In Chapter 10 of the Generation BIG book, we note that “Every BIG person in this book dared to dream and chose to act. That is the essence of the BIG journey — dreams to action.”

I just read a great blog post by social media advisor Chris Brogan that frames dreams to action as “Tiny Revolutions.”

He writes, “Every step towards success requires a tiny revolution. Evolution is too subtle. Revolution is too drastic. In between, let’s add ‘tiny revolutions.’”

Here are some of the BIG ideas in Brogan’s article:

• You have to resist the temptation to settle for the status quo. In the book, we put it this way: “BIG people don’t let perceived limitations cloud their vision. They devise ways to think and work outside the box.”
• Continuous planning is essential. As we note in the book, “Where small people see a brick wall, BIG people envision a spiral staircase. They know, however, that they must have a plan to build it. That plan is not a static thing. It’s dynamic and evolving, and BIG people continuously refine it. They plan, revise, and plan again.”
• Tiny revolutions require commitment. Brogan writes, “You can’t dip your toe in a revolution. And at some point, there’s a line that you cross.” We couldn’t agree more. As we’ve connected with BIG people, we’ve seen this commitment rooted in deep passion for a cause. BIG people are on a mission, driven by passion. They feel called to what they are doing. This passion gives them the fuel to act.

Check out the Tiny Revolutions post and add it to your BIG playbook.
