5 comparisons working at home and in an office.

Working from home and working in an office are two vastly different experiences. Both have their own unique pros and cons, but which one is better? In this blog post, we’ll explore 5 comparisons between working at home and working in an office.

  1. Commute

The commute to work can be one of the most stressful parts of the day for some. Working from home eliminates this stressor, as your commute is as simple as walking to your workspace. In contrast, those who work in an office have to deal with traffic, public transportation, and the weather.

  1. Dress Code

One of the biggest perks of working from home is the ability to wear whatever you want. No more suits or ties, you can work in your pajamas if you want to. This level of comfort is not available to those working in an office, as they must adhere to a certain dress code.

  1. Distractions

Working from home can be a double-edged sword when it comes to distractions. On one hand, you have the freedom to work without interruptions from coworkers. On the other hand, distractions at home can include children, pets, and household chores. In an office, distractions can come in the form of meetings, conversations, and noise from other coworkers.

  1. Schedule

Working from home allows for more flexibility in terms of working hours. You can take breaks when you want, and work at times that suit your lifestyle. In contrast, an office job generally requires working a set schedule, with little to no flexibility.

  1. Social Interaction

Working in an office provides opportunities for social interaction with coworkers. This can be beneficial for networking, building relationships, and even improving morale. Working from home can be isolating, as there are fewer opportunities for social interaction.

In conclusion, both working from home and working in an office have their own unique benefits and drawbacks. It ultimately comes down to personal preference and lifestyle. Which one do you prefer? Let us know in the comments!

The Miller Mindset: Resilience, a Mindset of Growth!


The Miller Mindset: Episode # 0017

Welcome to “The Miller Mindset”, a weekly podcast where we explore the power of positive thinking and its impact on our lives. Join me, Chris Miller, as we dive into such topics as goal- setting, overcoming obstacles, and developing a growth mindset. If you’re looking to improve your life and reach your full potential, then this podcast is for you. Don’t miss an episode. Be sure to subscribe today!

On today’s show, we will be discussing building resilience in the face of adversity. Life can be tough and sometimes things don’t go as planned. However, it’s important to remember that setbacks and challenges can be opportunities for growth and development.

Let’s start off with defining what we mean by the word resilience. Resilience is the ability to bounce back from difficult situations and come out even stronger for having gone through them in the first place. Resilience is that willingness found deep down inside of you to face challenges head-on and not give up in the face of adversity, even though it might be hard, or scary to face it. Building resilience is a skill that can be learned and developed over time, and it’s something that we all need in order to thrive in life and in business.

So, how do we build resilience? First and foremost, it’s important to develop a positive mindset. This means focusing on the good things in life rather than dwelling on the negative. It’s about looking for opportunities to learn and grow, even in the face of challenges. Don’t focus your energy where that energy will be wasted. Focus on the road ahead of you. Too often, I witness people who fail at something and then obsess over that failure for long periods of time before they make any moves to the next opportunity. Meanwhile, while they are sitting there wallowing in self-pity and self-doubt, they aren’t doing anything to actively pull themselves out of that place so that they can start being successful again.

Look folks, I get it. Business is hard. Life is hard. But you know what, if it wasn’t hard you wouldn’t be interested in doing it. That’s a fact. Think about your life for just a moment. Whenever you have had things that came easy to you, did you put much effort into them for very long? Did you work to improve on them and push them to become everything they could be? Did you have any interest at all? For most of you listening, if you’re honest with yourself you’ll say no. But now let’s look at the flip side of that for a moment. When something you had broke, and you could try to fix it or just go buy a new one, how many times to you choose instead to sit there for an hour or longer trying to figure out how to fix it instead of taking 20 mins to go to the store and buy another? If your honest, you know you have. Why is that? Why do we do it when we know it is easier to just buy the new one? We do it because it is a challenge to be conquered. It is the goal before us to take what is broken and make it whole again. It looks doable, so even if it takes us hours to get it right, we want to get it right and get it done.

Now. . . ask yourself:

“why am I not willing to put in the same effort with my business?”

Success is No Accident

Whatever you want in life, you can get it with the right mindset, training, and direction.

