Today in my new business, MIGHT club, the revolutionary web application software that is our core product was completed! Six months in the making. Should have/could have cost easily cost us high six figures, but it did not. My partner and I didn’t get it done with money. We got it done with what we call MIGHT: power and possibility-thinking.
First of all, we assumed it must be possible to get our expensive dream done without money.
It’s easy to think the magic key to all your dreams, visions and projects is lots of money. But I assure you it is not. I recently watched two separate entrepreneurs allocate more than $500,000 to create software and never get a finished, working system. Time and time again, I’ve seen money not be the magic key. Because money can’t buy vision. You have to bring that. Disney had to bring that. And money can’t buy success. You have to manage and guide that. When you take money and apply it to your dream, passion or project, it’s only going to take your abilities and flaws and magnify them. So truly, money isn’t the magic key to your success. You are. You, your vision, gumption, creativity and possibility-thinking are. Remember that and money will be a whole lot less important to you making remarkable things happen.
See most people hope money can help them avoid having to envision, decide or create “it” themselves. But I assure you, if you’re out to do something remarkable, you have to lead with vision, clarity and decisions. Money can’t have a vision or make decisions for you. And people you hire can only do as well as you guide them to.
We got hundreds of thousands of dollars of programming work done, on-time!, and without money because of a clear compelling vision that inspired both confidence and creativity in the programmers, an insanely well developed series of diagrams that we could show the programmers of what we wanted (when you can give a super-detailed picture of what you want makes it vastly easier for others to give you what you want), and by some sharing of the profits on the back end. See, we got it down with power and possibility-thinking.
MIGHT is more powerful than money.
