I have always been a dreamer. For me, dreaming isn’t something I do when I’m sleeping. If I am alone with my thoughts, I am imagining my creations. All +900 of them and counting. Some are better than others, and sometimes, I have ideas that keep me awake at night. Those are those ones I jot down in my notebook and create business plans around. If I get far enough, I give my idea a name. I research website domains and create a spreadsheet around my idea. It’s no longer just an idea, it’s a business plan. If I’m feeling confident, I share my plan with friends and family. I take note of their thoughts and opinions. Maybe I’ll ignore their feedback, or I adjust a thing or two. Then something happens as soon as I get to this stage. As quickly as the idea came to me, it leaves me. Like searching for lost keys, I can never remember where I put my passion for this plan.

There is a graveyard of all my failure to launch ideas in my head. Piles and piles of ideas are stacked like an attic filled with old books and broken toys. Where did all this stuff come from? I can pick up a dusty book titled The Cloud. I remember I made this one in the 2^nd grade; it was to open an ice cream shop called The Cloud where I envisioned offering soft serve like chips and dip. Great idea for a 7year old. Then I see a stack of cobwebbed books that has all my fashion designs until I realized I didn’t know how to sew. I take a step back and see odds and ends piled and piled on top of each other. It’s humbling.

Do More Dream Less came out of necessity for me. I am ready to try. I am ready to learn. I am ready to build new skills and showcase some I never knew I had. If you’re like me, you too, have a library of ideas collecting dust. Let’s put aside doubt and worry. Let’s Do MORE and dream less.
