Going BIG in 2007
It’s a new year, I’ve made it back from vacation, and I’m looking towards a great 365 days to come.
It’s funny how when January 1st comes around people all over the world make promises to themselves and others that “this year will be different.” New Year’s Resolutions to be successful, loose weight, and accomplish all the goals they weren’t able to accomplish the year(s) before.
Will 2007 be different for you?
I’m not making any goals right now, but I will say this. I’m going to “Go Big” in 2007, and begin to build, build, build the businesses I’m starting by thinking BIG.
I’m reading the new book by Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump about Why They Want You to Be Rich, and everyone knows that Donald Trump thinks BIG! Now thinking big is one thing but what The Donald does is also act big. He acts on his thoughts and goes for it. I feel like I already think big but I don’t act on those thoughts. I don’t put those thoughts into action.
Therefore I’m going to focus on taking all the knowledge I’ve gained through reading and doing over the past year and combine that with some big thoughts, turning them into actions, and GOING BIG!
I’m not divulging my goals just yet but I’m going to be shifting the main focus of this blog, which really has no focus right now, into a more helpful resource of information for others who want to think and act big while building businesses. Don’t worry, for those of you who like the personal stories I’m not going to abandon those personal experiences. Rather, I’m going to better organize and intertwine them into a central theme of building businesses and business systems.
I hope you all continue to follow my progress work towards being BIG in your own way.

I agree Dale. Most people have to make smaller changes toward a big change in order to keep up with it. Huge changes are hard to keep up with because you tend to fall back on the old routine, because it’s easier.
And yes, some change is better than none. I changed last year by taking on blogging and internet entrepreneurship. I learned a lot but didn’t make huge headway. This year I hope to dwarf what I did last year and make some big changes and accomplish a lot more.

Hey there!
I totally agree - you can’t get big unless you Think BIG. The toughest thing about thinking big is acting upon your thoughts. REALLY tough. Action is what separates dreamers from the great entrepeneurs of the world. Unfortunately, I’ll bet that 99% of the world’s best ideas never made it past the dinner table, and 50% never even made it to someone’s mouth.
BTW - thanks for stopping by! I look forward to seeing you around and hearing your big ideas/goals!

Gotta Go Big, I’m working on a few big ideas that just need me to pull the trigger.
Entrepreneurs have to go for it sometimes and that’s what I hope to do this year.
New tag line might be GO BIG IN ‘07

I think it’s good that people have “resolutions” even though most of the time these purported changes go down the crapper after a few weeks (or even a few months). It’s good because for those who actually are accustomed to writing goals and act upon them, at least there’s some kind of change even if they don’t accomplish everything they set out to do at the beginning of the year. Some change is better than no change at all.
However, A lot of people tend to make sudden drastic changes. This is the main reason why they give up on changing. A lot of people don’t understand that small changes on a daily (or even weekly) basis allows the mind to get accustomed and thus, the change itself becomes a habit. Rome, or anything that has any significant import (personally, financially, historically, etc.) for that matter, wasn’t built in a day.
Anyway, I hope you achieve your goals this year. I’m quite optimistic that I will.
