There’s an old saying, “I’m so poor that I can’t even pay attention.”
We’ll grant you it’s a funny one-liner. But here’s probably a more accurate saying,
I’m so poor because I don’t pay attention.
There are a lot of things competing for our eyes and ears. It’s important to focus on the right things to succeed bigg.
#1 – Pay attention to your finances
You’re the CEO (and the CFO) of the most important organization in the world – You, Inc. If you’re in a relationship, your significant other may take care of the financial duties. But the point is, just like any other successful organization, you want to make sure you have more income than expenses.
A lot of people don’t pay attention to their finances until there’s a problem – too much month and not enough money! Then it’s a much more difficult situation than if you pay attention all along.

#4 – Pay attention to yourself
This is probably the most important one. It’s vital that you keep yourself energized and inspired. George said that as a business owner, time is always so precious. At times, he would let days, even weeks, would go by without replenishing his spirit. He found that he needed to read or listen to things that kept the cobwebs out of his head and inspired him to keep pushing.
That’s one of the reasons we started Bigg Success … five minutes or so every day to get your mojo going! So pay attention to yourself by stopping by Bigg Success every day!
Our bigg quote today comes from Edward de Bono, who said:
judgments simpler through knowing what to pay attention to and what to ignore.”
It pays to pay attention to the things that pay off.
