In the glossary: The graveyard
What is actually buried down there?
The things buried in a graveyard are not vague dreams but specific, nameable assets that never got built.
- The company that was going to launch in January.
- The book with three chapters written.
- The price increase that was never sent.
- The hire that never happened.
- The conversation that was avoided.
James Dooley did not originate the graveyard idea, and this book will not pretend he did. Myles Munroe called the cemetery the wealthiest place on the planet decades ago.
Why does nobody take the graveyard seriously?
People dismiss the graveyard because it is too far away to feel real.
Which of your ideas is already halfway in?
Every reader of this book already has one idea that is halfway into the ground.
The graveyard is not full because people lacked ideas. It is full because they lacked a Tuesday afternoon when they finally did something about one.