Resilience means doing the work to bounce back in the face of adversity. So what. . . something you worked on broke. So what. . . something you pitched didn’t work out. Get over it and try again. Reach out to that next guy on the list. Try a new variation. Get the thing working again. That’s resilience. That’s what it takes to be successful. Everything we do isn’t always going to work. If it did, we wouldn’t put much effort into it. That being said, you can’t get the excitement and the joy from closing that big deal you have been working on without putting in the hard work to get it. Without the hard work, the payoff doesn’t hold any meaning. There would be no excitement.

Another important factor in building resilience is having a support system. This could be your friends, family, colleagues, or even a therapist. Having someone to talk to and lean on during difficult times can make all the difference in the world when you are struggling because they will remind you of why you are working so hard for it in the first place. They can keep your focus and keep you on track if you tell them what’s going on. So don’t be shy. Reach out to your support group and keep moving in the right direction.

Now, let’s talk about some easy tips for recovering from setbacks. I’m going to give you two of them here that will help you recover quickly when things try to derail you..

#1 – Take a step back and evaluate the situation.

Ask yourself what went wrong and what you can do differently next time. This will help you learn from the experience and avoid making the same mistakes in the future. Here is a bit of advice with that however. Don’t take very long to do this. There is a fine line between thinking through a problem and dwelling on a problem. Evaluate it, and then let it go. See what you can learn from the failure, and incorporate that into the next endeavor. But then, like I said, let it go and move on.

#2 – practice self-care.

Take time to do things that make you feel good, such as exercising, spending time with loved ones, or indulging in a favorite hobby. This will help you recharge and regain your strength so that you can face the challenges ahead. Are you aware that the most successful and powerful people in the world take time out of each day to go and exercise, or take a walk in the park, or do some other activity (any other activity) in the middle of the work day just to stay sharp and focused? Ask yourself, do you do that? Do you even take time to unplug and go to lunch, leaving your work behind when you do? How many vacations have you taken over the years where you wife or husbands got annoyed with you because while they are wanting to spend time with you, you are still working on the call, or just having to “send this one more email and then I’m done, I swear.”

You need to take better care of yourself and not get over worked. When things get tough or when funds get tight, this can be difficult to do. I will tell you it is even more important in those situations. You do yourself no good if you are stressed because that stress comes out to everyone you meet. If they sense you desperation, they don’t feel confident in working with you. So leave that desperation at the gym and then go get back to work.

Looking for a Good Start in Business?

Conclusion

Well, that’s our show for today folks. I hope you enjoyed the show today, and perhaps even got something useful out of it. Remember, building resilience is all about developing a positive mindset, having a support system, and being willing to learn and grow from the setbacks you face. Don’t forget that setbacks are not failures but opportunities for growth and development. So, stay strong, keep pushing forward, and know that you have what it takes to overcome any challenge that comes your way.

    The Miller Mindset: Know your Mindset’s Impact on Growth Performance


    The Miller Mindset: Episode # 0016

    Welcome to “The Miller Mindset”, a weekly podcast where we explore the power of positive thinking and its impact on our lives. Join me, Chris Miller, as we dive into such topics as goal- setting, overcoming obstacles, and developing a growth mindset. If you’re looking to improve your life and reach your full potential, then this podcast is for you. Don’t miss an episode. Be sure to subscribe today!

    On our show today, we’re going to talk about a topic that’s incredibly important for anyone looking to succeed in business. When it comes to business performance, your mindset can have a huge impact on your rate of success or failure. You may have heard the saying “whether you think you can or you can’t, you’re right.” This quote is from Henry Ford, the founder of Ford Motor Company, and it emphasizes the power of mindset and how our beliefs can greatly impact our actions and outcomes. It suggests that having a positive attitude and believing in oneself can lead to success, while a negative attitude and lack of belief can lead to failure.

    This is absolutely true in the world of business. If you approach challenges with a negative mindset and assume everything will go wrong, you’re setting yourself up for failure. On the other hand, if you approach challenges with a positive, can-do attitude, you’re much more likely to succeed.

