"Dream Big"

"Dream Big"...........“As entrepreneurs, we refuse to think small,” he said. “Your ambition is the cap to your potential.”

When I hear the words, "Dream Big", I immediately think of the speeches we hear at high school and college graduations. We spend lots of time telling our children to "Dream Big", but do we still apply that to our own lives as adults? 

The first "Compass Entrepreneurship Principles" at our company is, "Dream Big". When I sit and try to apply this to my life, it is easy to hit a road block. I am in my 50's, what things do I need to dream big about? But if we stop dreaming, we stop living. The dreams of our heart, soul, and mind are what keep us alive and growing.

I've talked before about how a body of water that isn't moving smells bad. The currents are what bring in fresh and new water and makes it so that nothing is standing still. No one wants to sit beside a smelly, gross swamp and dream about life. But put me next to a quiet stream, or a beautiful river, or on the beach of the ocean, and my creative juices start flowing. I feel the heavy daily life issues roll off my shoulders, and suddenly I am refreshed and new and ready! 

If we do not "Dream Big", we become like that smelly swamp, both personally and professionally. As a Realtor, I am guiding people when it comes to their real estate dreams. Whether it is buying their first home ever, or selling their parent's family home, every single home purchase or sale is the beginning or the end of of someone's dream. I believe firmly that I have to be able to visualize and articulate my own hopes and dreams if I want to be able to guide someone through theirs! So my personal goal is label my dreams as "goals". I want to achieve my dreams, one at a time, and then dream up new things to achieve. What are your dreams and goals for 2023!

"Dream Big" my friends.......dream big!
