Big Dreams - a waste of time?

If you're a semi-regular reader of my blog you'll know that I'm a great believer of having goals and targets to meet when you setup in business. As I mentioned in my mini series on starting up in business, these targets have to be achievable and quantifiable.

Recently however I have had a couple of pretty zany ideas passed by me which, at first sight may sound completely nuts and unachievable but I've been left wondering why that is. I have always felt that The Site Doctor is a foundation for something larger but quite what that is I have no idea at the moment but one idea that's readily stuck with me is one that Rich Davies and I merely jested about -buying a big, expensive yacht and sailing it around the Caribbean for the rich and famous.

I've put this idea to a couple of people since and every time they've laughed. I can understand why they see it as a joke but why should it be? When I first setup in business I had a surprising number of people assure me I was mad and it would never work so why should this idea be any different? Ok the investment involved is on a scale way out of the league of The Site Doctor but I still don't feel it's unachievable if the time and effort is put into it.

What do you think? Is thinking big just a waste of time in your eyes or is it more speculative than wasteful?

I feel that dreaming big is good exercise, it keeps mind fit, 'coz it takes lots of energy to get into some big idea.

normally normal people doesn't tend to give it more then 5 minute to some idea and will forget it.

but, when paid full attention and a given a dedicated time to research to see the complete picture of some small idea, it becomes big, and then and only then one can execute it.

so if you dream big, that means you can execute some or one of them, sometime, successfully.

e.g. just imagine Brin and Larry left the idea of such a nice search engine, that would be next big thing in net !!

can you imagine ?!
