From the Bachelorette to a Personal Development Leader with Eric Bigger - Catching up - 1 Year Anniversary Series
1 Year Anniversary Series - 12 Episodes in 12 Days Eric Bigger knows change doesn't happen overnight, and he's hoping to spread that same message. On Thursday, Eric posted side-by-side images with his "Bachelorette" cast photo from Rachel Lindsay's season in 2017 on the left and a current photo on the right. Other than a three-year difference in the pictures, Eric now has facial hair and an even bigger smile. In his caption, he wrote about the ups and downs it took to reach that place of genuine happiness and "purpose." He began, "Transformation is real! Change your mindset, change your energy, change your life. It took me seven years of pain, setbacks, failure, and rejection to become an overnight success. I experienced every emotion, I struggled to pay bills, I was overworked and underpaid, I didn't know who I was, but I had a burning desire to figure it out." Eric continued, "I spent countless hours studying, reading books, going to seminars, taking chances, praying hard, working diligently, and just curious about it all. And success happened to me, and it still is, and I'm still going and embracing all the fears and challenges that come with it." The 32-year-old wrote that he feels "truly blessed and grateful for life" and shared why he opted to write his book "Transformation," which he co-authored with Chris Randone. He said, "I published a book recently with the purpose and intention to help those in the discovery of finding themselves and purpose." Eric is all about promoting positivity, leadership, and overcoming fear.
