“The way to get the most out of your work and your life is to go as small as possible. Most people think just the opposite. They think big success is time consuming and complicated. As a result, their calendars and to-do lists become overloaded and overwhelming.” -Gary Keller

The truth is, success is not taunting, nor complicated. Rather, success is a matter of going small and repeatedly doing only that which is most important.

As motivational speaker Jim Rohn once said,

“Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying basic fundamentals.”

Somewhere along the way, this has been misconstrued and forgotten.

Many people have come to believe that the idea of, “the hustle,” 90-hour work weeks, and optimizing every minute of your day is the only way to achieve extraordinary results.

However, this is blatantly untrue. In order to get big results, you actually have to go small. You have to focus on only the things you should do, rather than all the things you could do.
