Small steps = big results

If you’re looking to make big changes in your life, career or business and wondering where to begin, you may be thinking too big.

Stay with me here…

I’d like to suggest that it’s the small things or small steps that can make…sometimes….the biggest change of all. It would get you into action.

What would be an example of a small step that you can take, that could make a difference to you right now?

Here are some examples to consider, depending on what you’d like to accomplish in your career or business:

• Reading a few minutes per day

• Breathing deeply before each meeting

• Not answering your employee’s questions right away – instead ask them a question

• Booking regular days in your calendar to work on a big project

• Review your goals each day

• Giving yourself some ‘thinking’ or ‘reflecting’ time each week

• Break down a quarterly goal into a monthly, weekly and daily action

• Drinking more water each day

• Move your body each day

• Reach out to someone in your network each day

Imagine if you had a month of small steps….small adjustments or additions to the way you did things now.

Where could you be a week from now, a month from now, 6 months from now if you took on any of these items?

• How many books could you have read?

• How is your stress level during meetings?

• How are your employee’s own problem-solving skills developing?

• How much progress could you make towards that big project?

You get it.

These small actions can have such a compounding effect, not only with HOW you get things done but even in your own confidence level and sense of accomplishment.

What small action would you like to commit to? I’d love to hear it.

NOW is YOUR time.
