-An Insider's Guide to Buying A Franchise-

I was thinking a lot about the hectic frenzy I’ve created for myself – running the brokerage business while opening a retail store IS demanding. And there are a million-and-one things to do. But somewhere in my mind was the advice I’ve heard many times from business coach and friend Steve Chandler. And this post just showed up in my email box as part of my Club Fearless membership. If you’re unfamiliar with Steve’s work, see http://www.imindshift.com/ . Anyway, hope you enjoy it. 

 ”We evolve not by dreaming of giant steps, but by committing ourselves in action to little ones, moving step by relentless step in an ever-expanding field of vision.”

      In golf, if you win by one stroke, you can get millions of dollars in prize money. But for second place you’ll just get a fraction of that.
    
     A single stroke is all it takes in life, too. A lot of people become preoccupied and think it takes so much more. They think they have to be much, much better than everyone else to succeed. 

     But the truth is, you just have to win by one stroke. One gentle little swing, and you’re in. You just have to be slightly preferred by your customer over someone else. And the same is true if you work in an organization and want that promotion. You just have to be slightly preferred over the other person. And you can be preferred by one small stroke. That one stroke of courtesy or kindness you put into your work that others don’t, and you win.
