It was too wet and too windy to go running outside so I decided to hit the treadmill. I was playing around with the channels and found Field of Dreams on Film 4.
Well, it was brilliant. I hadn’t seen it in years. It was made in 1988 – obviously, I was just a baby then!!
For years, I’d reference Field of Dreams when I was doing online marketing training. I’d say ‘if you build they will come‘ was a myth. It only happened in the film.
What a good movie. Have you seen in it a while? You should.
However, there were a few other messages that ‘The Voice’ told Kevin Costner. I had forgotten them:
- Go the Distance
- Ease his pain
Now, I had totally forgotten those sentiments in the movie. Whenever you think of Field of Dreams we all just think ‘If you Build it, they will Come’.
And I got to thinking, we sometimes focus on one thing because it makes sense but put two other things into the equation and it can be so much more powerful.
If you build it, they will come + Go the Distance + Ease his Pain
As a business owner, I’m going to ask you, have you done something, built something, started something earlier in the year only for life to get busy and you never come back to it?

And as for Kevin’s character in Field of Dreams, the pain was always his. He fell out with his Dad and always wanted one more time to play ball with him. He got that at the end of the movie.
You’ll always regret the things you didn’t do, not the things you do.
