When life feels chaotic, it’s often because we’ve lost our sense of direction. The to-do list keeps growing. New opportunities pop up every week. Everyone wants a piece of your time. It’s easy to feel pulled in a dozen directions—busy, but not fulfilled.
That’s where your values come in. They’re your ultimate compass for creating the life you want.
In this week’s episode of The BIGG Success Show podcast, we reveal how defining and living by your values keeps you aligned, grounded, and calm—no matter how chaotic things get. Click the player to listen now. Read the summary below.
BIGG success is life on your own terms. It’s about entrepreneuring your life – taking control to create the life that fits you perfectly. That’s personal leadership.
Bigg Success is two years old today! What a two years it has been!

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!

John Wooden, arguably the best coach in the history of college basketball, developed the Pyramid of Success. It’s a wonderful tool to succeed BIGG in any endeavor you choose.
So far, we’ve discussed four rows of his Pyramid. Industriousness, Friendship, Loyalty, Cooperation, and Enthusiasm form the foundation. The second row consists of Self-control, Alertness, Initiative, and Intentness. The third row, which sits right in the middle of the Pyramid, includes Condition, Skill and Team Spirit.
The fourth row, which is also the second from the top, is made up of Poise and Confidence.
This week, we’ll look at the single block that sits at the top of the Pyramid.
