Breaking the Myth of the Lone Achiever
Shattering the myth of the lone achiever, the concept presents an individual as thriving within a web of potential influencers.

The Spillover Effect: Influencing Your Environment

The Star System: Shining Together
The Star System, as coined in ‘Big Potential’, implies a collective brilliance, where each individual’s potential is intertwined with those around them. Instead of shining individually, it suggests the notion of shining together, creating a more powerful luminosity. This perspective challenges the traditional concept of individual success, suggesting that true potential can only be achieved when individuals work together, thus amplifying their collective success…Read&Listen More
