Summary

While most of the business world worships size and constant growth, Big Vision, Small Business celebrates the art—and power—of small. Based on interviews with more than seventy small-business owners and on her own experiences as a successful small-business entrepreneur, Jamie Walters shows how a business can stay small and remain vital, healthy, and rewarding. 



If you long to run a successful, socially conscious enterprise as one element of a fulfilling personal life, Big Vision, Small Business shows you how. Covering growth options and small-enterprise advantages, inspired visioning, communication, and right-relationship, mindset issues and expectation management, and wisdom and mastery practices, Big Vision, Small Business is a must-read for every entrepreneur and futurist. Walters defines for keys essential to creating a small business with a big vision:

• Creating alternatives to the dominant definition of "growth

• Learning the art of visioning big

• Creating "right relationships" with employees, customers, and others

• Overcoming the common stumbling blocks, such as money, risk, competition, and success.

    Dwayne Johnson said, “All successes begin with self-discipline. It starts with you.” It was indeed, the attitude that brought The Rock to the top of his wrestling dream and, today, a successful actor. Dwayne Johnson is an example of someone with strong self-discipline as with many people who has a life career in the sports field. 
However, this does not just apply in that one section. The power of self-discipline can and should be applied to not just in career but also in life. A lot of people attribute to luck, background and many other things to success, but here, self-discipline is an important quality that is going to make you achieve your goals. It does not matter where you find your motivation: lack of discipline will not take you far.
