THE LITTLE THINGS! …
Do you want to succeed in the important areas of life?
Of course you do, everyone does; nobody deliberately sets out to fail.
I’m sure every couple that fell in love and married intended to live together
happily ever after. I’m also pretty confident that everyone who ever started a
new business intended to make money, be successful, and stay in business for
years to come.
But not every couple stays happily married and not
every business succeeds … in fact most don’t. So why is that?
In many instances it’s because somewhere along the way they haven’t paid
enough attention to the little things. In the case of the unhappy or dissolved
marriage for example there are probably many ‘little things’ that led to that
result, such as:
· Lack of understanding
of each other’s ‘personal values’ before making a long-term commitment to each
other.
· Lack of a clear,
mutually agreed upon ‘vision’ for their relationship and life to work towards
together.
· Not maintaining
meaningful communication through honest discussion and openness to
understanding each other’s thoughts AND feelings.
· Not being fully
‘present’ when communicating.
· Making assumptions as
to what the other was thinking or feeling.
· Not investing enough
time and effort to keep the romance alive.
· Judging each other’s
actions or intentions.
· Not respecting each
other’s individuality.
These are only a few of many ‘little things’ that, although
unintentional, over time can lead to the breakdown of a relationship.
Now let’s look at some little things that can lead to the failure of a
business.
· Lack of adequate
‘pre-launch’ research.
· Not understanding one’s
own strengths and weaknesses.
· Lack of a clear (but
flexible) vision and game plan.
· Lack of necessary
commitments.
· Allowing ego or emotion
to override common sense.
· Lack of focus on
customer / employee satisfaction and loyalty.
· Lack of focus on
continuous learning.
· Ignorance of, or
unwillingness to tap into, available outside resources.
Again, these are only a few of the many little things that can sabotage
a business but the point is that all the little things count … and just as they
count in a relationship or business, they also count in each and every other
area of your life.
If you’re trying to lose weight, the little things count.
If you’re a sales person building a client base, the little things
count.
If you’re learning to play a musical instrument, the little things
count.
If you’re trying to raise great kids, lower your golf handicap, be a
good friend, become more physically fit or just be a better person, the little
things count. It’s very seldom one big thing that creates success in anything …
it’s almost always a whole bunch of little things.
Unfortunately, it’s very easy to overlook or neglect these little things
because each one by itself may not seem that important … I mean really, what’s
the big deal, it’s only a couple of potato chips! It’s almost the end of the
day, what’s the point of making one more sales call now? I know I was going to
practice my scales today but there’s this great movie on TV, I’ll do it
tomorrow.
I’m sure you get the picture … and we’ve probably all been guilty at one
time or another. But here’s the thing Susan, if you want to succeed in
virtually any area of life you need to look after the little things.
So, in which areas of YOUR life are you intending to succeed? When is
the last time you paused to consider which ‘little but important things’ are
affecting your results? Which little things need your attention now?
Why not pick just one thing in one area and look after it. Then pick
another and do the same, and then another … but only one at a time to start
with so you don’t feel overwhelmed. Begin today, and before long you will have
developed a powerful new habit that will go a long way towards helping you
achieve success in any and every area of your life.

difference. A few simple disciplines can have a major impact on how your life
