“Do what you love and the money will follow” Marsha Sinetar
“Follow your bliss” Joseph Campbell
Half -truths are deceiving. A half- truth is an assertion or declaration that on the face of it sounds good and right. However, something is missing. What is missing is the way that the assertion requires a modifier to make it real.
In the two quotes above, what is missing is a plan that you can execute that aligns with the strategy and vision that is what you love or is your bliss.
It may be more accurate to say- follow your bliss while planning a plan and following the plan. Do what you love and develop business skills that ground your inspiration in perspiration.
A vision without a way to take the abstraction of the hope or intention into concrete reality is a dream unfulfilled. There are many stories of wonderful, life affirming ideas and visions that never see the light of day. This is likely due to the lack of skill and knowledge about how a hope becomes real.
Too many leaders with noble aspirations do not know the first thing about the four cornerstones of business acumen:
Taking your vision and turn it into a viable strategic market success.
Developing the tools and skills of collaboration that are required for manifestation.
Building a high functioning team of contributors that maximize the gifts and talents of everyone engaged.
Designing the structures and systems at the onset that support the vision becoming real.
To feel called to do something noble is a great experience, but it is not so great to see it flounder. It is imperative to have the people, processes and plans in place so that the idea can grow and evolve with a foundation underneath it.
Too many intentions without the practical tools and skills evaporate into thin air. In the upcoming blog entries, I will explore further the requisite tools and skills that are part of the cornerstones of any successful noble aspiration becoming real.
