#6: how long is too long? is waiting killing the dream?

They say the richest place on earth is the graveyard—where the unwritten books, unsung songs, and unstarted businesses are buried. In this episode of Thoughts of a Dreamer, I share a story that changed how I think about fear, timing, and taking action on my dreams.

During a flight back from Amsterdam, I met a music executive who turned a midnight idea into a next-day mission. No waiting. No overthinking. Just execution. That conversation made me realize how easily we confuse preparation with procrastination and how fear of failure disguises itself as “planning.”

We talk about why overthinking kills creativity, how to stop waiting for the “right time,” and what it really means to give your dreams oxygen before they fade. This is for the dreamer stuck in pause mode—the one sitting on ideas that could change everything if only they’d start.

If you dreamed it, you can do it. Don’t let your ideas die in your head—bring them to life while they still have breath.
