The Next Step

On one side of my desk sits Austin Kleon’s book, Keep Going. On the other side, Seth Godin’s, The Practice.

These two books are about how we sustain our efforts over time and they are well worth reading.

Let’s face it, this is an area that many of us struggle with. We may start with energy and enthusiasm and find it challenging to keep it up. We may find ourselves overwhelmed with the enormity of the task ahead. Or we may hit one too many bumps in the road.

As the saying goes, the way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time.

Take the next small step. Then the next. And another.

Rinse and repeat.
