Small wins


Every big achievement starts with a small win.

A small step forward.

You’re never too far from success if you keep moving — even if it’s inch by inch.

You achieve your goals by winning those small, everyday battles.

You decide to wake up early.

You decide to focus on your priorities.

You decide to learn. To grow. To improve.

That’s the power of small wins.

…and they add up over time.

Without focusing on the small win…and only focusing on your long-term goals…life would be incredibly dull and depressing.

Besides this valuable framework (that you should apply to your life)…

Why am I sharing this with you?

Because every day you have the chance to secure a small win…

Or you can stay where you are…

You can even move backward…

…but you always have the opportunity to secure a small win.

There are no insignicant wins.

Every win counts — and each one builds on the last.

When I was in the process of quitting my job and building my dream business, small wins were really important to me.

If I wrote that day, it was a win.

If I read that day, it was a win.

If I saved money that day, it was a win.

Without those small wins, I don’t know if I could’ve escaped the long exhausting hours that I hated.

Every day I made sure to move closer to my goal.

You ought to do the same.

Yes, they are small…but they are profound — they’re the real difference-makers.

Torpedoes and airplanes. Understanding this one thing they have in common skyrockets your productivity almost immediately. What is it? Besides the fact that they’re made out of metal… They’re “off course” 90% of the time. Their job is to course-correct. You choose a target (or end destination) for them and they drive at high speeds toward it. …but they’re never fully “on-target.” The entire way they’re on the way to the destination… A system is running in the background, constantly correcting...

Who am I? That is a question I’ve been wrestling with recently. Not from a philosophical perspective. More so…who am I to you? Am I just some random guy in your inbox? Your go-to productivity strategist? Or something totally different… Like your favorite Portuguese friend? I didn’t know. Until I asked a professional turned business owner inside the Elite Performer Community — Stephen. And what he said surprised me… Stephen views me not just as a static person. Rather as someone who wears...
