It's the little things that we do everyday that determine our success.
It's the little things we fail to do everyday that determine our failure.
If you had put £1 in a suitcase every day since you started work how much would you have collected?
Mine is £10,071
£1 has always been a small amount, certainly in my work lifetime, but the compound effect of time makes it substantial?
What are the little things that you do for your business every day that compound to make you a success?
What are the little things that you do every day that compound and therefore make you a success?
What are the little things that you don't do every day that will compound and therefor set you on the path to failure?

Funnily enough, on my father's advice while I was living at home in my late teens in the late 1970's but working, he said save £5 month into an insurance endowment policy for ten years.
The man from the pru came round and upsold me to a 25 year monthly direct debit policy because the government (ol' Jim Callaghan) gave tax relief on that sort of policy. So I paid £4.61 a month and my policy got credited with £5.00.
So this big certificate on card type foolscap paper in a folder comes through telling me that if I died I'd get £1500 (funeral cost plus a bit back then) but that in 2003 the proceeds of said policy, providing all premiums are paid etc blah blah, would land on my mat.
Anyhow I got a cheque for over £8500. All for a £1 a week.

A 25 year policy earned more commission than a 10 year one.

Always try to phone at least 1 customer per evening in advance without knowing the weather forecast so if the next day is lousy weather I feel obliged to go to work as I promised to clean that persons house instead of looking out the window watching the rain and thinking shall I bother today. Like to be organised and have contingency wet weather work stacked up when possible as an alternative to cleaning windows unless I'm really behind with work. Busy working keeps me positive. When I'm bored I started taking a day or two or even a week off for the sake of trying to find my motivation which is a bad thing.
