Dreaming Big Dreams and Overcoming Limitations

The starting point of great success and achievement is to dream big dreams and fantasize about the possibilities. When you dream big, your self-esteem and self-confidence increase, enabling you to deal better with challenges. The theory of constraints, as elucidated by Eliyahu Goldratt, states that in any process or goal, there is a bottleneck or constraint that determines the speed of achievement. By identifying and focusing on alleviating the critical constraint, you can accelerate progress. For example, if you want to double your income, you must identify and address the constraint that holds you back. By doubling the quality and quantity of what you offer or changing activities to become more valuable, you can overcome this limitation.
