split personality<\/a> that is within each and every one of us.<\/p>\nToday I’m going to ask something which may seem a bit incongruent with that one.<\/p>\n
My question for you today…<\/p>\n
ARE YOUR IDEAS OR DREAMS BIG ENOUGH?<\/h2>\n
Recently I was in a forum where the idea came up of creating your own platform in order to control the amount of people coming to your site(s) and products.<\/p>\n
One of the ideas constant throughout all nearly all thoughts was it’s okay to create a platform, but everyone was certain that we could not build anything to compete with Google.<\/p>\n
To which my reply is…
\nAre your Ideas or Dreams BIG Enough?<\/strong><\/p>\nThe reason I ask this is because of all the companies we now look at as “too big to compete with”, were once in the same position we are in now.<\/p>\n
Before Google came along, Yahoo was the search giant.<\/p>\n
Before Amazon came along, WalMart was the biggest retailer.<\/p>\n
Before Microsoft came along, IBM was the largest computer\/software company.<\/p>\n
Each one of these companies were once in a position where they had to dream a gigantic dream to even consider climbing into the same arena as the giant they were chasing.<\/p>\n
I’m not saying that the Big Idea or a Gigantic Dream is enough.<\/p>\n
It’s not.<\/p>\n
One needs a lot of things to go the way you want for things to happen the way you want, but is it impossible?<\/p>\n
Only for those who never even attempt it.<\/p>\n
A Big Idea Is Necessary!<\/h3>\n
Without that big idea, would a new “biggest” or “best” company have come along?<\/p>\n
Probably not.<\/p>\n
Without it, J. C. Penny, Sears or Woolworths might still be the largest retailer.<\/p>\n
IBM would still be the largest software\/computer company.<\/p>\n
Those companies are not at the top of the heap anymore and the current “biggest” companies won’t stay there forever either.<\/p>\n
It takes a BIG Idea, a Huge amount of Energy, a Fantastic and Constant Vision along with a lot of “right” decisions, actions and breaks during the journey.<\/p>\n
The thing I like the most about those gigantic dreams and big ideas is that if you miss a bit, you still have a good chance of being very successful along the way.<\/p>\n
Be sure to allow yourself to Dream that Gigantic Dream, come up with that BIG Idea, and remember to keep the two workers inside of you talking with each other.<\/p>\n
Give yourself that ever important chance to become as successful as possible by dreaming as big as you can.<\/p>\n
Thank you for spending a bit of time with me today and I hope you have a beautifully successful day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
