Why “Thinking Big” Will Get You Everywhere

Filed Under Business Development, Personal Development

I’m reading an interesting book called “The Magic of Thinking Big.” In this book the author David J. Schwartz discusses how people can benefit tremendously if they approach things differently both professionally, and personally.

Ultimately, how one chooses to spend their time makes all the difference in the world. It has an impact not only on their results but on their financial payoff.Some individuals shy away from going after big challenges because they don’t feel confident in their ability to handle the situation. They may fear that they won’t be able to handle all of the details, or think they don’t know enough, or just be afraid they may embarrass themselves.

And you know what? Any of these scenarios could come true.

But, hey if you never try to do something… you’ll never know if you can. The bottom line is if you approach challenges with the right attitude, you can accomplish just about anything you set out to do.

I read this book years ago when I was pushing myself to find a big goal to set and accomplish so I could shine in my new job and make a big profit for my company. It worked. I’ve used this simple approach many times since then with continued success and would encourage anybody to give it a shot.

In his book, Schwartz reviews ways you can develop the skills necessary to discover and land your next “Big Fish.” How to overcome obstacles and how to develop the right mindset so you will be successful.

Here are some of the ideas he shares:

  • Why if you believe you can succeed … you will
  • Ways to cure yourself of excusitis, the failure disease
  • How to build confidence and destroy fear
  • How to think big
  • How to think and dream creatively
  • Making your environment work for you, not against you
  • Ways to grow attitudes that will carry you forward to success.
  • Practicing being the kind of person people like
  • Why it is important to be someone who does things
  • How to turn defeat into victory
  • How goals will help you grow
  • Think like a leader

Ultimately, Schwartz concludes, there is magic in thinking big, but it’s easy to forget. When you hit rough spots, it is easy to swing back into your usual ways of thinking–and when you do, you lose.

And he is right. If you would like your own copy of this powerful book, you can purchase “The Magic of Thinking Big” here.

Till next time, “Embrace life, have confidence in yourself, and take action.”
