You are working hard to make changes in your life, maybe you want to earn more money, start a new business or move up the career ladder. Will you be happy with just a small change? Or in your heart of hearts do you want to achieve massive results? If you want massive results there’s one thing you must do.

The secret to achieving massive results is thinking big!

Successful people think big. People who lead a mediocre life and get mediocre results think small. Successful people think big and put in just a bit more effort to follow through on their ideas.

Imagine you were going to give a seminar. You could give the seminar to 10 people, 100 people or 1000 people. How much more money would you make from giving the same seminar to 1000 people than to 10 people – it’s going to be at least 100 times as much!

Yes you’re going to have to work harder to organise the marketing, and you’ll probably need help, but you’ll get much bigger results with 1000 people in the room. On the day you’ll get 100 times the money, but the energy in the room and the excitement will lead to more results that will multiply that 100 many times more.

Giving a seminar is a simple example. But there are always opportunities to think big in everything you do. Just imagine what would have happened if Bill Gates had settled for building a small software company that did something with those obscure little PCs that IBM was developing. The world wouldn’t have the tremendous advances bought about by the pervasive nature of PCs that can talk to each other.

If you want to reach the moon, shoot for the stars

Even if you don’t hit your target, the very act of thinking big will change the way you approach your next challenge. You’ll take actions that will guarantee that you will make significant changes and you’ll reach greater heights than you would have done had you started out just “aiming for the moon”. If you don’t aim to go beyond your goal you run a big risk of not getting there.

Touch as many lives as you can

The secret to success in anything you do is to give as much value to as many people as you can in some area of their lives where it matters the most. By not thinking big you are depriving people of the potential benefit of the value you can bring into their lives.

So why would you choose not to think big? The most common reasons most people don’t take big bold steps are fear and a sense of being unworthy. Fear of failure, fear of ridicule, fear of rejection, even fear of success are all emotions that we use to protect our egos from potential harm. Unworthiness comes from past conditioning.
You can overcome these barriers by remembering that your life is not just about you. It’s about helping others to leader better and more fulfilled lives. You do not and cannot survive in our complex modern world without help from a huge number of people from all around the world. Staying wrapped up in your own ego is not an option, you need to get out of your shell and help as many people as you can. If you don’t do it then who will?

If you want to achieve massive results in your life, you need to think big. You may find that fear or self worth stops you from thinking big. Remember that if you think and act big, you’ll enhance the lives of more people. Don’t let negative thoughts hold you back – the world needs more big thinkers!
