What is "too ambitious"?

Are there dreamers who overthink and never get anything done? Absolutely!

Are there also people who do what other people regularly say is impossible? Also an absolute yes.

Ambition has nothing to do with it. There are doers and there are talkers.

Ambition isn't bad on its own, but when it becomes a substitute for action instead of fuel for it, that's where things go sideways

Being too ambitious is a clever form of self-sabotage
