Think BIGGER

You Are Thinking Too Small

What kind of job do you want? What kind of career interests you? How do you plan to pay your bills? What vision do you have for you life?

Most people would give these type of answers: “I want a career I enjoy” “I’d like to be financially stable” “I need more hours.” What’s stopping you from doing something big?

How They Did It

What would have happened if Mark Zuckeberg thought small? He was faced with a decision, in the early stages of Facebook’s development, whether to go back to Harvard or continue to grow his company.  With a little help from Sean Parker, he came to the realization that moving forward with Facebook was the best thing to do. With Facebook now being valued at around 33 billion dollars,  what the hell would have happened if he thought small?

What if Bill Gates thought small? He infamously took royalties on the operating system he developed back in the 70′s. What if he sold that system for a one time fee? Where would Gates be today if he did this?

It Starts With You

You are the one making the decisions for your life. Why don’t you do something big? But before you do anything, change your thinking. If you think small, you may become small. If you think big, you may become big. There are no guarantees, but there is no harm in trying.

Your Blog is Too Long

Keep It Simple Stupid

We have all seen an article or blog post that has a catchy title and starts out with an attention getting first paragraph. This leads to you surprisingly looking forward to reading the rest of the words on the page. But after 2 minutes of reading you look over at the scroll bar, on the right hand side of the screen, and realize (insert scary movie sound here) THIS THING IS LONG! And so we skip ahead or stop reading completely.

Communication is instant now. We live in a world where we need short quick information so much that our texts and tweets have character limits. I’m not taking 10 minutes to read a blog post, and I don’t know who would. If you can’t get your point across in less that 500 words, don’t bother. No one is reading.
