Motivation matters!

"We are told that talent creates its own opportunities. But it sometimes seems that intense desire creates not only its own opportunities, but its own talents."

Prospective business founders often worry about protecting their inventions.  They fear that someone will steal their idea and beat them to the payoff.  I do my best to assure them that they are much safer than they suppose.

That something can be done does not mean that it should be done.  And it most certainly does not assure that it will be done.  I think it is safe to assert that people attempt difficult actions only under the most compelling circumstances.  And starting a business qualifies as a difficult action.  That's just plain true.  You can look it up.

My experience told me long ago (Yes, I'm getting on in years.) that most people lack the MOXIE to take action even on their own greatest ideas.  So, by logical extension, I never fear that someone might pilfer my creative thoughts and act on them. 

Ideas do not automatically transform themselves into financial success.  What really matters is the motivation that fuels the MOXIE that delivers the energy and persistence required to turn ideas into actions that ultimately create value for a client.  (Wow, that's a long sentence.  I'll get some heat for that from Mr. Clarity.)

And, never forget, even with lots of MOXIE, you still have to address a real Market with some powerful Magic and the wisdom of any number of solid Mentors.

Yes, first the motiv should come from within, then encouragement and learning from others

100% agree. To be a success person, we have to action, action and action, not just dreaming.
