I was reminded again today that I am a “Big Idea Person” in a “Small Project World.”
People always say they want big ideas, and they enjoy discussing them, but no one really wants to take them on. Big ideas require a lot of work. Big work.
Instead people want to implement small projects. They can accomplish them in a short amount of time, with little money or commitment, and then move on – feeling like they’ve done something important.
Somehow those big ideas get pushed aside so small projects can be implemented. Unfortunately, big ideas don’t come to fruition through small projects, unless people can look at the big picture and do a lot of small projects. But that never seems possible.
Small projects just result in accomplishing small things. Ah… such is life.
