Dreaming the Dream Supreme
Matt Inglot wrote recently about Developing a Detailed Vision and Having it Become Reality.
The forces of the universe must be aligning for me. Because this sounds awful similar to what Maxine Clark, the founder of Build-A-Bear Workshop, talked about in her book The Bear Necessities of Business: Building a Company with Heart:
I challenge you to think about what your ideal business would look like if there were no obstacles—financial or otherwise—in your way. That’s what I did in the planning stages for Build-A-Bear Workshop… I imagined, down to the smallest detail, everything I would need to build a successful brand and company.
It was a grand vision indeed, and although I wasn’t able to do all the things I dreamed about immediately, I knew the possibilities that were out there. My vision and the resulting business plan provided me with the ultimate blueprint of goals to work toward as the company (and our profits) grew.
In other words, a dream is not a pie-in-the-sky feeling. It’s something you can see and hear and touch and smell and taste. It’s clear, and it’s possible. But these possibilities are not limited by outside forces. A dream is a manifestation of your faith, something you believe in; otherwise, you won’t put your best into it. And it’s something only you can make happen.
