WHEN IDEA BECOMES THE PROBLEM

Hello, i'm sure by now you all know that my favourite day of the week is monday, my apologies to all those who dread mondays, maybe you need a change of job... #justthinkingaloud.

A Few days ago,  a friend i hadn't seen in years suddenly called me that he was in lagos, and at the Ikeja city mall. wow, that's so close to me, stay put i'll be with you in about 2 hours was my response. so after a beautiful evening service i decided to stop by the city mall to see him.

i tried to pre-play how i would react when i saw him, would i hug him, or would i shake him or would i slap him (that kind of where the heck have you been slap) as i walked to the entrance of the mall, God bless a friend who dropped me there in her car after service. you can imagine the shock i got when i saw my friend standing in front of the mall than none other than a 'senior friend'. Ejiro. it was a pleasant one though as i broke into a grin and hugged them both(Psymon, thank God Ejiro saved you from the slap as that was most likely the option i would have gone for)

well one thing led to another and as is chararistic of having senior friends around, they are always concerned about how well you are doing? your progress in life etc. and as the conversation went on he made a statement that took me a week to process. 'the problem with you young guys is too many ideas'

Truthfully, nowadays we see a lot of young people with many brilliant ideas but no staying power. i know we have heard over time that ideas rule the world. however your ability to turn an idea into a profitable business requires staying power, committment and strategic thinking.

Most times when we get a fantastic idea and we run with it, at the slightest sign of trouble we jump ship because we have another idea we can readily explore, even worse is when we try to combine several ideas at once, eventually they all suffer.
one battle every intelligent person has to fight is known as the

so Ladies and Gentlemen, we have to learn to sift through those multiple ideas, pick one and stick to it till it blossoms into realization. then if you like you can pick another one and grow it again, but trying to implement too many ideas at once might not be the best idea.

Have a fabulous monday
