Should I think BIG or stay small? - GoFuckYourself.com

Should I think BIG (aim for a site with lots of partners and 1,000,000 images/files) or stay small with 1 or 2 sites and 50,000 images/files?

Big or small?

After Shock Media · 09-09-2007, 01:14 AM

Umm not sure of what sort of site your after, hoping it isnt another tube.

However keep this in mind.

There are pros and cons to everything and depends on the specifics of a business plan.

The usual throwaway cliche of being "big" is often the first aim for noobs, - whether there are is any qualifications, cred, finance or not - but reality can be different.

I've been doing this for awhile and have some modest skills. Something tells me that as long as I stay small in all my other projects it might be ok to aim high with just one of them.

I asked myself the same question yesterday... and then realized "Big" would mean surgery.

So I'll just stay small.

lol.

Want to be wealthy? Think big. Want to just make a safe living? Then you can consider thinking small.

GreyWolf · 09-09-2007, 01:42 PM

Believe me - "big" does not necessarily translate to being "wealthy"

Again - depends on whatever sphere of this biz you are working in - sometimes it may need to be big to be economically viable. Sometimes a one-man band plays a very profitable tune. Other times there is a happy medium in the middle with a number of staff.

Been at all ends of the scale in this biz, and spent time as a solo programmer, operated companies with 10-50 people and larger operations with around 1000 staff. The larger it is - it takes you away from what you thought you wanted to do - and this is replaced with being a "manager" on a daily basis.

Bottom line, you can earn the same "wealth" by working smarter - it does not necessarily mean "big"

OK, I'm gonna think BIG for my newest project. Now I gotta get some growth hormone for it...

tony286 · 09-10-2007, 10:07 AM

I think its better to have short term and long term goals. A 30 day ,60 day,90 day ,120 day and first year goal. Then a 5 yr and 10 yr goal.

peterk · 09-10-2007, 10:15 AM

Always think BIG and you will be big

Exactly !!

Small - keep your expectations low and you won't set yourself up for dissapointment when it works out well.

good luck

I got an email telling me that I can get bigger with a simple pill. I'm not buying it.

The question is too general.

Think small and wide.
