EP16: 3 Irrefutable Signs It's Time to Play a Much BIGGER Game

As business leaders, we want to experience exponential results even during a pandemic. But the question is, are you committed enough? What if the growing pains and the upper-level flu that you're going through right now is an invitation to breakthrough? In this week’s episode, let’s talk about the irrefutable signs that it’s time to play a much bigger game. No matter where you are in your business right now, this applies to you. Keep reading.

Experience has taught me that the second half of the year can be the most significant part of the year. It's where I make the most amount of my revenue, especially in my industry. Whatever you put your intentions out for the beginning of the year, you can still create it. When you step up and declare that you're ready to play a bigger game, this is what's going to happen.

Sadly, somewhere along the process, most people fall out of the game because of the growing pains or what I call the upper-level flu. People take them as signs that they should stop, shrink, or hold off. When you decide to play a bigger game, you must let go of your old ways to make room for the new.

I talk about leveling up on almost every episode that I do because everything I do is about raising your game. And this is the part of it that matters the most. You have to be prepared for what comes your way when you're ready to play big. Most people are interested in 100k months, not committed to creating them.

“Committed people get results.” — Shameca Tankerson (09:45-09:46)

When you're committed to an outcome, there are no excuses. You act necessary to achieve the goal that you desire. But if you're just interested, you only do what's convenient. You allow life and business just to happen. You always have a reason why you can't do what it takes. 

Maybe you're thinking, "I should probably just plan for the second half of the year." That's an outside source that allows you to dictate how you show up in your life and your business.

Your breakdown moments are often an invitation to breakthrough. The thing that stops you from getting to six figures is the same thing that's going to try to stop you from getting to millions of revenues. If you feel a strong calling to play a bigger game, go for it without hesitation.  

As you expand, your capacity to receive larger sums of money starts from these outside experiences that seem like they have nothing to do with it. Me deciding to fly first class. Me deciding to get a housekeeper. Me deciding to invest in any programs that popped the container open for my six-figure months. I would like to argue that I probably wouldn't have done back to back six-figure months without those investments.

“It's important to be surrounded by a community that perceives your greatness and refuses to let you fail.” —  Shameca Tankerson (47:39-47:49)

Stop living inside this little box where you want to be filled with clients who pay you a thousand dollars. You want to outgrow the container that you're in. Your higher-level clients are looking for a place to go. But you're in the low place, expecting them to show up where you are. 

I want to encourage you to jump into bigger containers and watch how you rise to the occasion. To play a bigger game, I need to be surrounded by people who can help me navigate this new next level. Along the way, you'll notice that your circle of friends will fall away. You might get bored with the programs that you're in. They might feel less challenging for you. And there's something inside of you that's saying, "I'm outgrowing this thing!"
