Are You Making Little Plans?

“Make no little plans. They have no Magic to stir Men's blood.”~Daniel H. Burnham

How big are your plans? Are they real big or are they just normal size? Why? I work with clients and ask them to come up with a BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) and usually, without fail, they come up with a goal that is reachable with a little more effort, but not one that would require too much work to achieve.

Average plans will not cause you to do whatever you need to do to accomplish it. You will quit on average plans because your reason for doing it doesn't stir your soul...oh, sure, it stirs your soul you say...right. Be honest with yourself.  

Another question I ask my clients is "Are you interested or committed to growing your business?" See, when you are interested in growing your business you will do the things that are easy to do and don't require the heavy lifting that's required when you are COMMITTED. When you are committed, you will do whatever it takes to get the job done!

The world is waiting for you to play big, not small. Your average plans will keep you right where you are...average. I suppose that you could say that in being mediocre, you are always at your best...but that's a backhanded compliment that's not worthy of you. Do you realize that you are worthy of playing big? Yes, YOU are worthy to play big, so show the world what you are here to show the world. Don't hide behind anything, step out and claim your greatness!

Know. Be Known. Make A Difference
