers are not born from small waves. And you need to know that every difficulty you face and every big problem you encounter, whether you realize it or not, is what will lead you to the gate of success.

Many people simply stop at thinking what they want and they fail to pursue it as they know that actually achieving what they want is very difficult, basically people want to become rich but they do not want to take all the steps necessary to become rich, however someone with that mentality will never go far, since we know very well that in order to achieve anything in this life we need to take risks and be willing to waste our time and our savings pursuing a goal we may not reach.

Being wealthy and having financial freedom is what everyone wants but it's not our ultimate goal. Stop fantasizing and expecting too much because it won't do you any good and it won't change your life in the slightest. All you have to do is keep trying your best and keep improving your knowledge, skills and creativity as a form of your first step towards success. So first do a maximum effort, about the results later. Rich is not the main goal, because later if you succeed and have skills in doing business then you will get wealth and financial success.

To achieve all this, never be afraid to take a risk, because sometimes it is not the difficulty that makes us afraid but the fear that makes us difficult to step so that whatever we do becomes full of doubts.

They are afraid on taking risks and even if they are that accepting such risks but they dont really have the capital on starting so.This is why we cant really that making some conclusion in regards about the situation

We are all social creatures, "You have acquaintances and I have acquaintances" & "You have friends and I have friends". Indeed, when we talk about finance, almost everyone who wants to start a business is plagued by this problem, but don't let this problem become a cause of your steps being stalled until you have to decide to bury the big dream deep. Keep trying and take advantage of existing relationships, because I'm sure if you have good intentions, honest and responsible behavior, there will always be people who will lend a hand to help you answer all the problems that exist.

Indeed, there are many factors that cause someone who already has lots of business ideas in their head but is unable to start the business at all. These factors are lack of financial capital and insight, lack of courage to take risks because they are too afraid of failure before even taking the first step. People who are afraid of failure before even taking a step are like soldiers who have lost even before going to war.

That's why there are many people who prefer to be in a safe and comfortable zone. like being a regular employee. But people who have more courage will usually get out of their comfort/safety zone and take on risky challenges. Of course, after making careful planning. So between dreamers and successful people there is actually only a slight difference, namely their courage.

[Fortify]

The world is full of great ideas. Many people have brilliant ideas but only few can bring them to action. This is what really separates a successful entrepreneur from a dreamers. Some can read 100 of self-help books but all they know is the theory aspect of life because they have failed to put all or part of what they have read in action. They keep saying "I should be the first person to have started this business in this community" after seeing people making it from such business. Reasons why people may fail to put their ideas into action:

👉👉Fear of been a failure
Fear is one great factor that can easily kill dreams. Failure shouldn't be an obstacle for you to achieve your dream. Alot of billionaire today has once failed in the history of their life. Check out this my article (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5412780.msg60900070#msg60900070) on Rejection, failure and disappointment, its impact on ones achievement... From this you will see that sometimes one needs to fail in life to grow.

👉👉Failure to embrace risk
To achieve in life, you must learn to embrace risk. Everything in life is risk. Mr Johnson has $2000 and he said to himself. The economy doesn't favour any business and I don't want to lose my money, so let me just keep it in bank . He has forgotten that the bad economy system will also hit the money in his account.

👉👉Laziness and procrastination
Laziness and procastination may work together to kill ones dream. Some aren't too lazy to work on their idea but just that they keep delaying things by proponing the development of their ideas till tomorrow. They always say"I will start it tomorrow" but their tomorrow never ends. Always remember someone may has same idea you have in mind. Being early to enter the market before the person can be an added advantage for you.

👉👉Sharing ideas with Idea Killers
Idea Killers can be anyone. It can be your close friend, family or neighbour. Telling them your ideas may easily kill your dream. They easily give you hundreds of reasons why the idea may not work and this may therefore kill the idea in you.

👉👉Fear of losing their money.
Fear of losses is a great threat to success. This can easily stop you from being able to think clearly about that your good idea. Sometimes you need to lose some money to later make it big with your idea. Never be turn down by your failure. If you lose money to a business, all you need to do is to analyze the reason and the mistakes you made for such to have happened. This should teach you a lesson and not to fall into such mistake next time.

👉👉Holding on past experiences and beliefs
Some people kill their dream through their past experience or experience they got through someone close to them. They said to themselves Mr Charles did thesame business and fail after investing alot of money. Instead of analysising the mistakes Mr Charles had made that had lead to the downfall of his business, they just easily conclude that such idea may also not work for them.

👉👉Lack of self confidence
Some people don't have confidence in themselves. They never believe they can do it alone. Self confidence is highly needed if you want your idea/business to be successful.


CONCLUSION
Alot of people today blame themselves for what they have failed to do some years ago. The idea you failed to develop year ago may be the success story of another person that turn him/her to a rich person. Life is just about risk. Risk that money in your account into your ideas without minding what people will say, put in all your possible best for the idea to become successful and become a successful entrepreneur rather than a dreamer.

