Every year when I go through the list of Fortune 500 companies, I ponder on one particular question. How do they fall into this category? Then I answer myself: they think big. We all know about the success story of Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg.
In earlier days, Facebook had no business model. Today, Facebook is one of the highest income generating companies. Unless you start thinking big, and start with a small action, you will not reach your goal.

No one can blame you for going big. But procrastination is the biggest problem. Why don’t you dance, sing, run, travel, love and laugh freely in life today? Quite strangely, sometimes we deal with minute incidents in a negative manner. Let us change our mind sets.
You may face many hurdles while thinking big. However, at the same time, some people might believe that ‘thinking big’ means you should set yourself wild, and free. In reality, it requires reinventing yourself in a more dynamic way.
Of course, we are all parts of different networks. Our influence is more than what we think. It matters that we think big because others around us are affected by our thinking. We are influenced by what others think. Therefore, we should think big to protect against the negative influences.
As we begin to think big, our networks may change. Yes, our friends, colleagues, bosses, and contacts may also change. We will need to make serious decisions about those we can keep in our lives.
We cannot think big if we are surrounded by people with small mindset. Most importantly, we should be a positive influence and we surround ourselves with positive influences.
