“All men who achieved great things have been dreamers<\/span>.” – Unknown<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

I really enjoy this quote! I have never taken ‘dreamers’ here to mean a lackadaisical, dreamy, cotton-headed person; to me, it has always meant someone who thinks and plans and is willing to work on those plans until they come to fruition or pivot to another idea derived from the first. I have, for many years, admired the works and ambitions of Vanderbilt<\/a>, Rockefeller<\/a>, Carnegie<\/a>, Morgan<\/a>, and Ford<\/a>. The early industrialists and business leaders that built huge businesses and forged many of the standards and work norms that are part of our current views of the work place.<\/p>\n

While my dreams have not yet come to fruition, I am still working on them. I got distracted and sidetracked by the cacophony of the educators and leaders that say go to school and get an education. While a degree is helpful, the real education that is needed is that of personal drive and desire. I believe that it is more important for a person to pursue the knowledge that one needs (has an interest in) to pursue their goals. We could talk about Steve Jobs<\/a> taking the calligraphy course or of Bill Gates<\/a> spending hours coding in his high school years. We could also look at Mark Zuckerburg<\/a>, Jack Dorsey<\/a>, Mark Cuban<\/a>, or Michael Dell<\/a>. We could look outside the typical business communities to Christian von Koenigsegg<\/a>, Hayley Hobson<\/a>, Eric Worre<\/a>, or Robert Kiyosaki<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My point is that if you have an idea work on it; see where that adventure will take you!<\/p>\n
