Turning Ideas into Actionable Plans
Ideas are all around us, and nothing feels more exciting than coming up with a fantastic idea that you know will absolutely work. The difficult part for most, however, is taking these ideas and turning them into an actionable plan.
Here are 3 tips to help you get started:
1 - You have an idea - fantastic!
Now start writing an action plan to bring your idea into shape.
First write your main idea down and how this idea will work.
Then expand your plan with very small steps that you will need to take.
Having a very detailed action plan to follow makes the achieving process much easier.
2 - Ditch "fear."
So many people have wonderful ideas that never come into fruition because of fear. Fear can really be a dirty word for many of us. It can stop us from following our dreams and acting on our ideas. Don’t let fear of failure stop you from making your ideas a success.
Remind yourself that in the big scheme of things you really don’t have a lot to lose. What is the worst that could happen? Don’t worry about the fear of what people will say because people may always have something to say.
Take pride in the fact that you have the strength to follow through on your dreams. The reality is you get bonus points for even trying in the first place, so you really can’t go wrong.
3 - Take small steps.
There is nothing more frightening than looking into all the little niggling details of a business idea. So much to be done!
This isn’t to say you shouldn’t plan or research your idea, but be careful not to get hung up on all the small details. You can research all the information you need when the time comes. And anything you can’t do, you can hire others to do.
The trick here is to proceed with small steps. Take each part of your business plan and take a few small action steps daily. Don’t get too hung up on the big picture but simply keep moving forwards one step at a time.
Turning ideas into action can be difficult and even scary for some, but the rewards can be immense.
Start slowly and work your way up and you’ll soon be on your way to making your ideas into your dreams.
