A Big Life or a Comfortable Life?

As I set up my office in Miami, I envision all of the opportunities that will be coming my way. From the new clients, to the new events I am attending, I picture how all of the pieces will come together. Then I stop, pause, and wonder, Am I thinking BIG enough?

Six months ago, I attended a seminar where the speaker said the #1 reason why businesses are unsuccessful is because the leader(s) lack vision and fail to think big enough. At that moment, I thought, “Yes, but I’m different. I know this. I preach vision and planning.”

However, if I’m honest with myself, the answer is I’m never thinking big enough. I’m not visualizing beyond what I think is really possible. And, you probably aren’t either.

Having a BIG life versus a comfortable life means looking at a set of circumstances and saying "Is that it? Is that all I can really do?" rather than "That’s it. That’s all that is possible with my current situation."
