Tip to those trying to figure out a business: think small

Just an interesting thought I had, maybe you guys will disagree.

In essence, most entrepreneurial people I talk to want to start something big. From starting an alternative energy power plant to trying to compete with big auto retailers, their thinking is obviously very unrealistic. But in their mind that's the type of business they want, BIG, BOOMING, EPIC. Granted, most of those people will never start a business, but i feel that if we can tell those people to be more realistic (in a nice way), they will have a much higher chance of actually starting something instead of always dreaming of instantly having the next Ford or Apple.

My advice to those people: think small.
