[Podcast Transcript]
Your mission is your internal engine. Without it, even good goals can feel empty. With it, ordinary days become meaningful, momentum builds naturally, and challenges feel more navigable because you’re anchored by something bigger than the task at hand.
Finding your mission isn’t about crafting a fancy statement. It’s about uncovering the truth already inside you. Read more

We discuss personal leadership on The BIGG Success Show. Here’s a summary of that discussion.
Your True North
We’re thinking about Christmas this time of year. One of the things we think about with that is the Star of Bethlehem. In the story of the birth of a newborn king, the wise men were guided by a bright star in the sky.
This Star of Bethlehem brought to mind the North Star, and that reminded us of Discover Your True North*, the wonderful book by Bill George.
In the book, true north is your destination, your BIGG goal. If your destination is BIGG success – Believing, Implementing, Goal-getting, Giving back success – you must be guided by a constant light. The light comes from your star.
The research shows people are led astray by the advice to “find your passion”. It makes it harder to discover one’s passion. So you get stuck. In fact, that’s a conclusion we came to years ago here on BIGG Success.
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?
Part 2: Listen
Don’t limit yourself to just your eyesight. Listen for business ideas.
What problems do people around you have?
What don’t they have that they would like to have?
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.
The wrong question is: How can I make money?
Successful entrepreneurs ask: What problem can I solve?
The simple technique is to look and listen for problems that need to be solved. Then find a way to solve them profitably and you’ll have a business idea that leads to BIGG success!

We discussed calling and your arena of service on The BIGG Success Show. Here’s a summary of that discussion.
This show was inspired by our last show, where we shared 5 easy steps to personal leadership. We had so much material left when we were done, we felt it warranted another show. We hope you agree.
According to the dictionary, “success” is the accomplishment of something you set out to do. But what if that accomplishment harms others? Is that success?
We think not. That’s why we talk about “BIGG success”, rather than just “success”.
BIGG success is inner peace which flows from three sources:
1) finding and fulfilling your calling
2) striving daily to reach your full potential
3) staying true to your vision and values
We want to talk about the first one today. BIGG success starts by finding and fulfilling your calling.
