The problem with visions is that being a visionary is even harder than keeping to a diet.

If it's a good vision everyone will think you're crazy, if it's an awesome vision you probably are crazy, if it's an incredible vision you probably won't live long enough to enjoy its coming to fruition.

But always keep in mind that even a vision isn't everything, because a vision without execution is merely hallucination.

Personally I try to have a good mix of both. A vision and then a bunch of ideas around the vision to keep me excited, energetic and up all night. It might not be the most efficient of ways, but it sure helps deal with an internet-reduced attention span.



Perfect post. Absolutely spot on.
