With St. Patty’s Day upon us, we have to ask: Do you have to be lucky with money to be a BIGG success?

Without question, the answer is…Yes!

If you’re a long-time reader, our answer may have surprised you. But there’s a difference between luck and dumb luck.

For example, winning the lottery is dumb luck. There is absolutely no skill required to win. There is skill required to keep what you win.

That’s why you see so many lottery winners end up worse off than they were before in just a few years.

Wait a minute…why is that, you say?

It’s because BIGG success is life on your own terms. A basic negotiating principle is that you get to set the price or the terms, but not both.

If you set the terms, BIGG success will set the price.

So if you define BIGG success as the possession of money, there’s a price to pay to for it. If you don’t pay that price upfront, you’re likely to pay it afterwards.

What do we mean by “price”? Great question! We’re so glad you asked it.

Have you ever said to yourself, “Why does everything have to be so hard?” That’s the price of BIGG success.

Here are two interesting things about price and BIGG success:

When you work hard to get your money,
you’ll work even harder to keep it.

This is the great money secret. It’s one of the BIGG separators – it’s what people who have created wealth from scratch know.

First and foremost, you have to protect your nest egg. You don’t have to be lucky with money to do that.

Before we move on to the second point, we want to share one more tidbit: It takes more than hard work today. The world is far too competitive to stand out just by working hard.

You must also foster and maintain a laser-sharp focus on the drivers of your BIGG success. We built the BIGG Success Entreprenurturing Center to help you with that. You can join for free!

Now we’re ready for the 2nd interesting thing about price and BIGG success:

When you work hard to get your money,
you gain something more important than money.

You want to see scared? Look at someone who inherited a fortune realize that it’s all gone.

They don’t have a clue how to create a fortune. They only know how to spend one. They are imprisoned by the fear of losing it.

When you create your own wealth, you know how you did it. So you know you can do it again if you have to.

Talk about peace of mind. You’re truly free!

Sure, things may have changed. But the basics of creating wealth remains the same.

You may have to learn how to use some new tools. You may have to think about a different industry. But the knowledge you have is likely transferable.

So to summarize:

• We believe that you make your own luck for the most part.

• We believe that people who are diligent are the “luckiest” people in the world.

• We believe that diligent people sometimes run into bad luck.

• We believe that BIGG goal-getters find a way to turn that around. It propels them to BIGG success!

What role do you think luck plays in BIGG success?
