Somebody once told me two things; 

 If you have an idea look for money. 

If you have money look for an idea. 

I agree, but one thing he didn't mention which I have experienced. If you have an idea, passiion and no money you can still make your idea happen. Wilsen Initiative since inception I have been looking for funds to support the educational pillar which needs quite a number of resources from physical space, computers, personnel, library section etc. Having no funds in place hasn't deterred me from pursuing my mission towards the vision through my individual efforts and my extended networks especially for the soccer pillar. More about the project www.wilseninitiative.wordpress.com 

10 things you can consider to kick-start your idea in 2021 with less budget or zero budget. You just need to:- 

1. Segment your idea into smaller bits that doesn't require a big budget. 
2. You need to build a network of support there are things you can't do alone. 
3. Give your best in terms of Commitment, Consistency and Culture.
4. Celebrate your small wins, document every step of your journey. It is what will also encourage you to do more and be more.
5. Think impact not money, even though money makes a difference if you don't have it, still strive to create an impact at the individual levels.
6. Build meaningful networks that you can rely on to amplify the idea to the next level.
7. Don't forget to develop yourself as the idea evolves, it might need more skills. 
8. Look for mentors, they come handy when you run out energy and resources.
9. Have something else that you're doing that pays your bill because if your life is shaken your idea also will fade.
10. Create room for freedom, choices, breaks and learn from failure. Don't beat yourself too hard when things aren't working. Love what you do, do what you love.

 I take this opportunity to say a big thank you for everyone who has supported my vision. I want to wish you all the best in 2021. www.wilsenx.blogspot.com
