thinking big is the key.
I can’t tell you how many people laughed at me when I was a kid when they asked what I was gonna be when I grow up and I told em I was gonna make movies. It was the same reaction when my brother told them he was gonna be a major league baseball player. It was part pitty and part… well, I think it was just pitty. I was in the video industry full time for well over a decade before my Dad stopped asking me if I was “still doing that video thing?” Today I make little movies every day. Not to spite the nay sayers but because I’d rather do something I love rather than get in line like the rest of the drones. If I didn’t make it happen, it’d simply not happen.
The key to thinking big? Man just freakin love it. Ya don’t have to really think about it then. Folks ask me my business plan sometimes. It always gets a laugh from me. I’m in a rapidly evolving industry so the plan is to lead the evolution, not follow. I don’t have to write that down. John Lennon was wise when he said life is what happens when you’re making plans. I’d rather spend time living than planning and missing it.
Bottom line, if you aint goin’ woohoo, you aint doin’ it right. Do that everyday and success gravitates to you. Seek success while deciding what ya wanna be when you grow up and you’ll remain too lost to find it.
