Adopt practical grandiosity

Acknowledge your need to feel important and superior, so you can channel your ambition productively.

Concentrate your energy on a project, focus deeply, and break it down into goals that can be achieved in months, not years.
Don’t jump from one grand idea to another.

Let your imagination fly freely, then bring it back to reality during planning and execution.

Seek feedback and criticism and incorporate your learning points into future projects.

Continually seek challenges that are just above your current skill level.

Once you’ve tamed your need for grandiosity, cut yourself loose occasionally to consider much bigger challenges.
