Dare to Act On Your Dreams Part 2

Yesterday I profiled Henry Luce the founder of Time magazine. Today I will profile another individual that dared to act on their dreams.

Dreams are simply ideas, but ideas are powerful. Ideas affect ours lives in every way. Everything you see, touch, feel and experience is an idea. From the shoes you wear to the car you drive everyday is an idea.

Therefore your dreams can transform your life, like they have for each of the people I will profile this week. If you really want to lead the life you love, start to act on your dreams.

Kemmons Wilson acted on his dream of providing a motel that provided quality service. Kemmons became very upset at the service that his family received during a family road trip.

His idea was to provide better quality service one motel at a time. In 1952 he opened his first Holiday Inn in Memphis, and soon began to open up others. By 1964, just 12 years later, there were 500 Holiday Inns in America. All from a single idea.

How many times have you been displeased with service you have received? We all have at some point, but for the majority of us, we just complain and walk away. Kemmons took an unpleasant experience and dreamed about how he could change it.

Is there something in your life that you could improve and make better? I have noticed that dreams and ideas that seek to improve the quality of life for others prosper the most. Ideas have transformational power when acted upon.

Here are a few ways to attract great ideas...

    1. Instead of complaining, look for solutions.
    2. Constantly ask yourself, how can something be made, done or said better.
    3. Remember, most ideas seem dumb before they reach mass appeal.

Be inspired by Kemmons Wislon to act on your dreams!
