Think Bigger. About Who You Are. And What You Offer the World. Stand for something before someone stands on you. Revolt against the play-it-safe, don't disturb the peace, cynical and silenced society that, more often than not, buries big thoughts. Michael Port, bestselling author and creator of ThinkBigRevolution.com, knows it's not always easy to think big. But big thinking must happen now; today, tomorrow, and forevermore. At this very moment, you are the change you want to see in the world--should you choose to accept personal responsibility. Devour every word of The Think Big Manifesto. It is the handbook to your personal revolution. You are more than you know. And you can do more with less than you think... Unhook from the guru track Learn how to be comfortable with discomfort Join people doing powerful things Be one of the big thinkers that others rave about This book, and life, is not a conceptual, theoretical experiment in how to do big things. No, this is just what you need if you're on, or want to be on, the path to doing big things and are willing to invest in your future. Join or incite a worldwide revolution that inspires others to follow. All it takes is one big thought and the revolution is unleashed. One thought, one person at a time, quickly followed by another--soon big thinking becomes the norm. Your big thoughts enable you to achieve greatness, be remarkable, and create a better world. Are you a member of the Think Big Revolution? If so, this is your Manifesto.… (more)

Product Description
It has become far too common that people never reach their full potential, their biggest limiting factor being the belief that they can only achieve small success. This is the result of small thinking. The Think Big Manifesto is a practical roadmap of how we can stop squandering our potential and learn how to break out of our mental boxes and think on a much bigger scale. Don’t just aspire to move up the corporate ladder, aim to be CEO. The core of the book will teach you the “Ten Principles” necessary for thinking big. Once you learn these principles you can use them to transform your professional and personal, day-to-day, life. Practical issues that will be covered:

• Work: Career Path Obstacles created/exacerbated by small thinking; Innovation curbed by small thinking; Teamwork destroyed; Strategy clouded; Tactics muddled; etc.

• Relationships: How small thinking leads to competition and division, to lack of generosity, empathy, vulnerability, the things that form strong bonds and create true cooperation and collaboration.

• Social World: How small thinking locks us into a divorce between our private and public worlds, the divorce of doing well in business and doing well for the common good.

• Personal Growth: How small thinking keeps us from embracing and developing our true passions, and the alienation and lack of fulfillment that results.

Stop thinking small. It's time to think big, achieve big, and realize your full potential.
