The Slight Edge Chapter 2 and how it applies to small business coaching.

The Slight Edge is a brilliant book written by Jeff Olson Buy It!. As I read the book - which examines the differences between success and failure and attempts to explain why some people are successful and other not I realised that every chapter in the book reflected what we teach our clients on a daily basis.

It also revealed to me the reasons why so many people become frustrated with change and why so many of them revert to form.

The second chapter of the book is called the Secret of Easy Things. I interpreded this to mean that most of the necessary changes that people need to make in their lives or in their small businesses require relatively easy actions.

Most of the massive changes that have taken part in peoples small business have started with a small and easy change in most cases, the changes or the easy thing may have been about making the decision to take action.

So why then do suffer from status quo syndrome and right now, more so than ever?

Probably because the fear of change is greater than the risk or consequence of no change.

Most people believe that change is massive with immediate impact whereas maintaining the status quo is not its gradual.

Many small business owners allow their destiny to be shaped by external influences and fail to provide leadership because they are travelling in convoy This just will not cut the mustard any more and more and more small business owners realise this.

We stress to our clients that by setting clear and concise goals for the business, both long and short term, it is possible to identify the different tasks that need to be achieved to deliver on these goals. In the same vein, it is possible to identify the simple easy steps that must be taken each and every day of the business.

Without the clearly defined goals for the business, the blaming starts, the excuses starts and the past to doing nothing, the path of least resistance takes over and ingrains itself into the core of the business.

Start with the simple small steps and keep going. Stay Going, Dont give up. Ever

If you own a small business, either offline or online, do you know what small and easy steps that you need to take in your business, in your life to make a huge difference to you. Are you prepared to venture down this long and winding road?
