The most successful entrepreneurs dared to dream BIG and you should too. The most successful entrepreneurs constantly push boundaries in order to see their business grow.
This is something not to be afraid of but something to embrace. Trust your instincts they are often right! Dreaming starts with aspirations, from those aspirations plans start to develop and grow.
With this in mind here are a few tips to dream BIG…
With any plans know your end goal BUT break this down into achievable goals. Have goals that are realistic, yet big enough to make you stretch to reach them.
Make sure you write your plans down, be accountable and check how you are doing.
Foresee your challenges and know how to act on them.
Have someone you trust to talk through your ideas and plans. This can be invaluable and can also keep you grounded.
Stay motivated! If this big plan of yours doesn’t float your boat and you just think it is a big money maker; your plan wont work!!! You have to be passionate about what you are doing, let your passion shine.
Dreaming big makes you more creative, it makes you want to learn and grow. Go with it, try new things out, this is what makes you grow and stand out from the crowd.
Become the expert in your field, make sure you know everything there is to know about your business and don’t be afraid to shout about it.
If one of your ideas doesn’t work, don’t worry. Look at the failures as learning curves. Reassess why it didn’t work, adjust and off you go again.
Take small steps but don’t lose sight of the BIG PICTURE.

5 年These sentiments are absolutely great! And if you don't have that big goal to reach, you won't really get anywhere, as you won't know where headed. Love this.

5 年Great article Karen. I think once you've learnt to feel more confident in your own abilities (as photographer in my case) then you become better able to sell yourself and go with bigger plans and ideas. Also the art of self promotion was always tricky one for me. After becoming self-employed few years back It was massive learning curve for me to go out there into the 'market' and to sell myself and my work. This does take time, and giving up the profession was something that was seriously considered. But because my passion is photography, ideas and big plans are entwined within each other, and I can't see myself doing anything else.?
