Inventing	your	dream	is	the	first	and	biggest	step	toward	making	it	come	true.

         —Biz	Stone,	cofounder	of	Twitter

To	 turn	 really	 interesting	 ideas	 and	 fledgling	 technologies	 into	 a	 company	 that
can	continue	to	innovate	for	years,	it	requires	a	lot	of	disciplines.

         —Steve	Jobs,	cofounder	of	Apple	and	Pixar	Animation

I’d	 encourage	 [you]	 to	 think	 big	 and	 be	 delusional	 when	 setting	 goals.	 Yes,
delusional.	 The	 biggest	 mistake	 that	 I	 made	 with	 my	 first	 business	 was	 I	 didn’t
think	 big	 enough.	 I	 limited	 my	 success	 by	 just	 focusing	 on	 a	 small	 geographic
area	 and	 focusing	 on	 hitting	 small	 sales	 targets.	 Now	 when	 I	 set	 my	 goals,	 I
make	sure	that	they	are	ridiculous.	I	prefer	to	work	extremely	hard	and	fall	short
on	my	ridiculous	goals	than	to	achieve	mediocre	goals.

         —Warren	Cassell	Jr.,	Caribbean	entrepreneur

All	successful	people—men	and	women—are	big	dreamers.	They	imagine	what
their	 future	 could	 be,	 ideal	 in	 every	 respect,	 and	 then	 they	 work	 every	 day
toward	their	distant	vision,	that	goal	or	purpose.
