Stop thinking small. I woke up today pissed off. I got a message from a friend of mine who I'm trying to help his client with his marketing, and I gave everything to them on a silver platter. This is how you do it. Launch like this. You'll be successful. You'll have clients beating a path to your door. They'll be hustling to work with you. And instead, they want to go in a different direction that is so weak, so small-time, so confusing that this client is not going to get any results from it. And it pisses me off. It pisses me off that so many entrepreneurs don't see the potential in themselves to think big, to have a major impact, to change the world, and instead focus on these tiny little projects with no meaning, poor messaging, and that get zero results. And we're so resistant for some reason. This will change your life. Why are you hesitating? Why are you going the weak route? Are you afraid? What is it? I don't understand. Explain it to me. I came to the office, I was so pissed off. And I'm wondering, why am I so upset? You know, this isn't my business. Why do I care so much? I don't even like the client that his client that I'm trying to help. The guy's a tool. I don't even like him. Why am I so pissed off? Because I want to see my friend's business be successful. I want him to have massive success. And this guy is not just some guy off the street with no skills trying to figure out what he's trying to do. My friend has massive skills. He's really, really good at what he does. He could help a ton of people, have a major impact, make a lot of money, and for some reason he keeps thinking small. I don't know, I got back, I wrote him an email, I had the Gladiator music going, it was exciting, it pumped me up. We'll see what happens. I don't know, I don't know, maybe I should give up on it. I don't know what to do with him. Um, we'll see. But for you guys, listen, please stop thinking small. Please. You have abilities. Use them. Have a major impact. Change the world. Help a lot of people. You can do it. Stop getting caught up in these day-to-day tiny issues going in the wrong direction. Here's how to do it. 1, have some big goal that motivates you. Why did you start this business? It's for a reason. If it's just to make a lot of money, it's not going to happen. What drives you to get up and do something? If you have a big goal that you're shooting towards, it's going to motivate you to go and think big. 2, stop hanging around the people who don't believe in you. If people don't like your ideas, if people say this is not possible, if people say you're never going to make it, you dump those guys right away. If people don't believe in your big thinking, if your client comes back and says, "No, I like thinking small. I'm going to do it my way. This small thinking is great," dump that guy. He's never going to be great. And 3, start building up resources, people, connections that support you. Dump your old friends, find some new friends who support you. Read a famous entrepreneur's story that inspires you. Watch some of these videos. Build yourself up. Believe in yourself and surround yourself with tools, resources, people, ideas who also believe in you. Stop thinking small. You can do it. Believe.