    So, how can you cultivate a positive mindset? One way is to focus on gratitude. Take a few minutes each day to think about what you’re thankful for. This can help shift your perspective and help you approach challenges with a more positive attitude.

    Another key component of a positive mindset is resilience. When things don’t go as planned, it’s easy to get discouraged. But if you can bounce back from setbacks and keep moving forward, you’ll be much more likely to succeed in the long run.

    Of course, it’s not always easy to maintain a positive mindset. Sometimes, you’ll have to work hard to shift your perspective. But the effort is worth it. By cultivating a positive mindset, you’ll be better equipped to handle the ups and downs of business and ultimately achieve success. But the concept of shifting one’s mindset from negative to positive is easier say than done, isn’t it.

    When you’re in that moment, the one where nothing is going right; or when you realize that you have to start all over again on a project you have been working on all day, or week, or month, shifting your mindset to a positive one can be down right hard to do. I know. I’ve been there same as you have. We all go through it from time to time. That’s what makes us human, and helps us learn and grow. These trials are important, so look at them as the true learning opportunities that they are, and not as the derailment they present themselves to be.

    Success is No Accident

    Whatever you want in life, you can get it with the right mindset, training, and direction.

    Here are three tips to stay motivated when those blah days try to derail your efforts.

    #1 – Break down your long-term goals into smaller, more manageable tasks.

    When you’re feeling unmotivated, it can be overwhelming to think about everything you need to accomplish. By breaking down your goals into smaller tasks, you can focus on making progress one step at a time. This can help you feel more in control of your situation and give you a sense of accomplishment as you check off each task. Additionally, taking the time to break down the steps needed to accomplish your goals can help you identify any potential roadblocks that may be standing between you and progress. But you’re saying, “That’s great Chris, but how do I get motivated in the first place? Just breaking down my goals isn’t going to do that for me.” You’re right! It won’t do that for you, but it will get your brain thinking about the next move which means it will pull you back into work mode and get you started again. For motivation, we talk about step #2.

    #2 – Focus on your “why.”

    When you’re feeling unmotivated, it’s easy to lose sight of why you started pursuing your goals in the first place. This slows you down, and allows doubt to set in. Doubt is a productivity KILLER folks. Never allow it a chance to breathe. When it comes to doubt, remember this one piece of advice. Either it kills your dreams, or you kill it. It’s really as simple as that.

    Does that mean everything you do will work because you choose to believe without a shadow of doubt that it will? Of course not. Not everything we do is going to succeed. It just isn’t. But if you allow yourself to doubt, your chances of that thing succeeding are zero. So don’t do it. Don’t allow yourself to doubt or to feel depressed. Don’t allow the weight of your problems to take hold of you and zap your energy. Instead, take some time to reflect on your reasons for pursuing your goals and remind yourself of the bigger picture. This can help you regain your sense of purpose and motivation. You might even consider creating a vision board or other visual representation of your goals as a reminder of why you’re working so hard.

    #3 – Find an accountability partner.

    Sometimes, having someone to hold you accountable can be incredibly motivating and productive. This could be a friend, family member, or even a professional coach or mentor. Share your goals with your accountability partner and ask them to check in with you regularly to see how you’re progressing. Knowing that someone else is invested in your success can help you stay motivated and on track.

    Here at The Miller Firms, we have a personal/virtual coaching program hybrid which is probably the most advanced I have seen. It provides a guided progression from understanding where you are to getting you to where you want to be. Along the journey, the system reaches out to you on a regular basis to keep you motivated, on track, and accountable to your own purpose. If you fall away, it pulls you back. If you need help, it set’s you an appointment with your coach who can help you get back on track. For real growth, and success, this accountability and guidance is so vitally important.

    Working from home can be a dream come true for many of us. No more rush hour traffic, no more stuffy office cubicles, and no more dress codes! However, it can be challenging to stay motivated and productive when you’re in the comfort of your own home. Fear not, because with these 5 fun tips, you’ll be having more fun working from home than you ever did in an office.

    With these 5 fun tips, you’re sure to have more fun working from home than you ever did in an office. So, go ahead and enjoy the perks of working from home while staying productive and motivated.

