Big Ideas Big Dreams

I think the biggest thing that paralyzes people is the weight of their dreams. In the shower or on the way to work, you may become inspired with an idea. You get excited by the concept and the possibilities. Your hair stands up on your arm because you’ve never had an idea this big or this delicious! You walk in beaming a smile so big a banana can fit sideways!

“Wow! What’s got you so lit up?”

STOP!!!

Before you answer that question, consider NOT telling anyone the answer! A simple, “I’m having a good day” will easily suffice. I’ll explain why in just a moment.

Your next step, if you haven’t done so already, is to write down this piece of inspiration. Let your mind flood the notepad or computer screen without pausing, without editing grammar or spelling AND without interruptions. Don’t worry about the “how” or the “how much” part, just write anything and everything that comes to mind.

The reason I suggested, rather strongly I guess, NOT telling anyone your thoughts or ideas just yet is because everyone has an opinion. Their opinion – good, bad or ugly – is solely based on their experiences, motivations and knowledge. Some may offer good advice, but that newborn idea could be beyond anyone’s perspective. Edison wasn’t quite the hero when he told people about electricity. Can you imagine the look on people's faces when Guglielmo Marconi tried to explain radio waves? It’s enough that this new inspiration may be edited into never-never land by you, and that’s ok too. But never let anyone else take away or diminish that seed.

So here's question for you: “What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?” If this idea excites you, it’s probably something worth checking out. If you haven’t been inspired lately, no worries. Simply sitting down for about 10-15 minutes a day with a notepad or Word, could net you at least 20 ideas a day, 100 a week, 400 a month and 4800 ideas a year! How easy is it to be a millionaire? It’s really all in your head!

Of course, not every idea is a stop-the-press idea, but if you find a few that gets you tickled, plan them out a little further. Most importantly, try not to let the bigness of an idea scare you. Perhaps, it’s time to expand yourself and realize how much potential and power you really do possess. It’s been said that if one has a dream, then he or she also has the capability to see that dream to fruition. The world truly benefits when you seek to improve yourself for you cannot improve and not affect your surroundings. Your idea could not only make you a millionaire, but it could also offer people enrichment of knowledge and encouragement, give people jobs, provide a much needed service, or maybe give people peace or laughter or joy in their lives. So don’t be afraid to dream big and dream often.
Here’s a list a questions to get your brain juices flowing:
What do I enjoy doing?
What am I passionate about?
What improvements can I make at my job? In my business? In my relationships?
What kinds of tasks annoy me or frustrate me? (If it frustrates you, it may frustrate others – possible product or service idea)
What do my kids, spouse, pets like or enjoy?

Keep your eyes and mind open for possible opportunities. Anything that’s lacking is a possible gap that your service or product could provide. Maybe it’s something no one thought of or a new or better way of doing something. Be an idea seeker and they will find you.

Thank you so much for your precious time! Until we meet again, may everyday be one of joy, happiness and prosperity.

Who Wants to be a Millionaire?

When I was a kid, my grandfather was the catalyst that expanded my thinking about money. He knew of the economic situation my grandmother was in trying to take care of me, so he wanted me to see a different side of life. That day felt like a book was opened to me and only I was privy to read its contents.

Many years later, I have never let go of the dream to be a millionaire and a few times I came close, but no cigar. Now, at 40 something, I looked back at my life to figure out what went wrong? Why had I not achieved millionaire status? I have many excuses that I won't bore you with, but the main reasons I believe held me back was:

*Listening to others and not believing in myself
*Constantly unclear and unfocused on what I really wanted
*Letting the dips outweigh the successes
*Constantly wanting, wanting, wanting, but never actually seeing myself in that millionaire role

Ultimately, the reasons all point to me. But by taking responsibility for my actions and the place I'm at presently, I know I can also control and take responsibility for how I will create my future.

Thus "Getting to Millionaire" was born. It's my goal to create a positive and inspiring atmosphere for those really wanting to be a millionaire. As this develops, you will see many articles, pictures, videos, books and excerpts all designed to put you in the role of millionaire.

Oliver Wendell Holmes was quoted, "The mind, once expanded to the dimensions of larger ideas, never returns to its original size."

This is so true. When my grandfather showed a different way of living, I was no longer complacent with my surroundings. I wanted to grow. I wanted to expand and fulfill whatever purpose(s) I had while on Earth. I wanted to help others. I still have those desires, but now I am all those things. I now become what I wish.

I also encourage you, my dear friend, to really think of how you can see yourself in the role of millionaire. Make believe the past was only a teacher for you to reach this moment and now you can use that vital information to propel you to heights only you can imagine.

You may want to bookmark or subscribe to this blog, because many ideas, concepts and possible solutions will be adding constantly. Some things may not fit with whatever you are needing at the moment or you may find the golden nugget you've been searching for all your life. You never know!
