Stepping Stones and Baby Steps to Success Using Jeff Olson's Slight Edge Approach.

Stepping Stones and Baby Steps to Success Using Jeff Olson's Slight Edge Approach.

“The simple little disciplines done again and again over time would move the highest and mightiest mountains”  This is what is known as the as the Slight Edge Philosophy by Jeff Olson.  Being in MLM/Network Marketing, for me personally, I need to use this approach.  I always thought by doing a little bit everyday was doing the slight edge approach and philosophy.  What I didn’t do is discipline myself the right way.   I got overwhelmed, tired and to the point of being in the arena of almost quitting MLM/Network Marketing.

I have had some work trying to get back on track, not only with organization,  not only with my mindset but with getting back in shape, which means exercise everyday.  

When you do things for a reason or with meaning, things are easier, your attitude is better and you are more focused. It was and is important for me to focus what is right in front of me and not what was is ahead of me.The point I am trying to make is you have to be positive, disciplined and focus on what is right in front of you by taking baby steps. Take baby steps and it when you do take baby steps, you learn how to master the slight edge philosophy. “Learning how to learn”.   

It’s not just about doing a little bit every day.  It’s about DISCIPLINING YOURSELF to commit,  focus and do something with meaning.  Learning  “how to learn” as Jeff Olson states in his book.  It doesn’t have to be huge; it just has to be meaningful.  When I read Jeff Olson’s book called the Slight Edge, my understanding is that when I do something every day with meaning and continue to do it, you begin to discipline yourself and understand what you are doing, and it keeps me moving forward.

 I can say today, that my passion is to teach, my faith,  network and learn; my passion has and will always be to help others.

If there is a part of Jeff Olson and his book that I want you to takeaway, it is to remember when you were in the process of learning how to walk, you crawled, you stood, you walked, you fell and in the process of all of this you learned how to  walk, how miraculous.    

 What is different today is people want to run; they don’t want to take baby steps with any goal. When did you lose the ability to make a goal, go for it, and get it?

 Somewhere along the way in your/our lives, we were conditioned.  You and I became unwilling to take baby steps. You and I lost faith in the universal truth that the simple little disciplines done over and over, again and again over time would move mountains and be profound.

 The Slight Edge philosophy is based on doing things that are easy-little disciplines (baby steps), in which, over time done consistently, add up to the biggest achievements. The problem is that all those things that are easy to do are just as easy not to do. Why is something easy not to do? If you don't do it; it won't kill you TODAY. But, that insignificant error in judgment, compounded over time, will d destroy you, kill your dreams and desires and ruin any chance for you to have success, you can count on it.
