Move it ahead 10%

Remember when you were going up that mountain and it looked SO far away and SO out of reach?
Do you remember complaining and worrying about how you were going to get up that thin? Well, you might not remember but many of us do…and we also probably remember that the worrying and complaining did not do us very much.

This is not any different that what happens to most people who want to make "big changes" and reach "big achievement" here and now.
Actually, what defeats so many people and makes them fail in their "New Year Resolutions" is that they see the "all or nothing" paradigm as the way to go forward.
Dangerous… if you really observe how things move ahead and how progress is made you will notice that it is normally little by little, inch by inch, stage by stage.
That is why I often encourage my clients to take the "10% perspective" on things:
What is it that you can do to move the project ahead by 10%?
Suddenly I find that the client moves ahead, things systematically, manages expectations and capitalizes on small successes.

Taking joy from the process and not just from the results is a small "secret" that many successful people abide by.
These small victories fuel continued efforts which is the basis for making things happen.

Move it ahead by 10% and enjoy the process!
