"Don’t tell me the sky’s the limit when there are footprints on the moon."

I remember the first time I heard that quote. It hit me. Hard.

Because too often, I’ve seen brilliant ideas shut down with:
🚫 “That’s impossible.”
🚫 “We can’t move that fast.”
🚫 “This is how we’ve always done it.”

Really?

Let’s talk about “impossible.”

🚀 AI was supposed to be decades away from replacing creative work. Then we got ChatGPT writing, designing, and coding in months.
🚀 Reusable rockets were science fiction. Then SpaceX landed one-live-on a floating platform.
🚀 SaaS companies took years to build a customer base. Then OpenAI hit 100M users in 2 months.

The sky isn’t the limit-it’s just the starting line.

I’ve seen startups pivot entire business models in weeks. I’ve worked with teams who pushed out MVPs in record time-because they weren’t chasing "safe" ideas.
They were chasing impact.

The biggest barriers? Not technology. Not competition.
It’s the mindset.

The best product teams don’t just ship products. They:
✅ Launch messy, iterate fast (Airbnb’s first site looked awful, but it worked).
✅ Pivot without ego (Slack started as a gaming company).
✅ Think beyond limits (Tesla isn’t just making cars, it’s redefining mobility).

So next time someone says, “That’s not possible,” remind them: footprints exist on the moon.

Your product, your company, your career- it’s only limited by the boundaries you refuse to accept.

What’s stopping you from taking your moonshot? 🚀
