It may sounds obvious, but you have to allocate time to thinking about your big picture. It is all too easy to get bogged down in the details of your business. There is always something that feels more urgent.

Block off 1 or 2 hours every day as “big thinking time”. And make it time when you are most creative.

What you know is important. But also need to seek input from different people whenever you can.

There has never been a better time than now. With the internet, knowledge is more accessible than at any time in history. Read as much as you can and talk with others so that you can expand your big picture thinking.

Talk to the unusual suspects. Find people that disagree with you, challenge you, or tell you something you don’t know. Being challenged and having new information might change your thinking. And even if it does not, it will make you more confident in your existing decisions.

The big picture is just that – a big picture – a goal. And you need to have a clear picture of that goal.

But you also need to have a plan to accomplish that goal. Remember, the big picture is a journey. Break that journey down into the basic steps that you will need to do to achieve that goal.

Remember to leave a little room to be able to adjust to opportunities and possibilities along the path. Things change as you gain experience and learn new information. Your big picture should also evolve.
