ALL YOU NEED TO REALIZE YOUR DREAM IS CREATIVE THINKING

in #motivation7 years ago

 

Happy Sunday and welcome to my blog.


Every thinker knows that ideas are the beginning of all successful  achievements. The question most often ask, however, is, "How can I create ideas that will earn money?"..... Napoleon Hill 

Everyone wants to be successful, but not everyone knows what to do to attain success. It is true that success is a relative term, so you don't need to measure up your work or achievements with another person before you get fulfilled. When you have a dream you want to realize, you should set out a plan on how you want to go about it; i.e, have a road-map. You should have goals you would meet at a set time, when each goal is achieved, you attain fragments of victory until the dream is actualized, then you have been successful.

Basically, most of our dreams need funds before they can be actualized and more often, those funds are not readily available. In such cases, what do you do? Sit back and wait for funds, go begging or borrowing? Well, none of these options is a bad idea if it can get you what you want, but there is a lot more dignified and better way to raise your startup capital. It is called Creative Thinking.

The power of creative thinking cannot be overemphasized. It will help you achieve most of what you want in a shorter time frame and with lesser stress. What if what you want demands a huge amount of money and you don't have  it? All I'll tell you is, relax and think smart. It is a good thing to learn from people who started from zero, yet they attained remarkable heights. This takes us to Mr Biggs... Who is he

Mr Bigs was the most popular Nigerian food and confectioneries chain store as at the late 90's to mid-2000's. A study of how it was started with very little, then rose to fame is an interesting one. The owner of Mr Biggs was a poor man who had big dreams. He knew what he wanted, but there was no money, so he started with what he had. 

Think deep. Do you have time, freedom, energy, beauty, a little cash, or just anything? What do you have right now?

He had the strength and a few cash, so started preparing his food and confectioneries in a very small quantity and would wheel it around town in a show glass. Little by little he began making profits, was able to build his first store, then  created a brand . Mr Biggs became very popular and could be found in every major city in Nigeria. 

Start with what you have

Did you learn anything from this? For his dream to be actualized, he needed at least $200,000 dollars for a start, but he creatively thought about a way to start with something below $500.  Also, notice that he did not start anything new, he only repacked an old idea. 

Have you noticed anything with high demands in your city? You could repackage it, make unique and attractive ; who knows? It might turn out to be your own gold mine.

Another way to get funds for your idea is to have a good business plan. When you come up with an interesting idea and a good business plan, getting investors becomes easier. 

I hope you now understand that the problem is not money. It is not even having good ideas alone. It is the ability to know how to start with what you have. 

My quote for today 

Show me what you have done with what you have, then I'll believe you can do more with what you expect.

Motivating and inspiring. Every success for you. following you.

so you don't need to measure up your work or achievements with another person before you get fulfilled

I see myself agreeing 100% with your line of thoughts on this one. I noticed a lot of beef or envy if you may, for no reason. Even here on steemit, I hear the old tired song of unity. It would be a mirage if people still think their happiness is based on using other's progress or lack of, as a yardstick. I am 100% Nigerian; I have no camp. I try to do my own things my own way, and also not to please everybody as that is an impossible task. The only person I compete with is me. Yeah, I always try to be the best of me, to beat the yesterday's me. Not the next guy, I really do not use the next guy's accomplishment for anything.

People spend their time on things that do not matter, thinking up plots, scheming, when they could use the time to be a better them.

Keep steeming hard and see you in Greensville; where there are no shortage of greens :)

So motivational and inspiring thanks for sharing

Yeah, great, especially change your dream into a plan, without a plan you can dream a long time.
Love yourself, believe in yourself, follow your intuition and your dreams, make plans, set goals.

Thank you.

This is good text... " It is the ability to know how to start with what you have. " ..... I use the same principle in my head as I am doing the pictures and use this platform here. Very good text, and I go and read one more time all this :)

Thanks for reading.

You are welcome :)

All thoughts are no creative until yields expected result or surpass expectations. For every thoughts to be creative require the right resources eg finance. The ability to set the idea into action is what I termed creative.

@bob-elr

Excellent I loved what you wrote. your words are very motivating

Your motivation is really useful for my life

Now I am here again.
Getting motivated over and over again

Motivation is good @ogoowinner

Show me what you have done with what you have, then I'll believe you can do more with what you expect.

This is bomb,when you ask people why they havent made it or achieved that dream,they claim they are waiting for the required fund or contact but as you said,making do with what you have should be the very first move and will drive you to that dream

Great post :)

Love the motivation and the message. On that note, this platform we're on right now is probably a good start for us to use what we have to achieve a long term goal of us down the road.

I like to believe that if you like something and put your time and energy in it is almost impossible to fail. A short definition of success is change, of yourself and your way of seeing things and understanding people.

Everyone start from the bottom and everyone sees a dream and everyone starts their steps too but to reach the destination it takes a extra effort which others can't get upto to be successful enough your patience is tested it brakes you in between and sometime we are left with nothing and if we gave up that time we are of no value its better to keep going ...

I am really motivated, something don't just happen we have to make something happen @ogoowinner. Thumbs up

There are some many hurdles to be surmounted for one to really make it. Firstly is the issue of finance. This very crucial one has tied down a lot of people because getting money is mainly futile. With your write up on creative thinking, all you need is within you, you don't have to look elsewhere or go borrowing. Thank you so much for sharing this.

I can start my day with this amazing piece der

Meeting goals at a set time is important. That's the way I see it also. At that time I only dreamd. Only since I have set myself concrete goals, I have made progress. I have set a number of book pages to write a week. It's a great feeling when you see that you've done something. The result does not have to be perfect. The main thing is that you have taken the first step. :)

Since writing my novel and building a routine, it has become easier for me to think creatively.

At the beginning, I also did not know what my story was going to be and now, many months later, I suddenly have ideas. At that time I would never have thought that.

Exactly, start with the first step. It's hard to move a train, but when it starts, it's not going to stop it. It takes much less power to keep up the pace.

Creativity does it. A creative person can make wealth anywhere, anytime and at his own bidding. That's how powerful. Thank you for sharing
