So you have an idea. You’ve taken a few small stabs at it but never truly followed through. It’s no surprise—moving from idea to execution can be tough. Yet it’s also where the magic lies. Words don’t matter, only action and results do.
To move from idea to execution, you need to win against a few enemies that stand in the way. Some of which are:
- Complexity
- Perfectionism
- Fear
- Attachment
Defeating these enemies is simple. Luckily.
- Instead of diving into the most sophisticated approach, start with the simplest possible action.
- Instead of letting perfectionism stop you from ever shipping your work, set it aside and embrace incremental improvement.
- Instead of fear being an ambiguous force keeping you in the status quo, work on understanding it so you can conquer it.
- Instead of being attached to a specific outcome, you let the creative flow take over and show you the way.
These aren’t complicated cures; they’re basic, practical steps. If you find yourself stuck between idea and execution, begin by looking here.
