Right now, Elon Musk’s cherry red Tesla Roadster is cruising through outer space, somewhere beyond the orbit of Mars. A dummy named Starman is sitting inside the car, wearing a pressure suit and listening to David Bowie.
Musk launched his car into space last year, Starman dummy and all, as part of a test launch of his SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket.
Now, Elon Musk is clearly a smart guy.
But there are lots of other people in the world who are as smart as he is.
And yet, he’s the only one who has managed to make electric cars sexy…
And to then send them into space on a rocket built by his own private company.
In other words, there is something to be said for thinking big.
The more I learn about business, the more I realize many people do not think big enough.
Again, many people out there are smart. Many of them have honed valuable skills or expertise. And many are willing to work hard.
And yes, all of these ingredients are necessary.
But for making a big success, you also have to develop the habit of thinking bigger than you’ve been used to.
This can be surprisingly difficult.
And I feel that, past a certain point, it’s really the only thing that distinguishes people who have enormous success — like Elon Musk — from those who don’t achieve very much.
Now, I’m sure there are lots of psychological strategies you can use to get yourself to think bigger.
But ultimately, I think it comes down to a simple decision.
You can start to think bigger.
So why not start it now?
Anyways, that’s my pep talk for this Friday. In case you decide to start thinking bigger with your business, and you want help with marketing, you might get some good ideas from the following:

And one final point before I take off:
The starbound Tesla Roadster is on an elliptical trajectory around the sun.
The next time it gets close to Earth, it will be 2091.
The question is, where are you going to be then?
