Be Progressive

Take a long hard look at your business. Are you in the same place you were last year? If so, you have not made any progress - and have just wasted precious time that you will never get back.

Being progressive means to take small consistent steps that add up to big ones. It means that you are slowly (but surely) making your way to success.

You may be losing money on your business, but if you're losing less and less each month - you will eventually break even, and then hit profitability.

You may not have as many clients as you would like, but if you keeping offering that unforgettable customer service - the word will get around.

Tom Joyner and Oprah may not have called you back to be on their shows, but if you're doing interviews on smaller radio shows - you will eventually become the go-to person for your industry.

Your book may not be on the bestseller's list, but if you keep pushing it at small functions - you will create a demand that bookstores and readers can't ignore.

Remember this always: Moving forward slowly is better than not moving at all. A thousand mile journey starts with the first step!

So, be progressive and don't give up. Time will go on with or without you.

  1. You're right coach every step does make a difference. to paraphrase Muhammad Ali, the fight is won on the road and in the gym, long before you dance under the lights.
