I would love to know more about how you progress. I absolutely agree with the way you're moving. It's much easier to achieve when you're moving from a state of abundance than a state of lack. Choices from a state of lack will tend to keep a person stuck or moving in circles. It's so much easier the way we're doing it. All my best to you. Thank you, Barbara, for commenting.

Recently I've change my mind and my goal is quite unrealistic. According to mindset theory, that you should set up unrealistic goal and behave as you already have it, I'm going to accomplish it.

Your right, it can be intimidating at first when you make a goal that at first seems so unreachable. It's hard to set little goals once you get acquainted with thinking bigger. Congratulations on your business growth and success. Thanks for sharing your story. Your right, it can be intimidating at first when you make a goal that at first seems so unreachable.

My experience with dreaming big is related to my business. At the time, we were about to shut the doors but we decided to give it one last shot. We talked about goal setting and decided if we only increased revenue by 20% for the next year, we would pretty much be in the same position. We decided to come up with the huge, totally unreachable number of increasing revenue by 100%. We were a little intimidated by the goal and it was a slow go at first. By the end of the first 3 months, we were only 30% above year-over-year sales. But by the fourth month, the hard work we put into the first 3 months started to pay off. We were awarded a couple contracts that we didn't think we had a chance at and the ball began to roll. Word of mouth grew and by the time the year was out, we had exceed our hefty goal and increased our revenue by 104% over the previous year. Great article, Amy.
