“To be an overachiever, you have to be an over-believer.”
– DABO SWINNEY
I want to thank everyone who has already picked up a copy of my new book, THINK BIG TO WIN BIG, and especially those who have posted such positive reviews about the book. (See what readers are saying about THINK BIG TO WIN BIG here.) I can’t thank you all enough for your support!
For those of you who have not yet read THINK BIG TO WIN BIG, what follows is the book’s introduction. This gives more insight into what the book is about and reveals why amazing things start happening when you choose to think BIGGER…
Study the top leaders and achievers in any field—in business, in sales, in sports, in virtually any profession—and you will find there is one trait above all others that separates them from their competition.
The top achievers think bigger than everyone else.
They have big goals, big dreams, and big expectations for what they can achieve. They expect big results and they live up to those expectations.

Saquon Barkley talks about VICTORY FAVORS THE FEARLESS by Darrin Donnelly.
Last week at training camp for the Philadelphia Eagles, two-time Pro Bowl running back Saquon Barkley was overheard asking quarterback Jalen Hurts if he thought he was “fearless.”
Hurts replied, “Absolutely.” And the two had a brief discussion about why he felt this way.
In an interview with the media on Monday, Barkley was asked why he asked Hurts about being fearless.
Barkley said it was because he recently read and liked the book, Victory Favors the Fearless: How to Defeat the 7 Fears that Hold You Back.

OLD SCHOOL GRIT reveals the 15 unbreakable rules for building grit and achieving your goals.
Here are five of my favorite motivational quotes from John Wooden, the legendary basketball coach who ruled the NCAA tournament like no one else in history…
“The most important key to achieving great success is to decide upon your goal and launch, get started, take action, move! … The individual who is mistake-free is also probably sitting around doing nothing. And that’s a very big mistake.”
You can’t sit around waiting for conditions to be just right before going after your goals. While some preparation is obviously necessary, you will never have all the answers in advance. You will never reach a point where every step on your journey is mapped out perfectly. [continue reading…]
