Funding The Dream
In any creative endeavor -whether it be a business idea, a novel, an album, an education- funding is required. Funding is not necessarily limited to financial investment. Funding is denoted by the time those involved vest in the “dream”, funding is defined by the audience that believes in said dream, and funding is distinguished by how much “faith” one has in that dream. It does not matter how many think that your idea is insane. What matters is how many insane people think your idea is possible. The possibility is itself objective and unbiased and rather, the lens through which your audience, your partners, your brain views it is what casts it within the scope of madness or practicality or stupidity.
Sometimes the greatest obstacle is believing enough in your own ability to jump, to fly, and to get back up when you hit the ground -all of which are terrifying when a heavy financial boulder is appended to the seemingly impossible dream. The question that should be asked is not how the reverie will be paid for, but rather how will you remove your own fear from the picture in order to let it all take flight?
