A Perfectionist is chasing an illusion it doesn't exist in business
Ruble Chandy

Why do some entrepreneurs build thriving empires while others stay stuck, recycling the same hopes year after year? The difference isn’t just in strategy or talent. The real game-changer is how they dream. In today’s hyper-competitive world, dreaming isn’t a soft, feel-good concept, it’s your ultimate weapon for growth. But not just any dream. The size of your dream reflects the size of your belief in yourself. And that belief shapes your identity, your choices, and ultimately your results.
If you want to move from wishful thinking to unstoppable action, it’s time to rethink what dreaming really means.
Most people think of dreams as the outcomes they want: money, success, health, or freedom. But according to Ruble Chandy, that’s just the surface. A dream is much deeper, it’s an expansion of your identity.
A dream is how you see yourself in the future. Today, you may see yourself as a certain type of person. But when you dream big, you project a bigger, better version of yourself. That vision pulls you forward. It becomes the engine that drives your choices, your habits, and your persistence.
On the flip side, people without dreams often feel small. Think of someone who’s depressed—they can’t imagine a better future self. They see a shrinking version of who they are. That’s why dreams are so essential: they are proof that you believe in your ability to grow.
Big dreams alone aren’t enough. Here’s where most wishers fail, they stay stuck in the dream phase, feeling good about possibilities but taking no meaningful action.
The solution? Chunk your dream into small, tactical 3-month goals.
✅ Start with your big vision. See clearly the person you want to become and the business you want to build.
✅ From that vision, ask: What’s one small, achievable goal I can hit in the next 90 days?
✅ Focus and execute. Maybe it’s learning to sell. Maybe it’s mastering public speaking. Maybe it’s building your first team.
Think of your growth like this: at first, it might feel slow or even invisible. You might feel stuck on a plateau. But all the effort you put in during these phases is compounding under the surface. And when the time is right, that invisible growth will launch you to the next level.
Here’s the hard truth: if you’re not dreaming, you’re not believing in a better you. Without that belief, it’s easy to fall into stagnation. You might still work hard, but it feels like you’re running in place. Life becomes a series of tasks instead of a thrilling journey of becoming.
But when you do dream—and dream boldly—you ignite your inner power. Even if you don’t achieve your exact dream, the process of pursuing it transforms you. You become more resilient, more capable, and more fulfilled.
The risk isn’t in dreaming big. The real risk is in not dreaming at all.
In this powerful episode, Ruble Chandy breaks down the ultimate difference between winners and wishers. Winners dream big because they see a future where they have grown into a larger version of themselves. But they don’t stop at dreaming, they break those dreams into small, actionable 3-month goals. They take consistent action, knowing that growth is not always visible at first. And through that process, they become the person they were destined to be.
If you’re ready to scale your business, your impact, and your life, start by asking yourself: How big is my dream? And what will I do in the next 90 days to move toward it?
