Making Ideas Happen

Summary

Most people spend too much time trying to generate amazing ideas and they’d likely be better served by homing their skill of making ideas happen. Making ideas happen = ideas + organization + communal forces + leadership capability.

The Rabbit Hole is written by Blas Moros. To support, sign up for the newsletter, become a patron, and/or join The Latticework. Original Design by Thilo Konzok.

Key Takeaways

  1. Community and collaboration fuel small sparks to help refine and remix ideas. It also allows you to more quickly find flaws in your logic and more quickly improve. Doing this iteration with a trusted team will get you farther than trying to do everything yourself.
  2. Organization and execution are key. Without them, it’s just an idea and the world needs more execution and less good ideas that aren’t acted upon.
  3. Just keep shipping and iterating.
  4. Keep a schedule and hold yourself accountable.
  5. Structure your environment to allow for creativity and concentration.
  6. The art of leadership is making others feel like your idea is their idea.

What I got out of it

  1. Ideas are a dime a dozen so if you don’t know how to organize yourself and your team, inspire others, and execute, your idea (no matter how brilliant), won’t see the light of day.
