Before Big Success, There Must Be Small Success
You’re not ready for big success until you’ve had small success.
What do I mean by big and small success?
To me, big success is the type that makes you exalts you in the presence of many people. It is the type of success that gets you recognized by others as a “guru”, or a “maestro”, or “someone with mad skills or talents”. While this kind of success is good, I believe that it is important to first experience success in the small things in life. That’s what I call small success.
It is the small matters that count.
For example, do you have a problem with being on time for an appointment? Do you lack self-discipline? Do you procrastinate easily? In my opinion, such issues often separate the very successful people from the not-so-successful people. If you do not know how to deal with a small issue such as being lazy, how then will you be able to deal with bigger responsibilities that are involved in life, such as being a parent, a husband/wife, paying the bills, etc? If you want to be an Internet marketer, how will you be able to manage your time if you cannot turn up on time for appointments?
Let the little moments of “wins” add up to your experiences of small success. Do not be discouraged by your small beginnings, because there is room for them to grow. Celebrate every moment you make a small success, such as being punctual, getting a task accomplished and being diligent. Examine the areas in your life that need to be improved, and challenge yourself to improve.