    Here are 5 fun tips for having more fun working from home than in an office:

    1. Create a Comfortable Workspace: If you’re going to be spending most of your day working at home, you might as well make it comfortable. Invest in a comfortable chair, a good desk, and add some personal touches like pictures or plants. This will make your workspace feel inviting and inspire creativity.
    2. Take Breaks: It’s easy to get caught up in work and forget to take breaks. However, taking breaks is crucial for staying productive and avoiding burnout. Set a timer for every hour or so and take a quick break to stretch, go for a walk, or grab a snack.
    3. Dress Up (Or Down): One of the perks of working from home is that you can wear whatever you want. However, dressing up (or down) can have a big impact on your mood and productivity. Try dressing up in your favorite outfit or pajamas to boost your mood and productivity.
    4. Listen to Music: Music can be a great way to improve your mood and productivity. Create a playlist of your favorite songs or try listening to some classical music to help you focus.
    5. Connect with Coworkers: Just because you’re not in the same physical space as your coworkers doesn’t mean you can’t connect with them. Schedule virtual coffee breaks or happy hours to catch up and stay connected. You can even organize virtual team-building activities like online trivia or game nights.

    In conclusion

    Working for yourself can be a powerful and beneficial choice. It gives you the freedom, flexibility, and opportunity to create a life and career that truly reflects who you are and what you want to achieve. With these 5 fun tips, you’re sure to have more fun working from home than you ever did in an office. So, go ahead and enjoy the perks of working from home while staying productive and motivated.

    In episode 14, we talked about the American Revolutionary War, and the colonists’ unwavering shared mindset of victory which ultimately resulted in the independent Nation we all know today. I ran out of time last week though to go through some of the most important aspects of the show that I wanted to, so today we’re doing a follow up. We’re going to dive deeper into how you can achieve your own victories and I’m going to give you a simple 5 step process to get everything you want!

    This is a follow up to Episode 14: Independence Day 2023, which you can view by clicking here.

    Here is a Simple 5 step process to get everything you want!


    Step 1: Define your goals clearly and specifically.

    Identify what you want to achieve and why it matters to you.

    Defining your goals clearly and specifically is the first step towards achieving success. When you have a clear understanding of your goals, you are better able to focus your energy and resources towards achieving them. You can also measure your progress and make adjustments as needed to stay on track. It is important to take the time to think about what you truly want and why it is important to you. This will help you stay motivated and committed to your goals, even when challenges arise. So, take the time to define your goals clearly and specifically, and start working towards achieving them today.

    Step 2: Develop a plan of action.

    Break your goals down into smaller, manageable steps and create a timeline for completion.

    Developing a plan of action is the next crucial step towards achieving your goals. To make it more effective, it’s important to break down your goals into smaller, manageable steps. This helps to avoid feeling overwhelmed and makes it easier to track progress. Once you have identified the steps, create a timeline for completion. This will provide a clear roadmap towards achieving your goals and will help you to stay on track. Remember to review and adjust your plan as needed to ensure that you are making progress towards your goals.

    Step 3: Stay focused and committed.

    Keep your goals in mind, and stay motivated by reminding yourself of why they matter to you.

    Staying focused and committed is non negotiable if you want to achieve your goals. One effective way to do this is by keeping your goals in mind, and constantly remind yourself of why they matter to you. When you feel unmotivated or distracted, take a moment to reflect on the bigger picture and how your goals fit into it. This can help you regain your focus and stay on track. Additionally, it’s important to be patient and persistent in pursuing your goals, even when faced with obstacles or setbacks, which, if you are doing things right, you will face along the way. By staying committed and dedicated, you can overcome challenges and achieve the success you desire.

    Success is No Accident

    Step 4: Learn from your mistakes.

    Don’t be afraid to make mistakes and use them as an opportunity to learn and grow.

    Learning from mistakes is a another crucial part of personal and professional growth which cannot be overlooked or ignored if you want to achieve victory. By analyzing what went wrong and identifying ways to avoid making the same mistake in the future, we can develop new skills and knowledge that help us become more successful. It’s also important to remember that mistakes are a natural part of the learning process and everyone makes them. Embracing the learning opportunities that mistakes provide can ultimately lead to greater success in all areas of life, so instead of fearing mistakes, try to view them as opportunities for improvement.

