Think big, Dream Big, Go Big People

We all want to be productive, industrious and have fun. When we are young, we think we have all the time in the world to live our dreams and thus we defer things to later under the belief that we have time. I though have always been a think big, dream big and go big kind of person. I now realize that I probably could have even gone harder.

I thought I was an industrious person growing up. I had dreams and desires that I wholeheartedly executed on in order to achieve within my life. I wanted to graduate college, so I did the work to achieve that dream. I wanted to play in the NFL. I thought I had done the work to get it but unfortunately it didn’t work out.  I had made a promise to myself to keep progressing to my next goal or goals once an item had reached its natural conclusion. I keep the habit of asking myself: “what is next to live my greatest life?”

I never really thought about starting or owning a business as a young man. It just wasn’t something you saw growing up. I did however want experiences and things that I had not seen like a successful corporate career as both of my parents and grandparents were manual labors. I wanted to make my parents proud and I did that through the actions and behaviors I exhibited in my maturation process. I also wanted to buy or build a home that represented the fruit of my labor. We have one we love.

We all can look back and see that some of our friends and colleagues hit the proverbial glass ceiling at the end of high school and others of us blossomed into completely different people beyond high school. I also sadly watch people aging and not challenging themselves anymore. They are just wanting to “retire and die.” Not me! So, when my wife said let us start this networking business, and it aligned with our values and also allowed me to think big, dream big and go big once again? I was fully committed.

We all laugh a bit today when we think about the gems of knowledge that were handed down to us that we probably couldn’t comprehend or digest at the time, but now we look at them and go “man if I would have understood back then how thing might be different”. I would have started my side hustle years ago. And if you are like me, a think big, dream big, go big person, you agree.

Life is a real-time adventure that ebbs and flows constantly. We all like our patterns especially the comfortable ones: a safe stable job, plenty and consistent pay, safety, and shelter. Here now Covid throws a wrench into so called “safety.”  Yet think big, dream big, go big people are always thinking about the next thing, the bigger plan, how to not let the world control their safety. That’s why network marketing makes sense to people like me.

As I mentioned before, you only have right now so if you are in the first half of you life I urge you to go hard towards your goals, and start thinking bigger than you are today- I wish I had. If you’re in the second half of life guess what? I urge you to reawaken the fire in your belly and go hard to some goals. Those Andy Griffith re-runs will still be there, but you should want to close things out like a Boss.
