Ep. 150 - Dream Big, Start Small

Dreaming big for your business is wonderful but trying to start big is detrimental. It stretches your time and resources thin which creates additional stress on you and your relationships. And if you need capital like a loan of investor, to finance the dream, “fo getta bout it.” That’s additional stress you don’t need. By starting smaller, you move forward much quicker and do so with less risk.

In fact, the odds of success are greater when you start small. 

This episode was inspired by a recent business we helped and the vault of other clients that faced similar situations. We review 3 case studies (my own example included) where the dreams was fine, it was the starting points that changed for the better.
