Motivational Power Quote
Follow your Vision
“The man with a new idea is a crank
until the idea succeeds.”
Mark Twain
As I see it. . . . . . . .
Follow your vision.
There are times that others don’t see your vision as you do and will call you a crank.
While attending Yale University, Fred Smith, founder of FedEX, wrote a term paper on the business model for what would become FedEX, his professor at Yale give him a C for his work.
The professor explained to Smith that his idea was illogical, and no one would invest their money in such a radical business concept or risk their career’s to work for such a company.
Fred Smith followed his vision and surrounded himself with committed people and launched FedEX in April 1973.
Today Fred Smith is seen as an innovator.
Don’t let other people’s opinions stand between you and your vision.
