Have you ever thought about how the cumulative effect of something you don't even think of can be quite phenomenal? Take Lattes for example: One Latte a day doesn't sound expensive. Who would notice �2 - �2.50? It's your daily treat, isn't it? But think about it. Let's say you have a Latte once every weekday: that is �10 - �12.50 a week. Still not too bad! But in a month it starts mounting up to �42 - �52.50 or even worse, �520 - �650 a year!
I read an article that said that half a muffin negates the average amount of energy you use in an hour's workout! Who eats half a muffin? One hour of sweat wasted! Who would have thought that a simple treat after exercise might actually make you gain weight? One treat a day can make a big difference to your weight over a year.
So one tiny treat a day can make a big difference to your bank account or your waistline!
Now before you all rush out and deprive yourself of absolutely everything, it is worth considering that it is the little things that can make a big difference to achieving your dreams too. Every mountain only gets climbed by taking the first step. One step doesn't sound much, but add each step together and you can scale amazing heights!
So here is a question for you:
What is the one small thing you can do today that will make a big difference to your business by next year?
If you run your own business making a business call, mailing a newsletter, tweeting about a course you run doesn't sound like much does it, but think about the accumulative effect that it can have. Most sales (about 60%) only happen after the fifth contact with someone, most people (88%) give up long before then. Imagine if you considered each contact as the small thing that you needed to today.
A cluttered house can be decluttered, by simply spending a few minutes each day tackling a drawer or a shelf at a time. What small action would make a difference to your administration?
Imagine what you could achieve by spending fifteen minutes a day working towards your goal.

Small Changes Can Make Big Differences
You don't have to do dramatic things to change your life. I saw an article recently that American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by eliminating one olive from each salad served first class. It has got me thinking. It is so often the little things that make big differences. Who would have thought that one little olive would make a difference?Have you ever thought about how the cumulative effect of something you don't even think of can be quite phenomenal?
