Think Big.
There is the story of how immigrant Jan Koum went from being on welfare to becoming a Billionaire. The WhatsApp co-founder worked as a janitor, dropped out of college, learned to code, landed a job at Yahoo and then quit to travel, co-started the mobile messaging app WhatsAPP and sold it to Facebook for $19 Billion and he is worth over $9 Billion at the time of writing my book “Secrets To Selling Software” available on Amazon Globally.
If you are going to think at all, THINK BIG!
