Little Hinges

November 13, 2018 by Justin Kerby

little hinges swing big doors

“Little hinges swing big doors” 

-W. Clement Stone

 

Small changes can lead to major success. If you’re setting goals and missing frequently, look at the system you have in place, and whether or not it’s helping you accomplish your goals. I always try to focus on the system and let the goals fall where they may. Goals are great for motivation – but ultimately it’s the system you have in place that’s going to garner results. Scott Adams has elaborated on this extensively and I’m a proponent of his assertions.

The swinging big door is the goal, the little hinges are the system. Focus on the hinges.
