About Us

What's a Big Fig Biz?

Let’s be honest, most of us started our businesses with big dreams and even bigger goals. At the core, we just wanted to give our families a better life than we had. So, we hung that proverbial sign up—we’re in business. But what we didn’t expect was for our “baby” to grow into a monster demanding to be fed, day in and day out. For many business owners, the reality of running a business can feel like being relentlessly chased by an angry bull while running around putting out fires every day - you're just trying to keep up!

Somewhere along the way, those big dreams we had for our families got buried under the weight of the business. We let the business consume our time, our energy, and our focus—thinking that’s what it takes to survive. But all the while, the real sacrifices were made by our families—who keep holding onto that whisper of hope: “Some day…”

A Big Fig Biz is about flipping that script. It’s about turning your business into a tool that fuels your personal dreams and goals, not one that crushes them.

Starting a business is easy. Keeping the business going can be hard. But at the heart of every Big Fig Biz is the simple truth that it’s meant to work for you, not consume you. Your business is how you’re going to provide for your family, set your kids up for a better life, and give them a future that’s just a bit better than your own. It’s your chance to take the dreams you had when you started this journey and turn them into reality—one step at a time, one choice at a time. You’re not just building a business, you’re building the future you dreamed of.

If your business ended tomorrow,
would your family feel loss—
or relief?

Fignificance of The FIG

Why a Fig?

'FIG' in Big Fig Biz is an acronym of 'Future Inspired Growth' but the fig tree and the fruit itself are a profound symbol across multiple dimensions—religiously, it speaks to enlightenment and abundance; socially, it represents unity and nourishment; personally, it signifies growth, rootedness, and discovery; and in business, it embodies resilience, collaboration, and legacy.

For Big Fig Biz, the fig tree becomes the perfect metaphor for intentional, future-inspired growth that balances personal development, professional success, and meaningful legacy-building.

It’s not just about business growth; it’s about nurturing something much bigger and deeply rooted in purpose.

Biblical Symbolism

Figs are prominently mentioned in the Bible, often symbolizing abundance, prosperity, and blessings. The fig tree is one of the first trees mentioned in the Book of Genesis, where Adam and Eve use fig leaves to cover themselves, symbolizing self-awareness and knowledge.

In a Big Fig Biz context, this can be seen as a representation of awakening to new possibilities and gaining wisdom to navigate challenges.

Biblical Symbolism

Growth and Abundance

The fig is often used as a symbol of fertility and fruitfulness in many religious traditions. It signifies the ability to bear fruit even in challenging conditions.

As a Big Fig Biz, this can translate to resilience and the capacity to grow your business even when the odds are stacked against you.

Biblical Symbolism

Tree of Knowledge

In some interpretations, the fig tree is associated with the Tree of Knowledge, connecting it to themes of enlightenment, growth, and understanding.

For a Big Fig Biz, this is like gaining insight into your business strategy and aligning it with your personal growth.

Business Symbolism

Resilience and Adaptability

Fig trees are highly resilient and can grow in a variety of climates. Similarly, businesses need to be adaptable and resilient in changing market conditions.

Big Fig Biz teaches strategies that equip business owners to survive and thrive in unpredictable environments.

Business Symbolism

Multiplication and Legacy

A single fig tree can bear hundreds of fruits each season, with each fruit containing multiple seeds. This represents not only growth but multiplication—a powerful metaphor for business owners who want to scale their impact, revenue, and legacy.

Big Fig Biz is about more than just growing—it’s about multiplying your success across various aspects of life and business.

Business Symbolism

Collaborative Growth

Figs have a unique relationship with fig wasps, which help them pollinate. This symbiotic relationship can be viewed as a metaphor for collaboration in business. Success often comes not from isolated efforts but from strategic partnerships and teamwork.

Big Fig Biz encourages this kind of community-driven, mutually beneficial growth among its members.

Personal Symbolism

Growth and Development

The lifecycle of the fig tree mirrors personal growth. It starts as a small seed, but with proper nurturing, it grows into a large, fruitful tree.

This parallels the journey of business owners who start with small ambitions but can grow something significant with the right support, as offered through Big Fig Biz.

Personal Symbolism

Rootedness

Figs are known for their deep roots, symbolizing stability and foundation. In personal development, this speaks to being grounded in values and purpose.

Big Fig Biz helps business owners build a solid foundation, rooted in long-term vision and intentional action, rather than chasing immediate results.

Personal Symbolism

Self-Awareness and Discovery

Just as the fig tree’s leaves were used for covering and protection in the biblical story of Adam and Eve, the fig also symbolizes self-awareness and discovery.

In Big Fig Biz, this relates to uncovering deeper insights into one’s business and personal life, finding clarity and direction.

Manifesto

What's a Big Fig manifesto?

In business, it’s easy to lose sight of what matters. A manifesto reminds us of our ‘why’—our purpose, our passion, and our potential. It emphasizes creating value and forging a future where your business fuels your personal goals and dreams. With Carpe Mañana as our guiding mantra, this is more than a statement—it’s a call to action for business owners ready to seize their future - because your future is defined by the choices you make today, not tomorrow!

Alignment-Carpe Mañana: At Big Fig Biz, our manifesto isn’t just about business success; it’s about aligning your business to fuel your personal goals and dreams.

Rediscovery: When the daily grind takes over, it’s easy to forget why you started in the first place. A manifesto is a guide back to what truly matters—your purpose, your passion, and the impact you’re here to make.

The Big Fig Biz Manifesto

This is your business. This is your life.

Do what you love, and let your business work for you—not against you.

If the grind has taken over, it’s time to take it back.

Step out of survival mode and start creating the future you imagined when you first started.

Your personal goals and dreams are your why.

Your business should support them, not steal them away.

Celebrate every win, no matter how small.

Momentum builds with every choice you make, every step you take.

Seize tomorrow by acting today.

Don’t wait for “some day.” Start making your business the tool for your dreams now.

Remember, winning is not just about money.

It’s about time with your family, peace of mind, and the freedom to live life on your terms.

Learn to ride the waves.

The ups and downs will come, but with focus and strategy, you can stay balanced and thrive.

Build something that matters.

Not just for today, but for the future you want for your family.

You are not alone.

Every business owner has struggled—but you don’t have to stay stuck.

This is your chance.

Your business. Your life. Your future.

Because your business should fuel your dreams—not crush them.

Under The Fig Tree Podcast

A place of reflection and revelation (John 1:48)

In Biblical times, fig trees provided natural shade and a cool, comfortable environment, making them ideal spots for gathering to share knowledge or engage in teaching.

In John 1:48, Jesus speaks to Nathanael, saying, “I saw you while you were still under the fig tree,” hinting at a moment of deep personal reflection.

Under the Fig Tree Podcast is a gathering place for entrepreneurs ready to FIG their future. Just as the fig tree was historically a place for teaching, learning, and meaningful discussions, this podcast creates a space for growth-minded business owners to come together, gain insights, and take steps toward building the future they’ve always dreamed of.
