SUMMARY:
——————–
How do you know when you’re thinking too big? Do you have dreams that seem beyond your reach? Here's how to think it through:
Plan Big. The problem isn't that people think too big; it's that they fail to plan big. Dream as big as you want but don't fail to create a plan to get there. If you don't have action steps and deadlines in your calendar, you're just wishing and dreaming and not doing. Strategize, structure, work plan your goals and dreams. No goals, no growth.
Know the Worst Case Scenario isn't Likely. No great plan ever gets accomplished without struggle. But people often think the struggle will be worse than it will be. So, if you fail, what's the worst that can happen? People will judge you? They already do that. You'll be broke? You've been there before. You'll be sad? You've felt that before and moved through, too. Get over your fears and continue moving forward because life is also full of second chances. If obstacles come along, you will figure out a way to overcome them – you always have. You're always stronger than you think when you're fighting for a purpose.
Think team. Don't let your current circumstances or competencies limit your vision for the future. Other people can help you grow and progress. They can strengthen your weaknesses. Always think TEAM! You need support to achieve anything significant in life. Your dream is only too big if you haven’t enrolled anyone else in achieving it.
Develop your skill set. If you want to move forward with your dream, you must schedule your learning and growth. What is required to succeed at the next level? What do you need to know? Start learning. What do you need to be able to do? Start training. Create your own curriculum for learning and get it on the calendar.
Put these strategies into play. Live your dreams. Work for them. You'll be on your path to #theChargedLife.

You can never think to big! When you finally hit that goal you will have wished you set your goal even hire.
+Ben Pitcher I agree with you man! I think you can fail to plan big enough but not think too big. Like he says, you must know you can think in teams. Your big dream can have phases and smaller steps.
OMG , I don’t know what I can say !! It likes you made this video and download it just for me I was indeed for this video right now,thank you so much .
+Youssef Shalaby Are you dreaming too big right now?
+New Future Builder you know what I feel like everything is not going in the right direction all my ideas all my plans or goals only my mind I am so afraid of facing the society and the people around me with it ..not because I am afraid of the rejection but there is benefit to tell them .. I don’t know what is going on really.. But the time will never wait me it pass anyway..
+Youssef Shalaby Okay. Thank you for letting us know all of that. I’m not sure on why you’re afraid of rejection.
i always dream in my dreams too big
+Cfitaax Adan What is your dream? And do you have any actions planned out?
I’m 14 and I really want to be a very successful lawyer that has there own company. I also want to respectful to their co workers. And I have traits that make me nice and professional. I don’t know if this changes anything, but I’m on a college prep program and have pre ap on 2 classes, and one of my areas is debate. So, I don’t know if that dream is to much. I also have a plan and goals that I HAVE to complete in order to be a lawyer. I have 4 more years till I know what type of lawyer I want to be. (Also, this isn’t a very professional comment, but I typed it up fast, so..)
What I would suggest, is find out the steps to achieve your dream and everything you do should be driving towards your goal. Good luck!
+ThatChristianGamer Your dream isn’t too much by any means my friend. What makes you think its too big?
+New Future Builder well, mainly because of all the paperwork you have to do for the job, crunching numbers..
+ThatChristianGamer Okay. Hey, I can tell you from my pursuit of my goals, number crunching is going to be the easy part.
“You’re thinking too big if you don’t have it on your small calendar.” Love it!
I think just as important as the action, is the energy behind the action. Action is the medium that allows thoughts to become reality. Having an intention and cultivating a positive environment will allow the dreaming to become reality. Great video Brendon.
Big huge crazy goals all up in here! 🙂 Ready to do more than create ideas. I want to change the world. Thank you. Plan coming up…
+Thriller Writer Steffanie Barger You want to change the world!!!! What ideas do you have? I’m always excited to hear from people that want to impact others!
Do you have a video about Communication skills? Love your vids btw! (:
+++
Thank you. 🙂 I needed this.
Think in teams. I feel like that could be another video.
+Augustus Lu It could. I think this is what eludes people. The only answer to who doesn’t always have to be you!
You should do a Ted talk!
Great video Brendon, thanks for the reminder to go BIG.
So true! I remember a great idea I had – I created a business plan and quickly realised I’d have to work three times as hard as I’d wanted just to break even…
One thing I do if there’s a fair amount of risk or effort is to break it down into tasks/sub-projects that are worth doing even if the entire goal never materialises.
Thanks so much for the videos. Your wisdom is priceless.
A goal without a plan is simply a wish.
These are words of wisdom..
I’m a 15 year old don’t have a clue what to do
Liam Thompson u shld really get lots of advice and research
but remember life is not complex at the end of the day its a simple decision
Solid word man!
