Little Things Matter by W. Todd Smith

So, I found this book online and thought it would be good to use in my work book club that we do.

This author sounds interesting in that he has made a difference in people's lives and in his own.

I am going to try to post the 100 ways to improve your life today recommendations that he has.

I highly recommend purchasing the book from Amazon or him directly so that you can write on it and take notes.

Let's get inspired!

 

Preface of the book:

Whether you want to become the world's best parent, develop into your

company's most valued employee, be a top-producing salesperson, or the

owner of your own successful business, the habits you develop and

choices you make—no matter how insignificant they seem at the time—

will define the level of success you achieve.

Brian Tracy, whose teachings have had a profound influence on my life,

wrote a challenging book Eat That Frog. He wrote about the importance

of developing good habits.

Your success in life and work will be determined by the kinds

of habits that you develop over time. The habit of setting

priorities, overcoming procrastination, and getting on with

your most important task is a mental and physical skill. As

such, this habit is learnable through practice and repetition,

and over and over again, until it locks into your subconscious

mind and becomes a permanent part of your behavior. Once

it becomes a habit, it becomes both automatic and easy to do.

Jim Rohn, who has been hailed as one of the most influential thinkers of

our time and whose teachings have also been a source of guidance for me

throughout my career, said, ―For your life to get better you must get

better."

Far too often I've observed that people focus exclusively on processes or

strategies to achieve their goals without giving serious consideration to

their personal attributes. In other words, they never ask themselves who

they need to become to achieve their goals.

Bound within the covers of this book are 100 short, action-driven lessons

that can help you become the person you need to be to achieve both your

personal and professional goals.

Regardless of race or age, position or education, you have the chance to

grow and develop skills, to build positive relationships, to create an

attractive personality, to reach your goals, and to enjoy a happy and

fulfilling life.

I hope that as you read and consider these LITTLE THINGS, you will

become excited about developing yourself. As you begin implementing

these lessons into your daily life, you will experience more energy and a

stronger motivation, new courage and inspiration, renewed hope and

greater confidence. Growing and becoming a better person is one of the

most rewarding feelings you will ever experience.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to share the lessons I've learned. I

hope they make as big a difference in your life as they have in mine.

Wishing you success in achieving your personal and professional best,

W. Todd Smith
