An idea from my NYT bestselling book. Comment BOOK for the link to order it now!
I had a conversation recently with a young man looking to improve his standing in life.
I told him the same advice I received when I was starting out:
Take the small things seriously, because small things become big things.
If you’re going to do it, do it well.
The person who takes small things seriously earns the trust of those around them — they create value for everyone they encounter.
That person will eventually be given bigger and bigger opportunities, the types of opportunities that dramatically change one’s trajectory.
If you don’t take the small things seriously, you will never be trusted to take on the big.
How you do one thing is how you do everything.
If you are observed cutting corners on things you don’t view as important, why would anyone assume you will act differently on the bigger tasks?
Make excellence your standard.
Take everything seriously.
