One of the last posts I wrote here was on dreaming big, and so, I thought I’d take my own advice. At least, that’s what’s happened in the last month. As I branched out a little further with my website design and maintenance business, adding hosting to it as well, I had a chat with my hubby about it. He, being a local computer technician, noted that many small businesses in our community do not have a website. It then occurred to me that perhaps I could be of service. My plan for a community based website, a one-stop website for our quaint little town, was born. And instead of just dreaming about it, I obtained the domain name, built the website and just spent a small fortune on direct mailers to the businesses in town. And then a friend of mine in media advertising offered to help get the word out a little later when I have more people signed up to the website.

I love our little town and I hope this website serves them well! I’m pouring my heart into it because I know we will all benefit if it does well. It’s kinda scary putting yourself out there but nothing ventured, nothing gained. So as the mailers get delivered, I hope people will see my vision and get on board. I’m dreaming big enough for a whole town these days!

So often, we put aside great ideas because of the risk of failure. What if I do this and I lose money? What if I do this and people gossip about me? What if I do this and then I have to be accountable for it? It’s amazing how fear filled thoughts can paralyze us. So today, I urge you to put feet to your dreams and big ideas. Even little steps today can make for big changes down the road. Today is a great day to seize the day!
