Find the Simple Power in One a Day

Seth Godin is a genius. After writing several best-selling books on business and ideas he also happens to have one of the most thought-provoking and interesting blogs I've seen.

Here's something that is crucial to understand. If you build enough molehills each day and week, you will create a MOUNTAIN by the end of the year. Piece by piece you will build your business to become what you envision.

Here's a fantastic post from Seth Godin's blog sethgodin.typepad.com

There are at least 200 working days a year. If you commit to doing a simple marketing item just once each day, at the end of the year you've built a mountain. Here are some things you might try (don't do them all, just one of these once a day would change things for you):

• Send a handwritten and personal thank you note to a customer
• Write a blog post about how someone is using your product or service
• Research and post a short article about how something in your industry works
• Introduce one colleague to another in a significant way that benefits both of them
• Read the first three chapters of a business or other how-to book
• Record a video that teaches your customers how to do something
• Teach at least one of your employees a new skill
• Go for a ten minute walk and come back with at least five written ideas on how to improve what you offer the world
• Change something on your website and record how it changes interactions
• Help a non-profit in a significant way (make a fundraising call, do outreach)
• Write or substantially edit a Wikipedia article
• Find out something you didn't know about one of your employees or customers or co-workers

Enough molehills is all you need to have a mountain.
