Growth is
Incremental
I can’t
believe how many people are stagnant in their thinking. So many people will not
dream because they can’t even BELIEVE they will get there. They do not
understand that growth is incremental.
I am going
to use me as an example. I had to drive from Brockville to Milton yesterday. I
could have looked at it as a 380 km drive. Instead I broke it into several
small chunks, Kingston, Napanee, Trenton, Newcastle and then home! Instead of one long drive, I had 5 small drives!
Right now I
am looking at paying off a huge debt, if I looked at the end and only the end, and where I am
now, I may not even start. Instead, I look at my decreasing debt each month and
my INCREASING net worth each month.
I started
with my goal: eliminate my credit card debt. I stopped using credit cards. I
looked at my total net worth and swallowed. At the start of each month I review
my net worth. As my debts decrease, my net worth increases! At first it
crept. Now it is crawling. Soon it will be walking, then running and then
disappear, never to be seen again!
So here are
some tips:
- Plan out and break any project into smaller, measurable goals
- Work on that goal - whatever it is!
- Review your achievements on a regular basis
- Find any way to IMPROVE what you have done!
This is Darren Hardy’s Plan, Do, Review, Improve from The Compound Effect!
Keep your long term goal in mind and see how it starts too loom out of the darkness toward you!
Have a terrific
day!
Matt
