The Lottery Entrepreneurs Sponsor

Written on April 3, 2012 by George Krueger & Mary-Lynn Foster in Entrepreneurship

We’re both addicted to news. And last week the news was full of talk about the mega-million dollar lottery.

Did you play? Millions did as the payoff hit a record level.

What would you do with that kind of money? It was the subject of much conversation as people talked about how their lives would change if only…

…my financial situation wasn’t holding me back
…I could buy whatever I want
…I was rich

Then…
…I’d be popular
…I’d be famous
…I’d have everything I ever wanted and more

Millions of people mentally escaped their everyday lives, if only for a short time. They could see themselves getting out of the drudgery, leaving a life of turmoil and stress behind, and living out their dream.

And it’s a positive thing. Many people just assume that tomorrow will be no better than today. To change that, you must first see a brighter future for yourself.

Unfortunately, the masses stop there. But you aren’t part of the crowd. You’re a BIGG goal-getter. You’re a winner.

So you will take charge to create your dream life. You are the entrepreneur of a very important enterprise – your life.

Today, we want to talk about an option you may not realize you have – you can sponsor your own lottery.

Let’s talk about the differences between state-sponsored lotteries and your lottery. For simplification, we’ll just refer to state-sponsored lotteries as “the lottery.”

Fantasies versus reality

The lottery deals in fantasies. As we said earlier, millions of people were thinking about what they would do if they won.

As an entrepreneur, your lottery deals with reality. You help people solve their most pressing problems.

Luck versus a guarantee

The lottery is based on luck. People pay money for the remote chance of winning.

As an entrepreneur, your lottery guarantees that the fortunate people you serve will win. All they have to do is accept the solutions you offer.

No value to most versus value to all

The odds of winning this lottery were about 1 in 176 million. The lottery offers no value to most of the people who play.

They give up their hard-earned money for what turns out to be a worthless piece of paper.

As an entrepreneur, you know that you have to add value in the lives of others to create value for yourself.

You provide the right solution for a small price. So with your lottery, everyone wins!

State-sponsored lotteries capitalize the fantasies of the multitude to reward the few.

As an entrepreneur, you do the exact opposite. Entrepreneurs invest to make everyone’s dream come true. That’s BIGG Success!

What differences do you see between lotteries and what entrepreneurs do?

The Key to Success in Just One Step

Written on March 30, 2012 by George Krueger & Mary-Lynn Foster in Personal Growth

We recently talked about how to conquer a paralyzing pair of fears. We closed by implicitly sharing the key to success. Today, we want to make it explicit.

We constantly see overnight successes. Yesterday, they were just part of the crowd. Now, they are the new sensation.

From the outside looking in, it appears as if they had a meteoric rise to the top. But as we know, perceptions can be deceiving.

Look closer and you’ll see a lot of hard work. Is that the key to success?

It’s certainly part of the recipe. But it’s too complicated for our purposes here.

Upon deeper inspection, you realize that these overnight stars have usually been honing their craft for years. Is time the key to success?

Once again, it’s almost always part of the mix. It takes more than 10,000 hours as we’ve learned. But even this goes beyond the real key to success as we want to explain it today.

Is it vision or goal-setting? These are certainly important, but once again it goes beyond what we want to talk about today.

We want to keep it simple. What is the simple key to success in just one step?

That’s it! One step.

You can be a BIGG success if you just take one small step. That’s it!

Most people never really do. Or they do but then they don’t follow up with another one.

But you’re not most people. You’re a winner.

So like other people who reach BIGG success, you will take one small step, then another, and another.

You will take thousands upon thousands of step in pursuit of your dream life. But you’re not worried about how many steps it takes. You focus all of your attention on the next one.

One step at a time. One after another. Step after step, you will inch closer to the success you dreamed of.

You will face obstacles along the way. You may step over them, through them, or around them. It doesn’t matter. The results will be the same. You will get by them one step at a time.

You will get frustrated and even fearful at times. Don’t worry. Just take one small step.

You will grow tired. Take a break, relax, and refresh yourself. Then take one small step.

What one small step will you take today?
