Thinking Big Means Thinking Differently

—

When building a profitable practice, you have to think outside the box. You’ve got to think differently; you’ve got to think big. Thinking big really means thinking differently. The next time you hear someone tell you to think big, look at it another way. Take their advice as a suggestion to think differently. Any two people may have separate ideas about what thinking big means. But everyone understands having thoughts that are different than the norm. When you think normal, typical and common thoughts, you’ll create those types of realities.

You have to think and act differently than you have in the past if you want to create a different type of life

You definitely don’t want to think like this: ‘Good enough is good enough. I have a roof over my head and food on my table. Why would I risk messing that up by doing something different? I’m getting by fine right now, thank you very much. The way we’re doing things is the way we’ve always done things. If there was a bigger, better way of doing things, someone would have discovered it by now.’ Those are the thoughts of someone who never thinks big. In some cases, they’re actually frightened to entertain amazing possibilities. One of the reasons is because they might require action on their part. Once they dream of a big, new and amazing reality, their emotions get big as well.

Your emotions fuel your actions

This makes these people think about taking action. Since they are lifelong small thinkers, there’s a lot of angst and concern that accompanies those feelings. They’ve always played it safe and have never taken risks; never dreaming big or taking big action. They might not be doing great, but life’s okay, so why upset the applecart? Normal, traditional and accepted isn’t always the best. Henry Ford not only changed auto manufacturing, he revolutionized the production of so many different products in several industries. He installed the first moving assembly line for mass producing an automobile in 1913. People told him his idea would never work. They said, “Why do you want to risk so much money in your reputation? Just stick with the old assembly methods, Henry.” He went ahead and thought differently anyway. The result is that he instantly reduced the time it took to build an entire automobile from 12 hours to just 93 minutes.

By thinking differently, he gave the Ford motor company the ability to manufacture eight complete cars in the time it took other companies to build a single automobile. Don’t be scared to think differently. If you have a problem understanding what thinking big means, just focus on original thoughts or ideas. Think differently, and you might achieve results that are big enough to change the world, just like Henry Ford did.
