On The BIGG Success Show today, we talk about how to get out of debt.

This show is inspired by a recent report on consumer debt levels by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. It shows that household debt in the U.S. hit a record high in the first quarter of 2019, up 8% from the previous record reached in the third quarter of 2008.

So if you’re in debt, you’re not alone. But debt can be good or bad. We believe debt is a tool. So today, we show you how to get out of debt and then, how to use debt to your advantage – to turn debt into wealth. Here’s a summary of that discussion…

The Values of Money

/0 Comments/in /by

your money and values in sync for BIGG SuccessHave you ever thought about the values of money?

If you read that question quickly, you may have missed a subtle yet incredibly important distinction:

The “s” in Values.

BIGG success is life on your own terms. You get there by taking control, as the entrepreneur of your life.

As an entrepreneur, you know you add value in the lives of others to create value for yourself. Value is a synonym for wealth or money.

But wealth comes in many forms. Some of the greatest riches you may experience have nothing to do with money. Are you rich?

Research shows that, at the lowest levels of the economic rung, money matters. A little additional money makes a huge difference in happiness.

But once basic needs are met, more money matters little. And the little bit it does matter doesn’t last long.

Every time you spend money, you reflect your priorities. That’s why it’s incredibly important to know what’s most important to you. So your values and your money are in sync.

Quite some time ago, we did a series of two shows on living your dream with purpose (Part 1, Part 2). In Part 2, we provide a worksheet that helps you identify what you value the most [pdf] and discuss how to use it.

After you’ve gone through the list, think about how you spend your money and your time, your other resource.

Is it reflective of your values?

If so, congratulate yourself.

If not, what one change could you make today to move the two closer together?

Aligning your values and your resources brings BIGG success.
