Vision | Bigg Success

Uncertainty abounds. Volatility is the order of the day. Stress is the natural by-product.
It’s a mad, mad, mad, mad world.

BIGG success is life on your own terms. It’s about entrepreneuring your life – taking control to create the life that fits you perfectly.

Entrepreneurs learn how to deal with entrepreneurial terror. Most people never experience it. Anyone who has never wishes it on anyone.

But you’re a BIGG goal-getter. You’re the entrepreneur in charge of an incredibly special enterprise – your life.

So you will learn to deal with the uncertainty, the volatility, and the stress.

But you can do even more for the most important people in your life.

You can be a source of certainty.

You can be a shelter against volatility.

You can be a partner in stress relief.

How?

In one simple term: steadfastness.

Seems like a tall order in an uncertain, volatile world?

It’s not.

You can be steadfast in two ways:

Your vision

Entrepreneurs know that they can’t predict what will happen. You have to create your future.

You should share your vision with the people who are affected by it. Your spouse. Your family. Your employees. Your customers.

Your destination can remain firm, even in times of uncertainty and volatility. Of course, the road you take to get there may change.

But keeping your vision constant gives comfort to the people who are part of it.

Your values

You can also be steadfast with your core values. Your core values are found where your passions meet your beliefs.

They define what’s most important to you. Living your core values unwaveringly calms the most important people around you.

People are soothed by predictability. By being steadfast in your vision and values, the people around you will draw closer to you.

They will help you achieve your vision within the framework of your values. Before you know it, you’ll reach BIGG success!

Bigg Success is not a two-seater. We love to hear from you. We’re so happy that you’ve been here to share your thoughts with us over the past two years.

Because it takes two to tango. We couldn’t do this if it weren’t for you. We thank you so much for all your support.

Bigg success is life on your own terms. It’s two for the price of one here. We feel so fortunate to be able to work together. That’s life on our own terms!

Now on to the topic of today’s post.

There’s a two-step in selecting your partner or partners. We got lucky on this one, even though we had two left feet! It naturally happened for us.

But don’t follow our lead. You probably want to be more intentional. There’s a dichotomy at play – your partnership must be two-faced.

The first face: You and any partner should be like two peas in a pod.
Partners must share the same vision and values or they will constantly be at odds with each other. For example, business partners must agree on whether you’re in business to create current income or to build long-term wealth. Your strategies will be quite different with these two different visions of success.

You also have to share core values. You will face some tough decisions on the path to bigg success. Partners with different core values may respond differently.

The second face: Two heads are better than one.
It’s important to have a shared vision. It’s important to have the same core values. However, if you share too many characteristics, your partnership will likely fail.

You want a partner with complementary skills. If you both have the same talents and strengths, you would probably be better off with a different partner. There won’t be much synergy in your relationship.

You also want a partner with a different point-of-view. You want someone who takes a different approach. Otherwise, neither of you gets a critical review of your ideas. You needlessly waste time and money because your bad ideas don’t get filtered out before you take action on them.

We think these principles apply to any partnership.
You can extend it as far as you want. It may apply to your partner in life, a partner in business, key employees or a joint venture partner on a specific project.

The key to building partnerships that aren’t two-dimensional is to understand this dichotomy when you select a partner. It’s critical for creating synergy which multiplies your results more than two-fold.

Get this right and you’ll get two tickets to paradise … partnership paradise, that is. And that’s bigg success!