    Step 5: Celebrate your victories.

    Take time to acknowledge and celebrate your achievements, no matter how small they may be.

    Celebrating can take many forms, such as treating yourself to something you enjoy, sharing your success with friends and family, or simply taking a moment to reflect on your progress. By celebrating your victories, you create a positive environment that encourages further growth and success.

    I like to think that celebrating your victories is an important step in keeping your head in the game, and more than any of the other 4 on this list, keeping your mind right along the journey is hands down the most important thing to do if you want to achieve victory.

    The American Colonists proved how vital that was then, and it is just as vital now. By taking the time to acknowledge and appreciate your achievements, you reinforce your motivation to continue moving forward. Even small successes can be cause for celebration, because they demonstrate progress and build confidence.

    In my Facebook group, you can look it up and join if you like under groups and then Working At Home, for example. Every Monday we do a Money Day Mondays Challenge to help our group get motivated for the week ahead of them. My thing is that you should strive to make money right out of the gate for the week because it sets up the rest of your week for success. If you are striving to make money on the first day of the week, all of that work output that you put into that task until you achieve it, even if some or most of it results in no sale that day, it is still out there creating energy that will flow back to you maybe the next day or the next week.

    The point is to keep your head in the game by making it a game to see what you can do, all while simultaneously putting out more work output that will come back to you down the line. Then celebrate those little victories. Get loud. Shout it out and spread the word of what you can do and show others that it can be done. Inspire them to achieve their own victories by witnessing yours and knowing that it is achievable.

    The How, When, and Why of using Special links like nofollow and sponsored
    Special Hyper Links: How and When to Use Them

    In the vast landscape of website links, it’s crucial to understand the differences between various types of links and when to use them. In this article, we” discuss the purpose of links for the internet and search engine optimization, how they are used, and try to demystify three common link types: nofollow links, sponsor links, and regular links. By the end, you’ll have a clear understanding of each type and know when to employ them effectively. Let’s dive in!

    Subscribe now as we continue to examine all of the best business tools, skills, and practices to boost your business success.


    Let’s Start with How Links are Used by the Internet.

    Search engines play a crucial role in helping users navigate through the vast amount of information available. Behind the scenes, search engines rely on web links as virtual roadmaps, guiding them to relevant content and pointing users in the right direction.

    The Significance of Web Links:

    Web links, also known as hyperlinks, are the foundation of the internet’s interconnected nature. They connect web pages, creating a vast network of information. Search engines recognize the importance of web links as indicators of relevance, credibility, and popularity. Here’s how search engines leverage web links:

    a) Crawling: Search engines employ automated programs called crawlers or spiders to traverse the web. These crawlers start their journeys from popular websites or sitemaps and follow links from page to page, discovering new content and indexing it for future retrieval.

    b) Indexing: As crawlers follow web links, they gather information about web pages and index them in the search engine’s database. This process allows search engines to quickly retrieve relevant results when users enter queries.

    1. Link Signals: A Roadmap to Relevance

    Search engines use various algorithms and metrics to assess the quality and relevance of web pages. Web links act as powerful signals that help search engines understand the relationships between different web pages. Here are a few key link signals search engines consider:

    a) Quantity and Quality: The number of links pointing to a particular web page is an indicator of its popularity and importance. Additionally, the quality of the linking sources plays a crucial role in determining the credibility and authority of the linked page.

    b) Anchor Text: The text used in hyperlinks, known as anchor text, provides context and relevance to search engines. When a link’s anchor text aligns with the content of the linked page, it reinforces the page’s topic and enhances its visibility in search results.

    2. Search Engines and User Experience:

    Search engines strive to provide users with the most relevant and useful results. Web links play a pivotal role in delivering a satisfying user experience by guiding users to the information they seek. Here’s how search engines leverage web links to enhance user experience:

    a) Ranking: Links contribute to search engine ranking algorithms, helping determine the order in which results appear. Websites with a higher number of quality links from reputable sources tend to rank higher, ensuring that users find the most reliable and informative content.

    b) Discovery of Related Content: Web links enable search engines to discover related and relevant content. By analyzing link patterns and relationships, search engines can recommend additional pages, articles, or websites that align with the user’s search intent, expanding their knowledge and exploration.


