Too many people think a good idea will succeed by itself. Others think that passion without the idea will win. I agree with you. It's a mixture of the two, if you want real lasting success.

Seeing something on the far horizon is a wonderful way to keep moving forward. Keep dreaming big. I’m glad that works for you.

I really like what Crystal said, too. It is really important to break it down into the manageable mini-goals—that’s one way to align your Vision with the real world. If the horizon looks too far away, that can give you signposts to let you know you’re getting closer.

I tended to dream small, but my business coach turned that around on me. From her, I've found that working on small, safe tasks is ideal for my workstyle. But it's critical that once a month I get away from the keyboard, sprawl out with a notepad and pen, dream limitlessly, and sketch out a BIG future. From that I build a list of manageable mini-goals, which doesn't alarm me quite so much :) Hi KG–Too right…where’s the joy in aspiring to cautious goals?

I've always had a big vision so there is never a problem there... Dreams and Goals are a huge part of success and if you don't have big dreams then you won't have the motivation to reach your goals... <em>KG Lew's last blog post..<a href='http://oneyearmillionaire.net/2008/04/07/issue-39-a-winning-design/'>Issue 39 : A Winning Design.</a></em> Great post!
