Think BIG.
![Page 6: The Magic of Thinking Big](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050904/5466dbbeaf795965358b511e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Build confidence in yourself. Action reduces fear, so act.
![Page 7: The Magic of Thinking Big](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050904/5466dbbeaf795965358b511e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Take small steps at first: Sit in the front everywhere you go, practice eye contact, walk 25% faster, practice speaking up,
smile big, use positive words.
![Page 8: The Magic of Thinking Big](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050904/5466dbbeaf795965358b511e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Think and dream creatively. Believe that it can be done
and then the mind finds a way to get it done.
![Page 9: The Magic of Thinking Big](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050904/5466dbbeaf795965358b511e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Be open to new ideas and be progressive. Stimulate yourself with diverse ideas from diverse
people. Capacity is a state of mind.
![Page 10: The Magic of Thinking Big](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050904/5466dbbeaf795965358b511e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
You are what you think. "The price tag you put on yourself, is probably the
same price tag that the world will put on you."
![Page 11: The Magic of Thinking Big](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050904/5466dbbeaf795965358b511e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Dress up. Think your work is important.
Think enthusiastically. Ask yourself if you are the type of manager that a subordinate would respect
and follow?
![Page 12: The Magic of Thinking Big](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050904/5466dbbeaf795965358b511e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Manage your environment because it is food for your mind.
![Page 13: The Magic of Thinking Big](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050904/5466dbbeaf795965358b511e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
People who tell you that it cannot be done are usually unsuccessful people.
![Page 14: The Magic of Thinking Big](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050904/5466dbbeaf795965358b511e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Make your attitudes your allies. Live it up. Broadcast good news.
Do better work than others expect.
![Page 15: The Magic of Thinking Big](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050904/5466dbbeaf795965358b511e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Remember people's names. Take initiative to build friendships.
Talk less. Listen.
![Page 16: The Magic of Thinking Big](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050904/5466dbbeaf795965358b511e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Get the action habit. Nothing happens just by thinking.
Start now.
![Page 17: The Magic of Thinking Big](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050904/5466dbbeaf795965358b511e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Do not worry about problems. You can handle them as they come.
Successful people handle problems as they arise.
![Page 18: The Magic of Thinking Big](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050904/5466dbbeaf795965358b511e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Turn defeat into victory. Defeat is a state of mind.
![Page 19: The Magic of Thinking Big](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050904/5466dbbeaf795965358b511e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Think that there is a way. If it does not work, then back off and start afresh.
![Page 20: The Magic of Thinking Big](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050904/5466dbbeaf795965358b511e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Use goals to help you grow. "The important thing is not where you were or
where you are but where you want to get."
![Page 21: The Magic of Thinking Big](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050904/5466dbbeaf795965358b511e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Know where you want to go. Visualize your future.
![Page 22: The Magic of Thinking Big](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050904/5466dbbeaf795965358b511e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Achieving success requires the help of others.
![Page 23: The Magic of Thinking Big](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050904/5466dbbeaf795965358b511e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Trade minds with the people you want to influence. "What would I think if I were that person?"
![Page 24: The Magic of Thinking Big](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050904/5466dbbeaf795965358b511e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Be human, and put people first.
![Page 25: The Magic of Thinking Big](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050904/5466dbbeaf795965358b511e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Think big enough to see that if you put service first, money takes care of itself.
![Page 26: The Magic of Thinking Big](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050904/5466dbbeaf795965358b511e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