    Now let’s take a look at the various link types and when to use them.

    1. Nofollow Links:

    Nofollow links are an essential tool in managing your website’s link profile. When a link is marked as nofollow, it tells search engines not to follow that specific link for ranking purposes. Typically, nofollow links are used in the following scenarios:

    a) User-generated content: Websites that allow users to contribute content, such as comments or forum posts, often employ nofollow links to mitigate the risk of spam and maintain search engine credibility.

    Example: “Thank you for your insightful comment! Please remember to include a nofollow link when referencing external sources.”

    b) Paid advertisements: Whenever you have a sponsored link or an advertisement on your website, it’s crucial to mark them as nofollow to comply with search engine guidelines.

    Example: “Check out our amazing sponsor! Remember, all sponsor links on our site are marked as nofollow.”

    2. Sponsor Links:

    Sponsor links are a type of paid link that often appear as a result of partnerships or collaborations. These links should be marked as sponsored or nofollow to ensure transparency and comply with search engine guidelines. Sponsor links are typically used in the following scenarios:

    a) Sponsored content: When you publish an article or blog post that includes paid content or product placements, it’s essential to mark the associated links as sponsored or nofollow.

    Example: “In partnership with XYZ Company, we present this sponsored article. All associated links are marked as sponsored.”

    b) Affiliate marketing: If you participate in affiliate marketing, where you earn a commission for promoting products or services, it’s important to disclose and mark affiliate links as sponsored or nofollow.

    Example: “Disclosure: This article contains affiliate links. By using these links, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.”

    3. Regular Links:

    1. Regular links, also known as dofollow links, are the standard type of links used across websites. They contribute to your website’s SEO efforts by signaling to search engines that the linked page is relevant and trustworthy. Regular links are typically used in the following scenarios:

    a) Internal linking: When you connect different pages within your website, internal links help search engines understand the structure and hierarchy of your content.

    Example: “For more information, check out our comprehensive guide on internal linking best practices.”

    b) Editorial content: Regular links are commonly used when referencing authoritative sources, studies, or relevant articles that add value to your content.

    Example: “According to a recent study by ABC Research, incorporating regular links in your content can significantly improve user engagement.”

    It's the 4th of July, so on today's show, we're talking about none other than the American Revolutionary War mindset of victory.
    A Shared Mindset of Victory – Independence Day 2023


    The Miller Mindset: Episode # 0014

    Welcome to “The Miller Mindset”, a weekly podcast where we explore the power of positive thinking and its impact on our lives. Join me, Chris Miller, as we dive into such topics as goal- setting, overcoming obstacles, and developing a growth mindset. If you’re looking to improve your life and reach your full potential, then this podcast is for you. Don’t miss an episode. Be sure to subscribe today!

    It’s the 4th of July, so on today’s show, we’re talking about none other than the American Revolutionary War mindset of victory. From the early thoughts of independence to the final battle that cemented the new nation, this is a story of perseverance and determination. So let’s get into it.

    A Shared Mindset Toward Victory

    The mindset of a people can be the deciding factor in overcoming oppressive governments. This was especially true during the American Revolutionary War, where a common mindset was crucial for victory. The colonists up and down the chain, from the farmer in the field, to the district leaders they charged with their wellbeing, everyone had to be united in their belief that they deserved independence and were willing to fight for it. Without this shared mindset, the revolutionaries would have been unable to rally together and fight against the powerful British army. It was this collective mindset that enabled the colonists to persevere through challenges and ultimately secure their independence. The American Revolutionary War serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of a shared mindset in achieving a common goal, especially when facing daunting challenges.

    The American Revolutionary War about so much more than a mere military conflict It was about this shared belief, this shared mindset that together victory was possible. With this shared mindset of victory, our forefathers and mothers would be able to stand up against oppression, against overwhelming odds, and actually stood a chance to achieve the victory they were fighting for; what they believed in their hearts was possible. It was a mindset that the American colonists held tightly, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles.

