This is an exciting time to be a human being. Many previously unimaginable possibilities have been opened up by technological advancements in the last few years. We all crave new ideas, new ways of doing things, and new ways of improving ourselves. The world’s most valuable resources are ideas, creativity, and knowledge. Every day, there are new apps and services to try out. And so far, it appears that each one has been a success. How difficult is it to come up with a new app? I frequently hear people ask this question.” Think big and come up with a great idea. “It continues: “You contract with a freelance developer.” Let go of it. It’s time to put it up for sale. Then, SPLAT. Enjoy a day at the shore. “But let’s face it, success isn’t easy to come by. Many believe that if they can just come up with a good idea, they can accomplish anything they desire. Then there’s the fact that it’s not just the two of them chatting. We believe that we are capable of anything we put our minds to. “You know, Mark Zuckerberg started Facebook from his dorm room, right?” we ask. “And now he is a billionaire.”
“How about Evan Spiegel, the CEO of Snapchat?” At the age of 24, he became a billionaire. No big deal, right? Not every big idea is a winner. We have enough people who tell others that they can’t do something. I won’t be one of them. We also have “thinking big,” on the other hand. Thinking big, on the other hand, can come back to haunt you. Having the belief that you can change the world before you’ve worked yourself into a position to do so is delusional. Often, we set out to accomplish great things that are completely original. A desire to be the first person in a certain situation. “I want to be the youngest person to accomplish Y,” or “I want to accomplish Y. “Our big ideas make us geniuses, don’t they? According to Ryan Holiday in his new book, “Ego Is the Enemy,” it is dangerous to have a big ego: The word “genius” has a dangerous connotation, and it is even more dangerous if we let our own hubris tell us that we are one. No, we don’t become “filmmakers,” “writers,” “investors,” “entrepreneurs,” or “executives” simply because we’ve done one thing well. You are at odds not only with reality but also with the original strategy that brought you to your current level of success. We might think that success in the future is just the natural next step in the story, when in fact it is rooted in hard work, creativity, persistence, and luck,” he says.
Entrepreneurship is defined as having more than one good idea. If you’ve published two articles, are you considered a writer? When you post a YouTube video, do you consider yourself a filmmaker? Thinking like that can lead you to believe that your life has already been successful. Most people’s biggest reward is being able to call themselves “founder,” “owner,” “writer,” or any other title that looks good. Your Twitter or LinkedIn bio, on the other hand, does not represent who you are as a person. Why do we spend so much time and energy on things that no one cares about? Our ego frequently speaks for us. There is no doubt in my mind that I’m a big-picture thinker, but I’m also very practical. Because doing and dreaming are not synonymous. Don’t let your big dreams get the better of you by losing focus on the things that really matter.
Begin with Small Steps
We don’t live in a world where everything is equal. Everybody benefits from the fact that we have people who are attempting to change the world. If you’re capable of changing the world, then why not? Changing the world doesn’t require any special abilities. It necessitates dedication and perseverance. In the words of Thomas Edison “It’s all in the details. Hard work is the only thing that counts.”
Successful people don’t just have a grandiose vision. In the end, it’s all about you, and you alone. Working hard is more important than just daydreaming because neither will get you anywhere. Ryan Holiday argues in his book Ego Is the Enemy that when we think big, we put ourselves in jeopardy. He learns from people who have achieved great success, but who didn’t have the foresight to think big before they achieved their success.
According to Ryan Holiday: “If you want to know if a company has what it takes to change the world, ask them that question,” one of the Google co-founders said in a talk a few years ago. That’s fine, except Google didn’t start out that way. While working on their dissertations at Stanford, Larry Page and Sergey Brin met. This isn’t how YouTube got its start. They weren’t trying to reinvent television; they just wanted to share funny videos, so that’s what they did.) In fact, it’s not how the vast majority of real wealth has been created.”
Paul Graham, the entrepreneur who funded Airbnb, Reddit, Dropbox, and many other start-ups, even says: “In order to accomplish monumental feats, it appears that small steps are the way to go. “That being the case, what would be a better approach? I don’t see arrogance in people who are referred to as “successful” in my studies. I see a lot of effort. Doing the work is always more important than having big dreams. Those who advocate a strategy of big dreams, visualisation, and hope are always selling something. This stuff could turn anyone into a multi-billionaire or world leader overnight if it worked. Unfortunately, you can’t rely on your good intentions to build a lasting foundation. According to Henry Ford: “What you’re going to do isn’t enough to build a reputation. “Furthermore, if you don’t put in the work every day, you won’t get any results. Results are more important than words in the long run.
