At the CALIFORNIA BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CENTER, also as business owners, we understand that some weeks you only have room for just ONE THING to focus on improving your business. So, each week, we will send you a short, one minute, email to improve the success of your business...let us know what you think and any suggestions that you may have.
The One Thing to Remember This Week
DREAM BIG...and DREAM CLEAR
French writer and Nobel Prize winner Anatole France once said, "To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe." Many of us, especially those of us running small business, know how to plan and act. We make lists, we chase funding, we gather clients, and we bury ourselves endlessly in the avalanche of paper at our desks. We are, in fact, the marathon runners of action. No one can dispute the number of hours of sweat and elbow grease we pour into our business.
The question is, how well is that approach working for us? Hour for hour, small business owners and entrepreneurs earn less than most employees in the business sector. Oh sure, we may bring home a large paycheck, but when we divide that paycheck by the number of hours we put in, how much are we making per hour? More importantly, are we really living the dream we set out to dream?
Was our dream big enough? Did we even have a dream?
It turns out that one of the main reasons we small business owners work really hard without getting very far is because we don't have an inspiring long term vision that leads us, step-by-step, into the future of our dreams. Most of the time, we've either forgotten our dreams or didn't have one to start out with. As Victor Hugo said, "There is nothing like a dream to create the future." We need a dream, and we need to dream big!
See below on how you can DREAM BIG to increase your business success
