Being Proactive

Coming up with ideas is probably considered a skill that can get you places, but I encounter many people with many ideas...great ones! Unfortunately, many great ideas don't get done. I personally have a list of great ideas written down in my files. 99% will never get done. 

People that know me, know that I'm not idle. So what's the reason that ideas don't ever make it out of the box. One reason is a set of problems that plague ideas. Not enough time, money, resources, and someone to oversee the project to completion. 

My recommendation is to always come up with ideas and when the time is right act on them. Another way of getting ideas to action is to prioritize the steps to get the idea moving. Be proactive and take one of those ideas off of the shelf and start acting on them.

Hopefully you'll have a long enough life to see a few of them completed.
