Small steps will lead
to that big goal

» Go beyond the call of duty. Arrive early, stay late. Put in extra effort on the next project you complete for a client, especially one for which you're not being paid. You'll stand out from the herd, and be recognized and rewarded with far more than what you invest.

» Give people more than they expect. Under-promise, over-deliver. If you provide more value than what you're compensated for, then you will be rewarded with more than what you expected.

» Maintain the highest standards. Life will pay you any price you demand. You're the boss, but prove you deserve the best by demanding peak performance from yourself. Your team will adapt according to your standards.

» Do something meaningful for someone each day, something for which you won't get paid. This will teach your subconscious that you have abundance in your life -- the abundance of time, money, talent and emotions. If you never empty your glass, it will never be refilled.

» Do ordinary things in an extraordinary way. Don't be content with mediocrity. Whatever you think you are capable of, push yourself just a little more.

» When you know there is a better way to do something, do it! Don't hesitate. Take a step in the right direction and change one thing in your business today. Success is made of these small, incremental actions.

» Take a break, and recharge one day a week. It can be any day you like, but do it. My pastor takes Tuesdays off. My hair stylist closes her salon on Mondays. My day varies from week to week. Yours can too. Take the time to focus on your goals; the big picture; your relationships with family and your creator. Then you'll enter the new week recharged and ready for growth.
