Is it better to have Capital or Vision??
December 12, 2009

We are busy these days. Very busy!

In a good way of course, we are nearing the part of the Season where we are gearing up for next year, choosing colors, projecting which direction we want to go, where we have to further develop….

But it’s more than that. With each great idea comes a variety of foundations you must first build in order to have the ideas work. In every company there are people who think, and project a direction; and then there are people that DO it.
I believe they are dependent on each other because many people who can do, simply do not have the vision to create.
Most creative people I know, do not have the follow-thru to see their ideas come to fruition.

In an ideal world, you have a few thinkers and many doers. But in a small company – the more doers, the more money.
I have had some friends who can really rally people to invest in their projects. They are great at selling an idea, and even greater and spending the money which is invested in them. Many times though – money is spent, because the money is there. I have yet to see a big break thru on their part – other than having a large dream and squandering a great investment.

I wonder… if I had every person and necessary equipment at my demand, would I really be able to get any further and faster with this company. Would I finally be able to accomplish ALL of the ideas I have??? Or would it simply be too much, and built on too thin of a foundation to sustain long term?