    A Mindset of Steadfast Belief

    From the early thoughts of independence to the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783, the colonists’ mindset of victory never wavered. They knew what they were fighting for: freedom, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And they were willing to fight to the death for it. Ask yourself if you have ever held such conviction for something you wanted.

    Have you ever been so set to a task’s accomplishment that you would risk it all to achieve it?

    Sometimes, when the stakes are high, your mindset needs to be so dialed in and unwavering like that in order to accomplish the goal and achieve the victory you seek; even in the midst of unprecedented opposition. If the leaders of the American Revolution had failed to maintain this shared mindset of victory during this extremely hard-fought conflict, doubt would have seeped in. Loyalties would have waned. Descent would have run rampant until the entire thing fell apart. As it was, throughout most of the war, the Revolutionaries lost more battles than they won. It was only through their mindset and shared belief in their faith that it was worthwhile to achieve that they remained steadfast until the tide changed in their favor.

    The Revolutionary War was not won overnight. Think about that for a moment if you will as it relates to what must have been going through their minds at the time. This was a long and grueling conflict. It was a conflict that lasted for eight years in fact. The colonists faced numerous challenges, from a lack of resources and supplies to a powerful British army. But they persevered, and they never gave up hope; always believing that victory was possible.

    Many historians will tell you that they got lucky. Many will tell you that they shouldn’t have won and that it was only because of a series of mistakes and of underestimating them by the British Army Commanders in charge that they didn’t lose the war and get hanged as traitors to the Crown. Many Historians will tell you that, but as a history fanatic and student, I don’t agree with those Historians at all.

    Luck is a Matter of Mindset

    I believe that we make our own luck in this world through hard work, and dedication to the task. So for that reason, in my estimation it is solely because of this dedication to their shared belief, this shared mindset of victory, that the Revolutionaries were able to keep going, to keep pushing forward, to keep getting back up after their friends, brothers, sisters, and yes even their children were killed time and time again in front of them. It was because of this shared mindset of victory that they were able to wear down the British forces, capture the hearts of the French who agreed to help them in the fight at such a crucial point of spiritual need, and fight on to the victory they knew in their hearts was worth fighting and laying down their lives for.

    This shared mindset of victory, for the reasons that I have discussed here today, was so strong, and so overwhelmingly ingrained into the hearts of all at the time, that the achievement of that mindset of victory still lies in the hearts and at the core of every American still to this day. We grow up with this belief, and we are raised to believe that we can do anything when we band together as a people; and when we put our undying faith into our convictions. The American Revolutionary War mindset of victory is still celebrated today as a symbol of American patriotism and resilience every year on the 4th of July, which serves as a reminder to each of us each year that with this hard work, determination, and an unwavering belief in ourselves and each other, anything is possible. God Bless America.

    5. Think Bigger:

    Thinking bigger is a crucial aspect of succeeding in business. It involves having a vision beyond the current state of affairs and taking bold actions to achieve it. The business models of Henry Ford, Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, and Donald Trump provide excellent examples of the power of thinking bigger.

    Here are 4 examples of Big Thinkers you should get to know as you seek to grow your business and become a BIG Thinker yourself.

    BIG Thinker #1: Henry Ford

    Henry Ford revolutionized the automobile industry by introducing the affordable assembly line, which allowed for mass production of cars at a lower cost. While he was not the first to come up with the assembly line, he was first to do it right. He thought bigger than his contemporaries and aimed to make cars affordable to the masses, which ultimately transformed transportation as we know it today and make the ford automobile a staple in the American automotive landscape for generations to come.

    His contributions to the automobile industry are undeniable. With his bigger thinking, Ford was able to see the bigger picture and realize that making cars accessible to a wider range of people would lead to a significant shifts in transportation. Thus, Ford cars became more affordable and available to the masses, easily overtaking the competition. Ford’s innovative approach to manufacturing not only revolutionized the automobile industry, but it also set the standard for mass production in other industries such as with airplanes and even aerial mail delivery services. His legacy continues to shape the way we think about manufacturing and transportation still to this day.

