Everyone who talks about money talks about it like they are sitting on the next Ipod of an idea. Everyone talks about what they are going to be like you are listening to the next Jimmy Iovine. Everyone talks about what they hope to happen. Everyone talks about Money like all you have to do is talk it into being. Everyone talks talks talks and since we like to day dream when they speak we get caught up in the mist of their midst. Dreams aren’t even the start of really making money they are just the potential.
Everybody and their mama has a dream but only those who put their hands in the dirt actually make it a reality. Unless you actually see someone start to sketch it out and build a prototype of it then they are no different than the average cat you heard 2 years ago on the street with a wild hustle. Unless you see that they took the idea to the flea market to see if they could move some units then they are no different than your boy who thought he could rap back in High School. Unless you see them setting up consignment deals at the barbershop, beauty salons or even you neighborhood liquor store then you are looking at the same dumbass idea that your nephew said that everyone thought was cute. Unless you see them putting advertising out on all the telephone polls, college campuses, handing out flyers on the strip or putting the hustle on their car then you are looking at the beginning of your grandmas secret recipe.
Dreams aren’t even worth talking about until you are committed to bring it into being. Millions of people sit on great ideas and the reason why they never turn into anything is because they are happy with having it instead of happy from doing it. Dreams are often forgotten as soon as one wakes up and they get shocked into realizing what they have to do. If you cross a dreamer and it’s a great idea you should think about buying the idea from them but that’s only if you are going to make it a reality. Dreams are the things that BS are made of and I know you think I’m full of BS myself for even saying it. Only your mother is happy that you have Big Dreams! But, everyone dreams only a few people actually do so why would I believe the Dreamer and why should you claim to be a Dreamer!
Endeth: Big Dreams are just that Dreams! Until you wake up and start climbing that mountain they will remain Big Dreams. Nothing else counts in this game but making it happen, the Big Dream is the funny story behind it!

This all goes back to fear, for that is what keeps people from bringing their dreams into reality.
How in the world can someone be afraid to succeed?! They’ve been conditioned into believing that winning only happens to the best of the best and could never trickle down to their world. And then they get left behind. As my old man use to say, the only thing coming to dreamers is sleep. Grind like you can do nothing but win and you can’t do anything but win.
I talked about this in my post Ideas are Useless. One of my New Years Resolutions was to immediately write down and act on a new idea. If nothing has manifested within a week, it wasnt a good idea! I dont think this idea message can be repeated often enough: with most people being stuck in the idea phase, there needs to be more emphasis on generating results!
@Mike B – It’s scary especially since most people have no formal training on business. I understand as I had to just jump and tell myself to deal with it. I panicked all the way for about 1 year. I lost about 20 pounds too but I survived so I can understand why fear paralyzes.
@CZA – I like that saying your pops said. I am on the same angle. It’s good to plan and even fantasize but c’mon sooner or later we got to produce.
@AP – Well for those who can’t see the one who can’t see but describes sight so vividly usually is popular. Right now we got some great story tellers and their dreams are so good that you smell the ocean air off of their imaginary yacht.
