Leverage Part Two

by Judy Baker on August 17, 2010

One Wheel BarrowMy husband, Garry, is nearly finished filling in our backyard where previously we had a deck. He has loaded a total of 16,000 pounds of dirt and poured it over the ground in the backyard. Each wheel barrel full was about 200 pounds. It took him 80 trips to complete this seemingly overwhelming task.

The yard in progressHe did this step-by-step, day by day, shovel full by shovel full. He didn’t do it all at once. Some days he got more done than others. In less than three months from start to where we are today, this Herculean task is nearly complete.

As I said last time, I was only able to help with small, but important effort. Garry demonstrated that doing a little bit at a time and yield massive results. The changes in our space reflect his efforts. Sometimes he spent an hour, sometimes two or more. What he did was work at it with consistency over time.

Take a look at areas in your life and business where you would like to make a dramatic and significant change. These changes can be accomplished with small steps taken consistently. Just remember my husband moved nearly 1ton of material by himself. If you are committed to making a change I’ll bet you can move your own mountains.
