“To sit on an idea or fail to act on a goal is not really goal-setting, but wishful thinking.”

Les Brown

Simplified Meaning:

When you come up with an idea or a goal but don't take any action to make it happen, you're not really working towards it. Instead, you're just daydreaming. Think of it this way: if you want to learn to play the guitar, just thinking about it won't make you a musician. You need to buy a guitar, find a teacher or online lesson, and practice regularly. Without these steps, your wish to play the guitar will just stay a wish and nothing more. Similarly, if someone wants to start their own business but doesn't research the market, create a business plan, or take the first step to register the company, they won't get any closer to their goal. To truly achieve something, you have to put in the effort, make plans, and act on them.
