Now What?

Ideas come cheap, many a times – free!

To trivialize an idea  – just add “so what?” at the end of every idea.

To take an action – just add “now what?” at the end!

Developing an obsession to action is the key to conversion of great ideas into reality.

Met a guy with over 25 yrs in semiconductor industry – busy filing patents almost every other month. Asked him how come he is able to maintain the pace and renewed interest every time he comes with an idea?

He said – “My job is to let the world know how good an expert I am, in my field. Only authentic means I have found is patenting my idea!”

So True!

It is our job to let others know – how good we are! Mostly our actions and associated results stand in our support in this respect.

– “Now, What?” find and act – relentlessly!
