Small Steps Count

A loved one has started
an exercise program.
He does 10 minutes of walking
every day.

He counts ALL walking.
If he walks to the bathroom,
he counts that as part
of his 10 minutes.

And that’s okay.
Because he is still
doing more walking
than he did
before tracking it.

Small steps count.
They add up.
They still take us
toward our goals.

Complete a small task
for your business startup today.

Decide on a font color.
Talk to someone
in your target market.
Research sources
for supplies.

Do something
to move you closer
to your goals.

Your Goals ARE Important

The world is a f*cked up place
right now.

There’s talk of a world war.
The pandemic continues to disable
or kill
people around us.
There are fires and floods
and a gazillion other things
happening.

What is the point
of building our businesses?
Do those goals and other goals matter?

Yes, they matter.
They matter to US.

We’re building businesses
and working toward our goals
because that’s important to us.

That’s one of the ways we’re changing
the world for the better.

And we have some control
over
the building of our businesses
and the achieving of our goals.

We have very little control
over
the other sh*t that’s happening
in this world.

Your goals ARE important.
Allocate time and energy and other resources
to achieving them.

Help One Person A Day

When we run our own businesses
and can work hours
we decide to work,
people WILL take advantage
of that.

They will ask us
to pick up their kids
after school
or drive them to appointments
or do little tasks
that on their own
seem like nothing.

But multiplied
by everyone we know
and asked every day
suck all our time.

I help one person a day.

Many days, that’s it.
I don’t help more people
than that.

And some busy days,
I help by donating supplies
or cash
or helping to promote a promotion.

I tell the asker
of the favor
I can’t help
that I have to help someone else
that day.

Help people
but also protect your time.
