“Low Minds Discuss People. Average Minds discuss Events. Great Minds discuss Ideas!”
- Unknown
Ideas!! They are everywhere. Everyone has some sort of an idea that they wish to bring to life but never really get to it or feel intimidated by the entire process. Some of the greatest ideas were born out of pure spontaneity and others from research and careful planning. For example, as most of us know the idea of Facebook was born as the result of Mark’s ambition to gain more popularity and improve his social life, so to speak. But ideas only count if you act upon them. Sitting on an idea is meaningless. It is all about the execution and putting the wheels in motion. Throughout all of the Interviews that we have conducted with some of the successful entrepreneurs here on Moomkin, there is a common element of these people executing on their idea or a dream and taking it to the next level. Having spent quality time interviewing these entrepreneurs and successful business professionals, we have gathered some of the resources that have helped them to bring an idea to life.
So, here is a list of books that can help you to Bring An Idea to Life:
How to Make Millions with Your Ideas by Dan S. Kennedy
This book has personally helped Timothy Ferriss in his quest to success and come up with such masterpiece as “4 Hour Workweek.” The book is packed with resources on how to bring an idea to life and execute upon it. One of the author’s best advice in this book is to rather focus on delivering a quality product instead of the money-making factor of it.
Poke the Box by Seth Godin
Godin delivers a masterpiece packed with elements of nonconformity and executing upon your ideas. His primary claim is that we need to start or poke the project and push it out the door and take initiative, rather than contemplate.
