This talk introduces the 5C rule: Clarity, Courage, Consistency, Community, and Celebration, as a roadmap to transform ideas into tangible results. It highlights why ideas often fail, citing comfort zones, perfection paralysis, and lone-ranger mindsets. Using vivid analogies like non-blurry photos and accountability partners, the session emphasizes starting small, showing strength in challenges, maintaining habits, collaborating effectively, and celebrating milestones. Audiences are inspired to stop merely dreaming and begin executing, remembering that “an idea will not work unless you work the idea."
