We discuss how to speak confidently on The BIGG Success Show. Here’s a summary of that discussion.
It’s a strange back-to-school season. A lot of firsts.
[Mary-Lynn] We want to share with you a story George shared with his students in his Entrepreneurial Finance class at the best school in the world – the University of Illinois.
[George] I remember the first time I taught my class. I had never taught before. I was nervous. Well, I survived the semester. The University always has students evaluate their instructors at the end of the semester. One of my students commented,
The value of a horse that wins the Kentucky Derby rises immediately and immensely. That’s because they’ll be in great demand for breeding. Being the direct descendant of a Derby winner is presumed to be a leg up in winning the bigg race.
Success breeds success.
But there’s a more important way to think about this old saying. Think about how success is achieved in the first place – one success after another, one at a time.
In other words, we become a success by breaking down the bigg success we desire into a series of little successes.
As we achieve these little successes, we gain confidence and momentum to reach the next level of success. So we keep pushing on. Before you know it, we’ve succeeded bigg! That’s why we say …
Success breeds bigg success!
So how do you start your string of successes leading to bigg success? Determine what bigg success means to you Create a clear picture in your mind of the life you want. That’s your bigg success! Use all your senses to visualize it as if it has already happened. Write it down and read it twice a day until it becomes etched in your mind’s eye.
Set achievable interim goals You want your goals to be clearly defined. Many people have “fuzzy” goals. You want measurable goals with a deadline. These goals should stretch you, but not too far. As you reach each goal, you’ll gain confidence and skills to reach the next one. That’s success breeding bigg success!

Be a goal-getter It doesn’t do you any good to come up with goals, or even to write them down, unless you go and get them. You’re a goal-getter, not a goal-setter! Before you know it, you’ll be a bigg success!
