Anytime I post an article, my hope is that something I write causes others to think differently – if that happens, the post was worthwhile. But what really counts are the comments – a thoughtful response pushes everyone (the writer included) down the same path – only further. I’m grateful that everyone has started reflecting on their own business approach as result of this piece, because your comments have done the same for me. Thank you!

Love the simplicity and depth of your take on creating a business of value! Think big, act small is easy to remember and a lifelong task to implement. Just the kind of solutions I LOVE! I also believe that the reason it is so difficult is that it requires of us that we free ourselves from blockages in both directions. Some of us are afraid of thinking big and being let down, so we do not let our dreams soar or our business plans get too hefty. Others might be great on the big picture but afraid of really being out there doing the things we need to, feeling vulnerable and faced with real-life challenges. To think big and act small, we must be aware of our own susceptibility to fear either end of the equation. A great reflection you have started me on, Ed. Thanks!

Then, of course, you have the principles from The Art of War (amazing how much that little book pops up in your mind eh?). If big, appear small. If small, appear big. Always adapt and, above all, beat your opponent before you ever step out on to the battlefield.
Great blog, thanks!

Gordon, thanks for your comment. I’m glad this post resonated with you.

It’s exciting to think what will happen if more companies (big and small) start to think big and act small.