I definitely agree with most of what you've written here and seen that the most successful, self made, people apply many of these points to their day to day lives. Having a hustler mentality is often at the core of most entrepreneurial and free thinking people, where they are always on the hunt for reasonable trade offs in the pursuit of profits. Life is one constant game of risk and sometimes you have to step outside your comfort zones in order to gain new experience. People who come up with successful stock market strategies that bring them money, only learned how to do that by putting their own money at risk and even making a bunch of bad trades but they used the knowledge gained to improve afterwards.

There is one thing I know for sure, you won't have a result if you don't try, some people already fail before they try, and some get motivated based on what others around them are doing, and once they see such people failed, they will lose their motivation too.

Leave failure for later, try and see what will happen, just because A failed to achieve something doesn't mean B will end up with the same result, we have mistakes because of progress, if you are too afraid of making mistakes you will never improve in life.

Everything you said is true OP, the only thing standing between failure and success is hope, when everything turn to impossible, that little hope that's left in you can open a door for you.

After all this is said and done, let's not forget that happiness is the key, do not be too carried away by what you want to achieve, you can still feel empty after getting it all, so do not forget to live your lives to the fullest, be happy and spend time with your love ones, time is running out.

👉👉Fear of been a failure

👉👉Failure to embrace risk

This is where most people do really lack on, because of having that kind of behavior then you would really be missing out those good opportunities or chances that in your front on which
it might really be causing for you to make some profits but since you are really that afraid on taking up the risks then you wont really be doing something or sitting idle.
You would really be just making or saying those regrets on the time that you do see that the price had risen up or something that value had increased which leaves you that making those regrets
and keep telling the you should have made out such decision but well its already late.

You could have those unlimited dreams but since you dont make out any actions then it would really be just remaining to be a dream. If you do like to make it come true
then you should act and make those things happen on making such step and not really just make yourself that daydreaming.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

On a normal note, it is very easy to have dreams but difficult to archive them, and there are major factors that contribute to a successful dream or entrepreneur, like you said. I think the first thing is to have the required resources to even start chasing your dreams.

One could have a dream of becoming one of the best doctors in their state and also having the best private hospital in that state, but the person with such a dream might not have at that moment even the money to further their education through the university. Therefore, it could just become a dream all their life until it's no longer a dream that can be archived due to how age has really affected them.

You can even have a dream to become one of the most successful entrepreneurs, a business tycoon both national and international, but you will keep striving to achieve all of that but don't really get to the extent of what your mind is telling you.

[panganib999]

There's a saying that I instilled upon myself every time I face crossroads between taking risks and cutting my profits/losses. "You risk more by not doing anything"

Of course this doesn't apply to everything involving business and whatnot, but it has been a great gauge/motivator for me whenever I feel like I'd pass off an opportunity just cause either I deem myself incapable of it, not cut for it, or whenever I feel like the opportunity has passed already. More often than not the limits we have are self-imposed, and when you let go of these limits in exchange for action that will defy your ceilings, you'd find out just how much capable of doing so much more you would be. It took a lot of missed opportunities and failed attempts for me to get where I am now, and I can't say I've stopped committing these mistakes as it's a normal life process, but the fact that I am committing mistakes is testament itself that I am doing something instead of nothing, and frankly speaking it's much better than lying around waiting for stuff to change for you.

The list @OP shows the traits and ideology of a pessimist person.  In entrepreneurs, there is no room for pessimist people.  Optimistic people are those who dare to challenge the risk, learn from their past experience, and love to prove their idea over the idea killers that their idea is not wrong.  Optimistic people mostly experience success in their endeavors because they take life in a possitive outlook, of course, their actions also consider risk factors but they mitigate them by analyzing situations and planning for the best approach.

For an optimistic entrepreneur, nothing can be a hurdle and every problem has its solution.

but I think optimistic entrepreneur also should know when to be realistic, if thing just doesn't work then it just doesn't work, you don't force your business to work just because youre optimistic while at loss because it will result in even bigger problem that is strangling yourself with debt.
i think businessman should always be realistic with a little flavour of optimistic, basically balance of the two, with being overly pessimistic someone will get nothing done.
because business isn't as easy as many have pictured out to be, its really difficult thing to do so much stress, so much pressure and need to be really effective at doing things since we are constrained with limited capital.

The country where I live has a good old saying ''think positively to receive positivity''

Positivity makes us stronger, but perhaps @poodle63 also needs to look at the problem more simply when we all understand reality and should not do things beyond our ability to achieve target. I know that successful people need to go through different lessons of failure until they learn the lesson.

And IMO, positivity should be understood more through action, such as having a healthy lifestyle in life.

