4 Steps to Turn Your Ideas Into Reality

Is your head swimming with ideas but you have a hard time implementing any of them?  Do you have a huge vision but you can’t figure out how to get there? Here are 4 steps you can take to start turning your ideas into reality.

Creative people are idea generators. If you’re creative, you know - new ideas are constantly streaming into your mind. This can be a wonderful gift if you know how to manage and implement your ideas.

However, if you aren’t acting on your ideas, they accumulate in your mind and can feel very overwhelming.  If you aren’t getting throughput with your ideas, you can start to question your self-esteem, start losing track of your vision or even become depressed.

I see this time and time again with my clients and it’s something I’ve had to learn to manage in my own life. I get to work with the most amazing, creative people!  My clients show up with tons of amazing ideas. The problem is, they have so many ideas that they have a hard time picking one to go with. Meanwhile, they aren’t accomplishing any of them.

I help my clients organize their ideas and break them into step-by-step actions to bring their ideas into physical reality.

Imagine a cup sitting on your desk. That cup was first an idea in someone’s mind. In order to bring the cup from the idea phase (non-physical reality) into physical reality, the person had to focus on it. They had to pick that one concept and work with it until it became a product they could hold in their hand and create a business around. 

The idea had to be focused on in great detail – what color would the cup be? How big would it be? Which material would it be made from?  Who would manufacture the cup? All of these questions had to be answered in order to bring the cup into reality.

It’s the same with your ideas and your business. If you have an idea, you must give it focused attention in order to make it a reality. You must spend time working out the details. You have to focus on one idea at a time.

Here’s how to move from idea into action:

1. Write Down All of Your Ideas. DO NOT bypass this step! This is one of the most important things you can do to free up space in your mind. If you are holding all of your ideas in your mind, it’s probably very crowded in there. Get all of your ideas out on paper. This step frees a lot of mental energy and is the first step toward clarity. Trust me! 
2. Organize Your Ideas. Create a mind map. List your ideas into categories. For example: projects, programs, books, videos, etc. When your ideas are jumbled in your head, it is hard to make sense of them. Once you write them out, then organize them, you begin to see a larger picture and how your ideas fit together. 
3. Prioritize Your Ideas. Looking at the overall picture, which step comes first?  Is there a sequence you can follow that leads to your overall destination?  If you aren’t sure, start with the easiest idea first. Once you start implementing your ideas, your confidence builds and you start getting more throughput. 
4. PICK ONE and GET STARTED. You don’t have to have the whole plan figured out before you start down the path. I see so many people stuck in this phase. You don’t have to know all of the details of how your destiny will unfold. You just have to start walking in the direction. The path will be revealed to you as you go. When you step foot on your path, you are telling the Universe that you are ready. Now the Universe can show up to support your journey. It can’t interact with you in this way if you aren’t willing to take the first step. You will find the resources you need once you decide to implement your idea.

If you are ready to start taking action on your ideas, message me. I would love to help you streamline your ideas and break them into manageable action items. We will sit down together and map out which steps are necessary to bring your idea into fruition. It helps tremendously to have someone help you untangle all of your ideas, get clear on what needs to happen first and create action plans for making your ideas a reality.

You really can do this! You just have to get organized, prioritize and start taking action. Don’t wait any longer. You truly can create the life of your dreams. One step at a time. Just get started. <3
