Slow But Steady Wins the Race

Small steps add up. Not only do they add up but they do so with a surprising quickness. The trick is, you have to take the small steps and do so consistently.

Last year, I started a weight loss plan. I was on pace to lose a pound a week. It didn't seem like much and soon, disappointed with the pace, I was back to my old habits. It was mid-June before a realized that if I had stuck to it, I'd be down 25 pounds! Small and slow can add up to big and lasting.

It isn't just true in weight loss. It is true in business and in your relationships as well. Small changes made consistently can make a huge different. A few extra calls a day can result in a few more sales each week. More sales each week can lead to bigger commissions each month. Making room for a weekly date night can improve your relationship quickly.

Slow progress is real progress. When you make changes slowly, they are more likely to be sustained. You can make massive changes and get fast results but will those results be sustained over the long haul?

Be patient with yourself as you move towards your goal. Celebrate the small successes and before long, you'll be celebrating a big success
