Duncan Nugget® #41: Size Doesn’t Matter?

It’s not the size of the step; it’s the direction that’s important. People get so frustrated about mistakes and mishaps because they are overwhelmed by the thought of what’s required to make things right.

If you’ve been walking down the wrong path in life, one step in the right direction will put you closer to your goal. Think about that.

If you’ve got a big project to tackle, one step puts you closer to completion.

One step. It’s called progress.

In other words focus more on what you CAN do and less on what you can’t do. It’s not a question of “what’s wrong with you?”

Duncan Nugget® #106: Become Exceptional

It might be time to cut back on some things in your life that you only do at an average level so that you can spend more time becoming exceptional at one or two things.

Easier said then done?

Hey…it’s called “exceptional” for a reason.

Exceptional people make more money. Exceptional people have more time freedom. Exceptional people tend to be healthier and lead more fulfilled lives.

Million-Dollar Question: 
What do you do at an exceptional level?

If you answered “nothing”, then cut back on something (like TV) and work on becoming exceptional.
