We are told to think big. Have dreams. Think outside the box, and even outside the realm of possibility.

It’s good to have dreams and think big, right? Especially if you own and operate a small business. Thinking big is the first step in being successful, or so we’re told.

Ken - Excellent advice. We always hear the benefits of thinking big, and for the right reason. Without having a grand vision Amazon would not be where it is today. However, at the same time to take those baby steps that will get you to your grand vision. Without starting your journey with small steps, merely having a grand vision will not get you anywhere.

One phrase summarizes the message - Think BIG, Act SMALL!!

As a small business owner, interested in fundamental ideas, I see the big picture. I can dream about having a franchise chain for my favorite beverage someday and I can morally defend big business (as long as they have acted in a good way, without any favors from Washington) due to the fact that they have started out as small business owner too, back in the day.

I am searching for the ideal customer who understands my skills and knowledge, and value my services and products and pay for it accordingly. I have now found a perfect material symbol for the trader principle in objective money, i.e. silver and gold coins.
