Thinking BIG

I think I've mentioned Michael Port on this blog before. He is the author of a great book called "Book Yourself Solid," a must read for entrepreneurs, coaches and consultants.  His business story, which he lives and dies by, is "I'm the guy to call when you're tired of thinking small." Perfect.

Michael recently published "The Think Big Manifesto." He is determined to start a revolution, and I, for one, am all in. I want to share with you "The Code" that Michael lists in his book. You'll have to buy it yourself for the rest of the invaluable and inspirational message. Seriously, you want this book.

The Code, from "The Think Big Manifesto" by Michael Port.
0. Stand for Something (or Something Will Stand on You)
1. Overthrow the Judge (The Fraud Factor)
1. Collaborate (Trust Everyone. Almost)
2. Get Comfortable with Discomfort (If the Shoe Pinches, It Fits)
3. Promise and Fulfill (Say You Will...and Do)
5. Submit to Authority to Be an Authority (Listen More, Talk Less)
8. Live in Integrity (Does It Need to Be Said?)
13. Work--Hard (Being Warriors)
21. Have Fun (Yes, It's Okay)
34. Revolution Time (Stop Waiting for Godot)

What BIG thinks are you up to today? How is your business going to revolutionize the world? Are you taking baby steps or wide leaps of faith? What one think scares the devil out of you? What are you avoiding? Why? How would you feel if you could just make the jump into the unknown? Free. Alive. Scared. Invigorated. Isn't it time you found out?
