go big
Aim for epic
Go big means to do something boldly, ambitiously, or on a large scale rather than holding back: We decided to go big on the wedding.
The phrase often appears in the fuller expression go big or go home, suggesting that half-measures aren't worth the effort.
It implies taking risks or committing fully rather than playing it safe.
