On my way home on Friday evening, I saw a large billboard with Asisat Oshoala’s picture in the background.

The words on it caught my attention:

“Many dream about it. Few work about it.”

I kept thinking about that sentence.

It then reminds me of people who walk around with a thousand ideas in their heads but nothing to show. When you meet them, they have ideas for books to write, businesses to start, relationships to work on, and more.

A beautiful thing about ideas is that they are free. You don’t pay for them, and that’s why you can have a legion of them in your head.

You don’t need permission to imagine a better life. You can sit in your room and build an entire company in your head without spending a naira.

But the moment you decide to turn that idea into reality, the rules change. Now you have to work. And only a few do.

To execute is hard. It’s uncomfortable. Many can’t survive under the pressure.

And there is another set of people who hide under the shadow of am planning. This is what I have to tell you: “A faulty idea with the right work approach is far greater than a perfect idea with no work to it.”

Briam Tracy will say, “The hardest part of a thing is to start.”

Many dream about it. Few work about it.

Be one of the few.
