Last month I shared the very short story of the rabbit and the beaver at the Hoover Dam, and a video I recently watched from Gary Vaynerchuk brought up a similar idea.
If you’ve follow Gary much over the past decade, he has a pretty simple philosophy — give it all away. He shares every idea, every secret, every insight. He knows it’s all out there anyhow, so him sharing it only serves to make him show up in more places. It makes sense.
Taking it further, after sharing a handful of creative ideas in a Q&A session, he said this:
I’m loaded with ideas — it’s about execution.
That’s it. Ideas are out there. You have them. I have them. You can watch YouTube for a million more.
But what are you going to do with them? Your idea for that great book is worth absolutely nothing if you don’t start writing. That company you want to start could be amazing, but you need to take the first step.
If you have an idea, today is the best day to bring it to life.
