Fate will conspire against you
We want to be clear here – we believe that there’s no question about it…
You have a destiny to fulfill.
Fate wants you to succeed. But first…
It needs to know if YOU want to succeed!
So:
Fate will put obstacles in your way
Fate will throw challenges at you
Fate will do all kinds of thing to try to get you to quit, to give up
It’s all a test – will you remain stubborn in the pursuit of BIGG success?
If so, Fate will become your partner in BIGG success!
Stubbornness is your only hope
(And we’re speaking from experience here!)
There will be times along the way when you feel like quitting. You’ll be down. You’ll be out. You’ll feel horribly discouraged. You may have a sense of despair.
It’s at those times that you have to reach down and grab hold of the one thing you can count on – your stubbornness.
Stubbornness will keep you from giving up
Stubbornness will lead you out of the abyss
Stubbornness will help you find a way
Stubbornness will pull you up so you try one more time
Stubbornness is your only hope
Stubbornness leads to BIGG success!
Do you think stubbornness is a positive trait of successful entrepreneurs?
BIGG success is life on your own terms. It’s about taking control to build the life of your dreams.
You are where you are. You want to be where you want to be.
That’s the easy part. The hard part is getting there.
Because there’s a BIGG canyon between the two.
Picture it – you’re standing on a cliff.
You want to get to the other side. But how?
You have to build the bridge. No one will build it for you. You have to do it.
Only you don’t have the right materials to build a sturdy bridge. Nope – this bridge from where you are to where you want to be will be a swinging one.
So you go about building the bridge. And then you start to walk across.
Only, even then, even after all the work you did to build the bridge, the journey won’t be easy.
Winds
The winds will be strong. Occasionally, they’ll be at your back. Enjoy it while it lasts!
Sometimes, the winds will be in your face. You’ll have to summon even more energy to keep pushing ahead.
Then there are the crosswinds. They make the bridge swing from side to side. You have to hold on tight to keep from falling.
People
At times, there will be other people on your bridge. As they put one foot in front of the other, the bridge will sway.
They’re making it harder on you to make progress. They don’t mean to; they’re just trying to get across the chasm.
Others, well…they are intentional. They actively make the bridge swing; they want to throw you off.
They don’t want you to succeed. Beware of these people.
Energy
You expended a tremendous amount of energy to build your bridge. Now you just have to get across.
But you’re tired. It’s only natural.
You have to make sure you have enough provisions to keep your strength up. And occasionally you just need to stop and rest.
But then you’ll get back to your journey. Because you’re a winner!
You will keep going.
You will make it to the other side.
You will get from where you are to where you want to be.
You will reach BIGG success!
What obstacles have you faced on your swinging bridge to BIGG success?
Here’s a powerful saying we often say out loud to enforce the need for change:
If I continue to do what I have always done, then the best I can expect is what I already have.
One of the biggest challenges in reaching BIGG success is changing how you think.
Because your results follow your focus.
The direction of your focus
You can focus on what you don’t have. And your mind will go to work to keep you right where you are.
You can focus on past failures. Your mind will help you get more of the same.
You can focus on what you want to have. Your mind will go to work to help you get it.
You can focus up or focus down. Your results will follow.
The object of your focus
BIGG success is life on your own terms. Once you have your vision of the life that fits you perfectly, you focus must shift to a new object – your next milestone.
But that may be too much for your mind to wrap itself around. So focus on the activities you must do today move you toward your next milestone.
The milestone after that doesn’t matter at this point. Your end goal only matters to the extent it keeps you motivated.
Put all of your focus and energy solely on reaching your next milestone. The results you want will follow.
The timing of your focus
We just alluded to this, but it deserves special attention. Your focus shouldn’t be too far into the future.
The world is much too uncertain. You know where you want to go. You just can’t tell how you will get there.
So focus on the short run. Focus on today.
What actions must you undertake today to reach your next milestone? Focus on getting them done. The results you want will follow.
When you get your focus right, you can be a BIGG success every day!
