100 BUSINESS WISDOM FROM THE GREATS – 9 of 100 If your dreams don’t scare you, they are too small. Richard Branson The bible says, without vision people perish. If you can see it, you can have it. The first exercise I do with successful entrepreneurs I work with is to explore their vision and 9 times out of 10; we have to revise the vision because it is very often too small. We have been taught to be modest, don’t dream too big, don’t laugh too loud, don’t show your brilliance, don’t blow your trumpet, you get the idea. You may copy this and put it where you can see it everyday. “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do……… ― Marianne Williamson,
