“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.
Whether we realize it or not, most of us are limiting ourselves—professionally, financially, physically, and mentally—by thinking too small. This is because we all live up to (or down to) our expectations.
If you’re not thinking big enough about what you want out of life and what you can achieve, you will never live up to your full potential.
They think big about their future, always enthusiastic about what’s ahead. They set big, exciting goals and they expect to achieve them. They have a big, positive vision for what life can look like and they expect to get there.
When you start thinking bigger, something amazing happens. Life starts meeting you at your new level of thinking. When you have a bigger, more positive vision of your future, you start experiencing a bigger, more positive life.
This book is about shifting your mindset to think bigger.
In this motivational fable, Sean Riley is a freelance sportswriter struggling to find steady work. Once an ambitious man with big dreams and goals, Sean has grown frustrated with his life and adopted a limited, cynical outlook about what he’s capable of.
But Sean gets a golden opportunity when he’s hired to write a feature story on Jay Porter, the unconventional NFL coach who has led his underdog team to the Super Bowl. The two weeks Sean spends with Coach Porter in the leadup to the Super Bowl will be two weeks that completely change his outlook on life.
As this story plays out, Sean learns the principles that separate big thinkers and big achievers from everyone else.
– Big thinkers believe success is a choice, determined by the size of one’s vision and their commitment to that vision. Small thinkers believe success is determined by lucky breaks.
– Big thinkers dare to dream big and aren’t afraid to take bold risks. Small thinkers play it too safe and fear what might happen if they aim too high.
– Big thinkers attach themselves to a bigger purpose and make short-term sacrifices to achieve a long-term vision. Small thinkers focus on “what’s in it for me” in the short term instead of what they can contribute to the larger objective.
– Big thinkers believe they are bigger than their problems. They rely on big passion and enthusiasm to power through adversity. Small thinkers get easily stressed out when facing adversity and allow short-term defeats to derail them.
– Big thinkers adopt a growth mindset and are constantly adapting to changing conditions while chasing bigger levels of success. Small thinkers fear change and are always looking for ways to coast and maintain.
– Big thinkers look beyond temporary setbacks and stay focused on the things they can control. Small thinkers worry constantly about everything that could go wrong and obsess over the things they can’t control.
– Big thinkers have a big, optimistic vision for the future. Small thinkers think it’s naive to be optimistic and tend to live in the past.
In this book, you will see how simple shifts in your thinking can lead you to new levels of success.
You will learn how to break through the common, limiting beliefs that hold you back from reaching your full potential.
You will discover how the size of your thinking ultimately determines the size of your success.
The size of your thinking affects every area of your life: your finances, your relationships, your physical health, your mental health, and your peace of mind. The bigger you think, the more successful you will be.
It’s time to start thinking bigger and reaching new levels of success in every area of your life!
