We need more follow through than more ideas. Ideas are overrated.
What is a Follow-Through Person (FTP)?
Someone who knows that good execution is 90% of what makes anything succeed.
Someone who values getting shit done.
Someone who honors the craft of getting shit done well.
Someone who recognizes that in order to make the idea live, she must inspire others to also want to make the idea live, through a combination of planning, research, critical thinking, and effort.
Someone who fights the devil in the details every single day.
Someone who does not pat herself on the back when the idea is good, but only when the incarnation of the idea is good.
Someone who does not flinch at the possibility that her idea may not be good enough.
Someone who soldiers on through the hard, the repetitive, the frustrating, the boring, all for the sake of making something real.
Let’s celebrate that person.
Let’s fantasize about being that person.
