let everyone else call your idea crazy, just keep going, don't stop, don't even think about stopping until you get there, and don't give much think of where "there" is.
People work better when they know what the goal is and why.It is important that people look forward to coming to work in the morning and enjoy working.
I think it is often easier to make progress on mega-ambitious dreams. Since no one else is crazy enough to do it, you have little competition. In fact, there are so few people this crazy that I feel like I know them all by first name.
