Little Things Add Up to BIG Things

Why is it that some people are extremely successful in various areas of their life? Why is that some people always seem to achieve their goals, while others do not? You may have heard it said before that successful people do the things that unsuccessful people are not willing to do. So what are those things that successful people do?

Two authors that have eloquently & simply answered these questions are Darren Hardy, Publisher of SUCCESS Magazine and author of The Compound Effect, and Jeff Olson, author of The Slight Edge and internationally acclaimed personal development coach and business leader. Reading these two books has begun to change my life in dramatic ways. Doing the little simple things everyday really does make a difference. The little things are easy to do, but easier not to do. So the question is, do you really want to make your goals happen? If you do, then you must embrace the power of the "Compound Effect" in your life.

In the words of Jeff Olson, author of the The Slight Edge, "Successful people just do the things that seem to make no difference in the act of doing them and they do them over and over and over until the compound effect kicks in."

 

Jeff Olson continues on to say that, "The right choices you make today, compounded over time, will take you higher and higher up the success curve of this real-time movie called 'your life'. Every action that is easy to do, is also easy not to do. If you don't do them, you won't suffer, or fail, or blow it - today. But that simple error in judgement, compounded over time will ruin your chances for success. Position your daily actions so time is working for you instead of against you. Because time will either promote you or expose you."

• Do you have fitness goals you want to reach?
• Nutrition and diet goals?
• How about goals in your profession, business or financial life?
• What about goals relating to your family or relationships?

If you do, then COMMIT TODAY to take the small every day steps that will add up over time to something massive. This means, that one must cultivate patience and realize that there is no "microwave" for your goals. The "big break" happens when you have been doing the little things consistently. It rarely just happens out of nowhere. So if you cannot count on the "big break" to just happen, then it means you must start with the little things EVERY DAY!!

If you want to loose 20 or 30 pounds of excess weight, then waiting for yourself to just wake up one morning, having lost the weight, will not work. You must start taking the small steps every day to exercise, eat healthy & weight balancing foods, drink lots of water, reduce stress, and get a good night's sleep most nights.

If you want to increase your financial health, collect the coins and change that gathers in your purse or wallet everyday and put it into a savings jar. Pennies really do add up!! Make a plan for how you are going to pay off credit card debt, and stop using the credit cards to make new purchases. Make a plan and then take daily action steps to how you can increase cash flow into your household.