    BIG Thinker #2: Andrew Carnegie

    Andrew Carnegie is known for significantly transforming the steel industry which led the Advancement of the Industrial Age in America. Not satisfied with the compartmental method of doing things that his predecessor and competitors were all comfortable doing with their business model, Carnegie thought bigger. He implemented a strategy of vertical integration which allowed him to consolidate control over the production process, from mining raw materials to transporting finished products. This approach gave Carnegie’s company a competitive advantage by streamlining operations and reducing costs to the point that no one could compete with the speed by which he was able to churn out finished products at an unbeatable rate. But big thinkers think big in more ways than one, and Carnegie had a global vision for his business. Having conquered the mountain in America, Carnegie set his sights on expanding his operations beyond the United States and into Europe and Asia, becoming one of the first global organizations in the World.

    Carnegie’s philanthropic efforts were also noteworthy. He believed that the wealthy had a responsibility to use their resources to benefit society, and spent BIG on that as well. He donated a substantial portion of his fortune to causes such as libraries, education, and peace initiatives. He even had the former President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, on his payroll. His legacy lives on to this day through the many institutions and organizations and monumental structures throughout the world that still bear his name. His approach to business and philanthropy continues to inspire people around the world today as well.

    BIG Thinker #3: John D. Rockefeller

    When you think of overall BIG Thinkers, the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion would have to be John D. Rockefeller. He was a shrewd businessman who aimed, not just to compete and get ahead of his industry, to to take the whole think and hold complete dominance in the oil industry forever.

    To achieve this goal, he established the Standard Oil Company, which eventually became the largest oil refinery company in the world. Rockefeller’s strategy was to acquire smaller competitors, which he did through aggressive buyouts and mergers, usually through the use of other people’s money such as George Westinghouse because believe it or not, Rockefeller was dirt poor! Big thinkers don’t allow little things like lack of resources stand in their way though, so he brokered deals and get the backing from those who could help him achieve his goals while he helped them achieve their own.

    He established a network of pipelines and refineries to ensure that his company had complete control over the production and distribution of oil. This allowed him to not only dominate the market but also to set the prices of oil. With this move, Rockefeller could start making demands from former partners such as Westinghouse as an example. He insisted that all train lines use Standard Oil on their railways and any that didn’t would find themselves out of business. Standard oil became the biggest, and most profitable industry in the Country, making Rockefeller incredibly wealthy. Despite criticism and antitrust lawsuits, Rockefeller continued to expand his business and cement his place in history as one of the most successful industrialists of his time.

    BIG Thinker #4: Donald J. Trump

    Turning now to a more recent BIG Thinker, Donald Trump didn’t start off poor as Rockefeller did, but his ambition was always to do more and be go big. Trump’s dad had been in the Real Estate Development business for many years, building housing and Apartment Tenements throughout New York. Donald however, had other things in mind. He didn’t want to be in his father’s Shadow. He didn’t want to settle for Million Dollar properties. He wanted more. He wanted to Build an Empire. So he set his sights on Big projects on 5th Avenue, and he got the City of New York to put in the majority of the money to pay for it. By 1988, at only 42 years old, Donald Trump had wealth in excess of more than $3Billion to his name.

    Success as a real estate developer alone wasn’t going to cut it for Trump however. This guy thinks BIG! He eventually decided to explore other industries such as entertainment, hospitality, and education. Through his brand, Trump was able to create a global enterprise that made him a household name and a prominent figurehead in the business world. He even had his own Board Game (and Trump Action Figures)!

    Trump’s ability to diversify his business and brand demonstrates his entrepreneurial mindset and his willingness to think BIGGER than the other guy, take risks in pursuit of success, and pursue his goals relentlessly. This approach ultimately helped him become one of the most recognizable business leaders of his time, and secure his name forever in History as a President of the United States of America.

    In Conclusion

    Thinking bigger is a critical aspect of succeeding in business. It involves having a vision beyond the current state of affairs and taking bold actions to achieve it. By examining the business models of Henry Ford, Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, and Donald Trump, we can see the power of thinking bigger and the impact it can have on the world we live in. By putting the 5 principals discussed in this blog series, you too can achieve everything you want in this world. There is no stopping you when you think Bigger than the other guy.