[franky1]

two issues i see when i talk to dreamers

1. they are usually the low income people who are used to not having any money at the end of the month.. the issue with this is they are at the end where they have nothing to lose and have every opportunity to gain. even if they start slow. like dedicate just $10 to buy a product they can sell for $30. then use that $30 to buy 3xproducts. and repeat until self sustainable to take an income whilst still selling

2. dreamers feel to start off they need to start big. meaning if they have no spare income of $thousands they think they cannot start a business/idea. however they are wrong. anyone can start small. you just have to prioritise and plan your way forward. it might be a longer path but its a safer path that can grow with less risk

(...)I know that successful people need to go through different lessons of failure until they learn the lesson.

Yes, those are great thoughts about positive issues here. Actually, I feel like life has countless stories, so there are things that have almost become a habit of forgetting. We think about success, and we need to think about the beginning and the journey with it, positivity will help reorient the process. But as a hypothesis about the lack of conviction in the idea, not being able to get what you want is something that I believe is fair here, we simply don't have the ability yet.

[Kakmakr]

A lot of those things are neutralized when people are pushed into a corner to take action. I have had friends with great ideas, but they were in a job already and they did not want to leave the comfort of that security to take the next step to try out their innovative ideas.

The moment when you lose that job and you are forced to do something else, then people start exploring the unknown. A lot of successful people had to lose their job to start a new innovative business that later became successful. 

Don't wait until life push you to start your own business, go out there and do it..

The journey to success certainly requires good ideas and we have to be able to carry them out because no matter how good the ideas we have without going through any process then these ideas are not useful for us, but I think to be able to realize the ideas we have we have to go through the existing process so that We achieve success from the ideas we have and we also have to be very confident in the ideas we are going to implement, lest when we run them they only run for a short time and we don't produce anything from them. It would be better for us to review first whether the idea we have is suitable to be implemented and if we experience problems in carrying it out we must be able to solve it well.

[Husires]

The fear of failure is not only at the beginning, but in all stages. Whoever fears failure always puts failure before his eyes, and therefore any stage that does not go as desired, he begins to think that it is a failure and that I must stop. Fear of failure is opposed to recklessness and not calculating an alternative plan or investing entirely based on emotions. I see many of those who invest in alternative currencies who do not invest for any reason other than that they believe that their price will exceed Bitcoin one day, and this is more recklessness than fear of failure.

👉👉Laziness and procrastination

👉👉Lack of self confidence

All the points you convey are facts and realities that happen to many people who want to achieve their dreams. But to be honest, the two points above for me are the most difficult points to abandon and remove from my mindset. Because these two points are points that seem trivial but in fact have a very big influence in making all dreams come true. The thing is, I personally have experienced both points simultaneously, and the results had a negative impact on my progress in all areas. But after that I was able to get out of feeling lazy, like procrastinating work and not being confident. You could say that at that time I always asked the people closest to me for advice. Then at that time I knew how to overcome these two obstacles.

So the way to get out of these two obstacles can actually be said to be simple, but if it is to be implemented it is very difficult and requires great seriousness. Because from my personal experience, even though I know how to overcome it, I still have difficulty getting out of the obstacle zone. So the main key to the problems I experienced was Motivation and always pushing myself

Because if I feel lazy and always put off work, I always remember my biggest motivation and I always force myself to do the things I originally wanted to postpone. But even so, as I explained, even though you know the medicine, you can't get instant healing. So basically it takes a long process to be able to implement a new mindset and new habits.

[michellee]

Of all the reasons, the one most experienced by someone is laziness and procrastination, where they will say that I will start tomorrow. But the next day, they didn't start their plans one by one and still said they would start tomorrow. And it happens so continuously that they don't start at all.

But for a prospective successful entrepreneur, they will not postpone it because the more they postpone it, the further away they will be from their dreams. They don't want that to happen and will try their best to make what they dream of come true. They are not afraid of failing to realize their plans because they know that failure and other reasons will not stop them from realizing their dreams.

So it is true that life is about risks and how they can overcome the risks. They must also be strong in facing challenges to make their dreams come true and continue to encourage themselves to remain focused on making their dreams come true.

Idea Killers can be anyone. It can be your close friend, family or neighbour. Telling them your ideas may easily kill your dream. They easily give you hundreds of reasons why the idea may not work and this may therefore kill the idea in you.

I have an experience about this thing. Because In my university life, I have so much new ideas. Some of them are implemented as well. But my some of close friends were killed most of my ideas during that time. They are always saying this can not possible or always makes jokes about that.  End of the day our idea will be gone forever.

Sir, you explained it very simply but very right on target. I love it. And that is what happens or that is the problem that dreamers have. They don't actually trust themselves very well. Which makes them more pessimistic. In fact, to roll a large snowball you have to start by rolling a small snowball. That's what they forgot. I think they should first work on their own self-confidence. Because that's one of the sources of the problem.

Sharing ideas with people who don't see past their nose or who are myopic in reason or have no optimistic tendencies is one way to sure kill an idea or business even after the implementation stages.

Fear is a common factor and it comes in many forms. Fear can cripple ambition and the issue with dreamers is that they expect things to go smoothly till the dream is achieved, without putting into consideration many a time that entertaining the fear of anything or obstacles require courage and the simple will to act in faith.
