Making Ideas Happen - How To Get Traction

It can be tough to get traction when you want your business to grow. In this video, I talk about the importance of adjusting your mindset when you’re invested in making ideas happen and moving ahead.

The early days of your business are exciting – they’re filled with entrepreneurial spirit, the creative juices are flowing, and everyone seems to embrace a turn-on-a-dime mentality.

But all that great brainstorming can amount to nothing unless your business works to implement its ideas. To increase business, it’s necessary to turn your abstract concepts into concrete products or services that you can then offer to the marketplace.

How do you get traction to implement your ideas instead of letting them languish? Put systems and structures into place. Establish a set of procedures and best practices that can guide you in getting things done. Spend some time and energy on action rather than thought.

Here’s where the mindset of your entrepreneurial business leaders comes into play. Many creative types feel stifled by the routine nature of day-to-day operations. They are more interested in pursuing whims and are afraid to miss out on new notions. They’re less concerned about making ideas happen and might even stand in the way.

The solution is to broaden the mindset of your business to include both creativity and productivity. You can get traction for growth if you divvy up responsibilities -- free up the thinkers to do what they do best, while you trust a dedicated team of go-getters to take ideas and run with them.
