We’re in the middle of a ten-part series about lifelong learning. So far we’ve covered the 3 R’s you learned in school, and the 3 R’s of BIGG Success. Now we’re going to talk about 4 great places to learn how to reach BIGG success.
Success is something that we all crave, but it’s hard to achieve. Why is this? Because we often don’t know where to look for it. We are told to network, read books, and work hard, but those are just a few of the many places where success can be found. That’s why we are going to share some other, more overlooked places to find success.
It’s Back-to-School time and we’re in the middle of a ten-part series on lifelong learning. We started by talking about the 3 R’s from our school days – reading, writing and arithmetic. Now we’re talking about the 3 R’s of BIGG success.
So far we’ve discussed two of them – responsibility and resiliency. Today we’ll chat about the 3rd R of BIGG success – relationships.
Today’s episode is made possible by Linq, digital business cards for modern networking. Make a lasting impression by sharing your contact information, and more — straight to someone’s phone or inbox.
We are living in the age of interdependence. It’s amazing how much can be accomplished by working together.
Relationships have always been important, and now it’s possible for any of us to build a worldwide network of relationships for work and play!
So look around. Watch the world in front of you. Observe.
What problem would you like solved?
What would you buy if only it were offered to you?
How could you improve what you already buy?

What experiences have they been dissatisfied with recently?
Let’s pull out the Professor’s whiteboard for: A simple technique to find your business idea.
Too many people who want to get into business ask the wrong question.
