What am I supposed to do when I don't have the money for my HUGE ideas and I keep seeing them happen

Agreed. Everyone has ideas. What matters is whether or not you can execute them, and turn that idea into a profitable reality.

That's my biggest issue as well, but I think like everyone else said you should partner up with other people, who you're willing to trust and vice versa. It's a bit risky and takes guts, but doing business in general is risky.

Or just put some money aside every month.

I'm going to give you an inside look at V.C., Angels, etc:

They are very hard to find and please. Without giving up control of your company and following their direction you better have a solid idea that will blow their mind.

If you have anything less than a solid concept/idea you are better "bootstrapping" it ( funding your idea).

While your idea may be great research is going to be a key factor. instead of trying to invent something new, improve on a current solution.

This is a very brief overview as it is much, much, much more difficult then what i have stated above.

I am not saying your idea is bad or cant be done but you better be ready to put everything you have at risk for this. Long hours, neglecting family friends, loved ones, and massive loss of sleep.

Kory,

Mate, in as sincere and genuine as i can possibly say. I feel you man.

Take 5 minutes and go through some of my threads. If you go back to when i first started posting on the WF i was EXACTLY the same as you! Exactly.

BIG ideas..HUGE idease.. GIZA Pyramid style sized IDEAS!

Im a thinker, an ideas man. I always have been and always will be.

And i can tell that you are too. Obviously

In the last.. I dunno, maybe 6 months. My efforts have absolutely 100% worked, are continuing to work, and will eventually see the light down the end of the success tunnel. I guarantee it a million times over!

I was promoted to a managerial role at work (more cash flow), i started my BIG idea (Its almost finished), i'm beginnnig to offer online seo and copywriting service as a freelancer so i can begin my path to quit my job and focus 100% of my time on my BIG ideas, i got my first client, i paid my car off, i bought a new car, we're having a baby, i got offered a partnership in an online business..... bla, bla, bla...

I remember specifically a thread i wrote here about "Youtube, Facebook style sites" and how warriors can do the same. I never understood why most of the people who replied where not of the same mind set. Now i am. Its because not everyone thinks big, we are all unique. But i do think BIG.

Now my big idea and smaller ideas are manifesting just like i planned, wished and hoped for. You and everyone else on these forums will see my BIG idea reveal itself within the next 6 months and it will be a massive success.

Im similar to you. Thats why i can give you some advice.

Im not a coder, not a designer, i just love the Internet and i have BIG ideas.

What i did during the last 6 years?

I kept going. I never gave up, not ever. And trust me i have failed and lost a lot of money. A LOT!

One time, i was close, i was real close to giving up, i was depressed, i was beaten, i was sad and i felt like stopping everything. This was just before my big break. Just before it all started to happen for me.

But it never goes away, trust me. That little flicker of light within you, that little buzz.. It wont quit, its like it has some sort of mystical power that is there to drive and guide you!

Let me tell you something: The only thing we humans, all of us, have in common? The only thing that does not seperate any of us? Even those of us born into poverty, born without full bodily function, born without even food and water in the home?

We all have the Universal right to control our own thoughts!

Free Will.

And that spark within you, all it needs is your thought and your energy to make anything happen!

Just after i thought i had been beaten (although in the back of my mind, i still had not given up hope) i was at a training day for work, we where learning some excel at a TAFE (College). I was bored out of my mind, so as the teacher was going through some of the excel basics i started to browse the net... as you do :rolleyes:

For some unknown reason, i had the urge to search for "Fear of success" & "Fear of failure". I began reading and soaking all the information up and after doing some mental excercises that the author asked me to do i felt really good, i felt great actually.

I had discovered in my own mind, that i was secretly afraid of succeeding because of the responsibilities that came with it!!! There was also some small things there with regards to the opposite, fear of failure.

From that day on, i had this huge momentum building behind me. I then purchased a book called "Think & Grow Rich", its one of the oldest and most powerful books i have ever read in fact i was recommended it in a thread i started on this very forum!

There was one chapter, one line, one thing that i discovered within that book, that changed my life forever! It was this:

Defeats are only temporary.

Everytime you stumble, everytime you hit a wall, everytime you stop, its all just a temporary defeat. And you know what most people do? They give up, they stop. why? Many reasons.

For me it was my fear of success + temporary defeats. I was using temporary defeats as my excuse for not making things happen.

Once i connected the two realities, and i decided that i would need to become responsible, things started to move for me, i started kicking goals!

So what im saying with all this is:

Keep pushing, keep reading, keep learning, keep growing, stay focused on one thing, one target, one goal, focus all your spare time and energy into that goal, understand that defeats are only temporary, understand that you will never be whole even at death you will still continue to transform, you will always need to learn something, something about yourself and something about the world around you...

Be content with nothing, otherwise you will never be content with anything.

And most of all never... ever give up.

To change the pace now. Im not sure where you are at, at what stage on your journey, but i have a good feeling..

What i will say to you is this:

Take a break, one, two, or more days. Dont think about business, work, money or anything that stresses you out. Just chill. Relax. Take deep breathes, stretch out. Look at the stars, go for a walk, have a drink and get loose. Get a massage. Fall in love, or back in love with that same person. Everything - will be - ok.

And watch what happens!

Thats all.

Andrei.

Haha I feel ya man.. We just gotta take action! I have some bad ass ideas right now man. Only thing standing in my way is a programmer

Well I'm actually making a lot of contacts over in my challenge thread, *Lend A Hand*. (Challenge/Contest Forum) So my big ideas don't seem that far away now that I have a group of potential partners!
