1. Do you think BIG…or small?
by Kent Spoerlein | on May 13, 2013
It is so incredibly important that you think BIG!
This simply cannot be emphasized enough.
Remember the law of income, which states, “You will be paid in direct proportion to the value you deliver according to the
marketplace.”
The key word is value. It’s important to know that 4 factors determine your value in the marketplace: supply, demand, quality and
quantity. In my experience, the factor that presents the biggest challenge for most people is the quantity. The quantity factor
simply means, how much of your value do you actually deliver to the marketplace?
Another way of stating this is, how many people do you actually serve or affect.

2. Do you want to work with small groups of 20 at a time or are you more comfortable with 100…or 500…or 1,000 to 5,000 or
more? Do you think there’s a difference in incomes based on the size of the group you work with? You better believe it.
How do you want to live your life? How do you want to play the game? Do you want to play in the big leagues or in the little
leagues, in the majors or the minors? Are you going to play big or play small? It’s your choice.
Most people choose to play small. Why? First, because of fear. They’re scared to death of failure and they’re even more
frightened of success. Second, people play small because they feel small. They feel unworthy. They don’t feel they’re good
enough or important enough to make a real difference in people’s lives.
But hear this: Your life is NOT just about you. It’s also about contributing to others. It’s about living true to your mission and
reason for being here on this earth at this time. It’s about adding your piece of the puzzle to the world. Most people are so stuck
in their egos that everything revolves around me, me, and more me. But if you want to be rich in the truest sense of the word, it
can’t only be about you. It has to include adding value to other people’s lives.
Do you know the definition of an entrepreneur? One is: “a person who solves problems for people at a profit.” That’s right, an
entrepreneur is nothing more than a “problem solver”.
So I ask you, would you rather solve problems for more people or fewer people? If you replied more, then you need to start
thinking bigger and decide to help massive numbers of people – thousands, tens of thousands, even millions. The by-product is
that the more people you help, the “richer” you become mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and definitely financially.
I see too many people playing far too small and too many people allowing fear to rule them. The result is that too many people
are not living up to their full potential – both to themselves and in terms of their contribution to others,
It’s time to stop hiding out and start stepping out. It’s time to stop needing and start leading. It’s time to stop sharing your gifts
instead of hoarding them or pretending they don’t exist. It’s time you started playing the game of life in a “BIG” way.
There’s no better time to begin than today!
