RE: Making Ideas Happen

in #ideas7 years ago

Knowing your tasks is one thing. Knowing yourself is another. According to Scott Belsky, there are three types of people when it comes to making creative projects a reality:

  1. Dreamers. You know, the guy with hundreds of ideas, but not much results to show for, because he’s so preoccupied with coming up with new, arguably awesome ideas, that he has a hard time seeing one of them through.
  2. Doers. The pragmatic girl from accounting, who always asks about the financials first, because she’s focused on what’s feasible and realistic. While good at finishing projects, she can’t really warm herself to new and exciting ideas.
  3. Incrementalists. The people who can do both when they need to. The thing they struggle with is that they often start too many things at once and end up not finishing many projects or not giving important ones the attention they deserve.
    Which one are you? It’s really not hard to discern. The second I read the definition of an incrementalist, I knew I was one. I have ideas. I execute. But I keep starting more than I can handle and then shutting down some things.
    No matter which one you are, all of these have advantages and disadvantages. The point is that once you know, you can partner up with the people that complement you, because they’re a dreamer to your doer or an incrementalist to your dreamer. Together, you’ll go a lot further than alone!
